In 8.04 I had configured gthumb --import-photos to run when I plugged in my camera. (System | Preferences | Removable Drives and Media...). But 8.10 when I plug in my camera, Nautilus mounts it via gphoto2 vfs which makes gthumb complain that it can't grab the device.

I can't find any way to tell Nautilus not to mount the camera. I tried setting the File Management Preferences for Photos to "do nothing" but it still does the something of mounting it.

The only workaround I've found is to open up nautilus, unmount the camera and then run gthumb --import-photos from the command line.

I don't know if this is a bug in hal, nautilus, or gnome-volume-manager. It's probably not a gthumb bug per se but I'm not sure where to file it really.
