This is what I do under Debian Sarge. I don't mount my /camera/ itself, but the CF card via a USB card reader. I then use Konqueror to view the photos (as thumbnails), and drag-n-drop them to appropriate folders. At one point, I even had a KDE 'service' entry that would invoke Imagemagick to convert images into thumbnails of themselves. (So I'd just make a new folder called "thumbs", _copy_ the originals in there, and then go in and select all of the copied files and turn them into thumbs with a right-click.) I looked into talking directly to my camera (a Canon Powershot, I think), but this was a while ago, and it didn't seem as stable as it could be. It's just as easy to simply pull the CF card out and go from there, so I never bothered messing with it any further. I don't currently have any kind of automount stuff set up on my Sarge box, though. I just have icons for the devices I care about on my desktop, and I can right-click and [un]mount them as I need to... -bill! (happy that KDE 3.4 finally includes icon shapes for mounted and unmounted "CF Card" :^) ) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
