** Description changed: Output of "uname -a" Linux linux-desktop 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 01:57:42 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux Dapper Drake 6.06 I've had a bit of trouble with the dialog box that comes up when plugging in a camera. Originally a Dialog Box would come up asking if I wanted to import the pictures on the camera. I repeatedly said "Ignore" and would then copy the pictures where I wanted them with the file browser. Eventually I got tired of it asking me so I clicked "Always do this" and then clicked "Ignore". The next time I plugged in my camera, nothing happened. No automount, no prompt, nothing... I logged in as another user and it still came up with the Dialog Box and I was able to do my old stuff again. That was a month or so ago. I've grabbed whatever updates have come out and I also found the Check Box for "Import photos" under the Camera tab from the System->Preferences->Removable Disks and Media menu (which was still checked). I unchecked and rechecked the Import box and (yeah!) I started getting prompted again. Then I thought "I should uncheck that box now". I did and it gave me the desired behavior (auto-mount without prompting me to import them. (Cool) Then I thought "I should reproduce the problem and see if checking and unchecking that box really is what made it go away." So I plugged in my camera (the Dialog box came up), checked "Always do this" and clicked "Ignore". I ejected the disk, turned off my camera, waited about 10 seconds then turned it back on. Uh oh. I get prompted again! I repeated over and over and even tried logging out between ejecting the disk and turning the camera back on. Still got prompted. + Why is the dialog box now ignoring my "Always do this" selection? + So here I am. I would make the following recommendations... - 1) Why is the dialog box now ignoring my "Always do this" selection? + 1) Change the "Import pictures" prompt dialog box to have the buttons + "Import Photos" and "Don't Import Photos". (roughly speaking) - 2) Change the "Import pictures" prompt dialog box to have the buttons - "Import Photos" and "Don't Import Photos". If the user checks "Always do - this" then "Don't Import Photos", then the check box under - System->Preferences->Removable Disks and Media menu (Camera tab) would - become unchecked. + 2) Add a check box that says "prompt me each time" under + System->Preferences->Removable Disks and Media menu (Camera tab) that + the user could clear if they wanted to start being prompted again. + + 3) Then, if the user checks "Always do this" then the "prompt me each + time" checkbox would be cleared under the System menu. + + 4) f they clicked "Always do this" and THEN clicked the "Import Photos" + button on the dialog box, the "Import Photo" checkbox under the system + menu would be checked. OR if they clicked the "Don't Import Photo" + button the "Import Photo" checkbox would be cleared.
