f-spot don't open automaticaly on usb camera connexion

[Jean-luc Henry]

Binary package hint: f-spot

When the camera, Canon Powershot SD 870 IS, is connected with the USB port, the icon showing the camera as a mounted disk shows up on the desktop but f-spot did not fires up.

After that, I can launch with success F-Spot directly by executing it. I can also launch it indirectly by clicking Open with F-Spot button located on top right of the window that appear after clicking on the camera icon. F-Spot is then able to import perfectly pictures located inside the camera.

Thanks for the report Jean, may you please tell us what do you have set at the Nautilus Edit->Preferences->Media tab and more specific into the Photos options?

Here is my Nautilus print screen and as you probably guessed, everything is grey out.

But still, when I launch F-Spot and click on the Import (+) button, I got message saying:
>Error connecting to camera
>Received error "Could not lock the device"
>while connecting to camera

When I connect my camera, my dmesg says:
[121065.024071] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
[121065.166657] usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I am adding my f-spot debug message showing what is happening when clicking on import button (+).

And btw, someone else confirm this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/354264/comments/3

You might also want to know. When clicking on Nautilus import in F-spot button, F-spot open correctly and is able to import perfectly pictures (what it is, btw, unable when launched directly: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/354264).

And after having clicked on Nautilus F-spot button, here is the process launched:

ps axfw|grep f-spot
2431 ? Sl 0:03 f-spot /usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe --import gphoto2:usb:001,003
