Bug Description
Binary package hint: gthumb
After upgrading 64 bit 10.04 to 10.10 gthumb no longer loads pictures from my canon SD550 digital camera when connected by USB.
Version of gthumb is 3:2.11.3-2build1
What was expected is a normal gthumb import session which reads the camera and presents the pictures for importing.
What happened instead:
You get a popup window which says "Could not load the folder DBus error org.freedesktop
After closing that popup, gthumb then loads a pictures folder that is on an sata hard drive that is mounted and used as my backup drive. The drop down list in the picture importer only shows "backup" as the source of the photos.
I have tried changing the command for gthumb importer from:
sh -c 'gvfs-mount -u ~/.gvfs/gphoto2*; exec gthumb --import-photos'
to:
sh -c 'gvfs-mount -s gphoto2 ; sleep 3 ; exec gthumb --import-photos'
as this was needed to get it to work in 10.04, but it has no effect in 10.10.
If I take the memory card out of the camera and put it in an external card reader, gthumb will import the pictures as expected.
Shotwell, the new default picture import application in 10.10, has no problems seeing and importing photos from the camera.
i have the same problem with my canon ixus 860is.
i'm working with 10.10 32bit.
Has anyone solved this problem or found a workaround?
