I did a bit of digging, and wrote a systemtap script to work out what was happening ... and I think I know what's going on.
Nautilus is launching f-spot, this is configured in from System->Preferences->File Management, then the "Media" tab. There is a drop-down next to "Photos", which lets you choose what to do when photos are found. On my system there are five options, ask, do nothing, open folder and "Open F-Spot Photo Manager" and "Open F-Spot Photo Manager". The trick is that you need to use the second option - it corresponds to /usr/share/applications/f-spot-import.desktop, which passes the --import option. So problem number one is that /usr/share/applications/f-spot- import.desktop and /usr/share/applications/f-spot.desktop, both have the name "F-Spot Photo Manager" - so there's no way to determine which is which in the Nautilus configuration. That is an f-spot bug. It's fairly easy to fix just by changing the name to "F-Spot Import" or something. The second bug is that f-spot --import with a file:// URI doesn't seem to work. I can see this from my stap script: 17432 exec f-spot /usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe --import file:///media/disk Which does open f-spot, and even opens the import window, but no directory is selected. I have to manually select my disk from the drop- down menu. Using f-spot --import /media/disk works fine. That also seems to be a bug in f-spot. ** Attachment added: "Patch to change name of f-spot-import.desktop" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14569027/f-spot.desktop -- Camera Device button "Open F-spot Photo Manager" doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208467 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
