    How do I turn off F-Spot prompt in Nautilus

    So I've got the release candidate of UbuntuStudio Hardy up and running, but there's one thing that keeps bugging me. Every time I open a folder (sometimes even a folder on a partition) that has digital photos I get a bright blue notification that there appears to be digital photos on this device and that I should open F-Spot (even if F-Spot is already open). How do I make this notification go away? Am I the only one who finds this extremely annoying?

    Bump. Am I the only one who has this problem?

    Open Nautilus, go to edit/preferences/media, then on the "Photos" line change the selection to "Do Nothing".

    Sorry mate, already tried that, but still the notification is there.

    I'm looking in system >> preferences and there is no 'devices and media' section. I even checked in the Main Menu Editor and no options were hidden. It's also not in the Control Center, or the Administration menu. I'm on 8.04.

    Edit: I just found it, it's called Removeable Drives and Media, but my "import photos" box is not ticked.

    Edit #2: A bit more clarification on the issue, I'm mainly receiving this prompt when browsing my Fat32 partition, even if the folder on that partition doesn't have any digital photos - this leads me to wonder if there's something wrong in my /etc/fstab that's making nautilus do this. I also see the prompt when I attach a digital camera or memory card with photos (that part I'm not too concerned with, though I never use F-spot, so turning the prompt off completely would be fine by me). Here's a picture of the offending message:

    I also hate this thing. It's wasting space and just plain pointless.

    I know the media has photos on it, for crying out loud--that's why I'm browsing it.

    Also, the wording is just annoying. "This media contains digital photos". Well, what kind of photos were they expecting? It's a computer.

    Neither of the above would bug me (and I would not feel inclined to rant about them) if only there was the option to turn this useless feature off. Let people who want it use it. I hate it and it's in my way.
