Comment 4 for bug 771757

If this is fixed in gPhoto (which I hope it will be), then it *could* resolve this problem for both Shotwell and Nautilus. However, I'm unsure if you really want this fixed in Nautilus, as there are good reasons to be able to traverse your Android's entire filesystem and not just its photos. That makes sense in Nautilus, but not in Shotwell.

If, however, we simply fix it in Shotwell with a workaround, then the behavior you see in Nautilus would remain the same (which, as I've said, may be desirable anyway).
