I also had problems in karmik, the device is gPhoto instead gphoto ( notice the capital L). It also takes a couple of seconds to umount so I added it to the exec.
I fixed my gthumb-import.desktop in karmik like this: /usr/share/applications/gthumb-import.desktop Exec=sh -c 'gvfs-mount -u ~/.gvfs/g*hoto2*; sleep 3 ; exec gthumb --import-photos' -- gthumb --import-photos doesn't work in intrepid without intervention https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gthumb in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
