With the co-operation of HAL and gnome-volume-manager, this is indeed possible. It will mount the camera (if it shows up as a normal usb storage device), detect that it contains photos and ask if you want to import the photos (at which point it will launch some importing program specified in the configuration of gnome-volume-manager). The camera doesn't have to show up as usb storage device, my Canon for example doesn't (shame on them) and it still is detected and I get the dialog by just plugging it in. If your camera does pretend to be an usb storage device, a nice tool to have on your panel is the drive mount applet. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
