Comment 28 for bug 351122

That's fine and I hope digikam (an excellent application otherwise) also takes care of this issue but color me confused:

Why would you mount a PTP camera at all? Surely the backend should distinguish between cameras with
usb mass storage access and those with ptp access and act appropriately i.e. only mount the camera in the first case...

Am I missing something?

Please excuse the pushy tone but I just wasted 2 hours researching this problem and it has existed for at least a year now in Ubuntu.
