I used to plug in my camera into the USB interface and was able to open the picture storage with the KDE file manager - the file manager came up automatically.
Now since I have installed openSUSE 11.2, digikam insists to take over.
How can I configure SUSE 11.2 that it offers me the file manager option again? It would be great (but not necessary) if it offered a selection “Open with …” when the USB cable is plugged in.
Sorry for the typos but I cannot edit the title.
When I enter an USB memory device (USB stick, no camera), the popup offers me the possibility to open with digikam as well as with a file manager. Does that not work at yours?
This is true but I do not connect a USB memory stick. If I try with a USB memory, I see
“Devices recently plugged in … VFAT
2 options for this device”
and then the option to open the device with digikam or the file manager.
With the Dynax 7D camera, however, it says “USB Imaging Interface” (which it did not with previous SUSE versions) and does not give the option to open it with dolphin. The previous SUSE versions handled the Minolta camera storage as a memory media, and this is what I also want to have in the future.
I am looking for the place where the device identification is handled and the decision is made which application to load. If it was possible to identify the device codes as a memory device, it is hopefully still possible with the right incantations.
/var/log/messages tells me

does it give the option to open with another program, down at the
bottom of the popup, a “Configure” button maybe…and, if you click
that i think you can browse a list of possible applications to
associate with this device…

Hi,
If you go to systemsettings and click on the advanced tab there’s an entry called Device Actions. Make sure you have an entry for Storage Volume, Camera to open with dolphin. If you don’t have one you can add one with these parameters:
Action Name: Open with File Manager
Command: kioclient exec camera:/
1st Parameter type: Content Disjunction
2nd Parameter type: Content Conjunction
3rd Parameter type: Property Match
3rd Device type: Storage Volume
3rd Value name: Ignored
3rd Equals: false
4th Parameter type: Property Match
4th Device type: Storage Volume
4th Value name: Usage
4th Equals: FileSystem
5th Parameter type: Property Match
5th Device type: Camera
5th Value name: Supported Drivers
5th Equals: gphoto
Take Care,
Ian
Thanks, Ian, your post looks as if it is the solution. I have a problem to match it with my the descriptions on my system.
I have entered
Action Name: Open with File Manager
Command: kioclient exec camera:/
- Any of the contained conditions must match
|- All of the contained conditions must match
| -The device's property StorageVolume.ignored must equal false
|- The device's property StorageVolume.usage must equal FileSystem
|- The device's property Camera.supportedDrivers must equal gphoto
When I then click on OK to accept the input, I get an error message "It appears that the action name, command, icon or condition are not valid. Therefore changes will not be applied.
The nesting of the two containers does not look logical to me because the first container contains only one item but this is how I understand your description.
Actually it should be more like this. It automatically gave me this layout when I added a new action to test it, all I had to do was change the values for everything.
Also have you chosen an icon for the action? You have to choose an icon or else it will give you that error. Also here’s a screenshot of what I had:
