What I've discovered is that if I copy the flphoto file in /etc/dynamic/launchers/camera to a file called digikam.desktop then edit it as shown below: Desktop Entry] Name=Digikam Comment=All what you need for the photos from your digital camera TryExec=/usr/bin/digikam Exec=/usr/bin/digikam Terminal=false Icon=digikam.png Type=Application Then edit the kde.desktop link in the same dir as such: [Desktop Entry] Name=Digikam Comment=All what you need for the photos from your digital camera TryExec=/usr/bin/digikam Exec=/usr/bin/digikam Terminal=false Icon=digikam.png Type=Application [Desktop Entry] And I don't know if I had to edit the kde.desktop link or not, but, now when I turn on my Sony CDMavica camera Digikam comes up instead of flphoto. Now, if I could just get the system to read the mini-cds in the drive instead of having to use the camera I'd be a happy camper. -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 19:49:16 up 6 days, 3:08, 1 user, load average: 2.04, 1.31, 0.90 Mandrake Linux 10.1 Official, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I suggest you locate your hot tub outside your house, so it won't do too much damage if it catches fire or explodes.
