Re: Camera auto-mounted, but cannot download photos with "Import Photos"
I experienced the same problem as you do.
It seems that gvfs automatically mounts the camera and f-spot unmounts it when photographs are being imported. Gthumb (which downloaded your pictures in Hardy) doesn't seem to be able to unmount.
I figured out how to manually unmount my camera in gvfs.
You get a list of the mounted devices with "gvfs-mount -l"
With your camera inserted, the command outputs a line similar to this: "Mount(0): Nikon Corp. NIKON DSC D40 -> gphoto2://[usb:002,019]/"
If I wanted to unmount the volume I could type "gvfs-mount -u gphoto2://[usb:002,013]/"
But since the device number would change every time, you'd better use this command "gvfs-mount -s gphoto2". It unmounts all volumes with "gphoto2" in it (which will be your cameras).
So, to unmount the volume and import when the camera is connected I checked "Import digital photographs when connected" in Preferences > Removable drives and media. In Command I typed "gvfs-mount -s gphoto2 & gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h"
This will unmount the camera and start gthumb, as you were used to.
For now, this solution seems to work most times. The command doesn't change anything permanent either, so it's safe to use.
I hope It works for you too
