Comment 3 for bug 1743274

It seems to me that you're confused about what's happening.

First, to repeat myself using different words, Rapid Photo Downloader must request GVFS to unmount the phone. There is no way around this. That's how MTP works using libmtp, which is what Linux uses.

Second, if you are are not seeing files on one of your phone's storage device that you expect to see, that means you've configured Rapid Photo Downloader incorrectly. See the option "Folders to scan" in the "Devices Scanning" section of the "Devices" panel in the program preferences.

Rapid Photo Downloader will not scan every folder on a phone's storage device because in practice it's a bad idea.
