Public bug reported:
I want to use VLC as my DVD player and nothing (or picasa) as the
program to run when a photo SD card is inserted. No matter what I do in
terms of configuration, the gnome desktop still always runs totem and f
-spot-importer.
These preferences cannot be set by right clicking on a file and setting
'Open with' as they are not files. Volumes do not have an "Open With"
tab.
Photo settings can be set by System > Preferences > Removeable Drives
and Media but the "Digital Camera" tickbox and command is ignored.
There is not a section for DVDs.
I can use gconf-editor and change the values such as
/desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autophoto_command and
/desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autophoto or
/desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_dvd and
/desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autoplay_dvd_command but changing the
tickboxes and commands has no effect. Heck I can even run gconf-editor
as root and change then again.
Despite doing all this, totem is still always run for dvd and f-spot-
import for photos. I'd at least be happy being able to disable the
automatic actions, and as a bonus would like to set the correct
applications. I am on the verge of uninstalling the apps or symlinking
their names to the programs I actually want to run. Using Google shows
numerous users with the same issues and equally desperate solutions.
