Ubuntu and digital cameras don't work well together for me, and from what I could find on the various forums, for other people too. Well, this problem only took about a year to puzzle out. With many failed sessions of mounting and remounting the camera as a hard drive and copying the files over, then using the cool photo categorizing apps to sort through them
Turns out, and not sure what update finally fixed this, or at least got me to a workable solution. But, if I dismount the camera from the desktop. since it auto-mounts when you plug it in. So, dismount the camera and then start the photo application. It will now link and import photos from within the application.
This works for both of my current favorites. DigiKam and F-Spot.
Yeah!
