gphoto2 chooses unfriendly mount point names

[Ryan Lovett]

Binary package hint: gphoto2

When I plug in my camera, gphoto2 (or gvfs or something) helpfully mounts it for me, however it chooses a mount point name of "gphoto2 mount on usb%3A001,014" under ~/.gvfs/. I would rather it choose the standard::name or standard::display-name gvfs attribute to use as the mount point, e.g. "Canon Digital Camera".

It'd be even better if I could change the name at will like on Mac OS X. You can rename the volume from the Finder and it remembers the name change when you reconnect the device.

I know it is possible (or was possible) to do this via udev but is there a GNOMEy way of doing what I want? (for the unGNOMEy workflow of using a terminal to mess around in my camera's directories)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Even if it would choose a static filename then symlinks could be used but it's random :(
