> Why doesn't %U expand to something more specific than ~/.gvfs? Sorry, I made a slight mistake, %U actually seems to expand to: ~/.gvfs/gphoto2
I know this because if you change that Exec line to: Exec=sh -c 'xmessage %U' you will get a pop-up upon camera insertion telling you to what %U expands. (~/.gvfs/gphoto2). To show that such a directory path is not sufficient, if you plug in the camera and let it mount automatically and then run this command manually: sh -c 'gvfs-mount -u ~/.gvfs/gnome2' you will get this error message: "Error finding enclosing mount: Containing mount does not exist" For reference, at this running on my computer, "ls ~/.gvfs/gnome2" shows the following: gphoto2 mount on usb%3A001,007 So that's why I made the above suggestion to use the following command in the .desktop file to unmount the camera in order to make sure the full path of the camera is specified: Exec=sh -c 'gvfs-mount -u ~/.gvfs/gphoto2*; exec gthumb --import-photos' Also, as another/additional problem, the reason I removed the double quotes is because if you change that line to this: Exec=sh -c 'xmessage "%U"' you will not get any popup what-so-ever because the double quotes seem to prevent that line from executing. So my conclusions were: 1. The %U is not expanding to provide enough information to unmount the camera. 2. The double quotes seem to cause a problem. Disclaimer: I am not an expert. There may well be a better way to fix this issue. But hope this helps explain my logic behind the above suggestion. -- gthumb doesn't work with gphoto (was please disable gphoto2 backend for Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
