I use gtkam which is pretty easy to just change models of the cammera. Just go to Camera > Add Camera > Select Model and Port where the camera is plugged.Vogateer wrote:I was starting to like Gnome, but this is driving me nuts. When I plugged in my camera and F-spot started up to import pictures, I accidentally selected PTP instead of USB Mass Storage, which didn't work, and now I cannot figure out where this setting is saved. I've looked all through my home directory, even looked in /etc where I knew a user preference shouldn't be, grepping every way I know how, and it's been a futile effort. I don't know if the setting is saved in F-spot, gnome-volume-manager, gnome-volume-manager-gthumb, hal, udev, or any of the other backends that tend to get involved. I couldn't find anything in the Preferences or Administration menu, either. Obviously I can make it so it doesn't automatically import photos, then I can just import it from the folder, but the functionality to automatically fire up F-spot is there, and the only thing holding me back is this damned hidden preference.
I'm about to give up. I'll be heading back to KDE if any more of this "hide everything from the user" gets in my way again. It works great most of the time, but one of the reasons I use linux is that it gives me control over my system. I feel like I've lost control again when I can't change the behavior of my computer in the name of simplicity or usability. Perhaps I'm just missing something, and need to learn more about all these backends, but you should be able to change the preference for this sort of thing more easily. End of rant.
You can also use the detect so it recognize it.
