I am running Debian stable (Linux foobar 3.2.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 23 07:41:30 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux).
If rhythmbox is up when I plug in my digital camera, rhythmbox grabs it as a 'removable device' and I cannot get photos from the camera. (Apps like gthumb or gphotofs fail.) Once I eject the camera under rhythmbox, these apps work OK and I can get the photos. In the past, I was offered the choice of how/if removable devices were treated. I would like to configure the system so that I have a choice of how to handle removable devices. Can someone help. Thanks. --Len Berman
