After upgrading to F19, accessing a digital camera from Gnome is
completely broken.
Gnome detects the camera when I plug it in. I can browse its file directory structure.
The first indication that something is fubared is that none of the picture files have
thumbnails, just some generic icon. Dragging an icon from the camera's folder to the
desktop always fails with an "operation not supported by backend device".
"Image browser" also has no issues showing the individual photos. Telling it to
save the photo to my desktop again fails with "operation not supported by backend
device".
In a shell, I see that instead of an ordinary USB mass storage mount in /run/media, that
I saw in F18, F19 has some strange FUSE mount. I can 'cd' into the mount. I can
navigate it. I can manually cp the individual files off the weird mount, and onto my
desktop with no issues, and the photos are fine.
But I simply cannot access the camera via Gnome. It's completely borked. After a few
rounds, shotwell and image viewer fail to even browse the camera's contents, whining
that they can't obtain exclusive access to it, or something.
Yeah, it must be a GNOME thing. I just connected my Canon PowerShot S95 and get the same
problem under GNOME (which is not my DM of choice) but it works just fine under KDE.
