This is a request for comments for bug 306646.

gnome-volume-manager has a capplet to allow setting actions for removable medias insertion. That's fine. But it include settings for digital cameras. While it make sens to have, it does not make to have it in a capplet called "Removable Drives and Media" as it is confusing for the user. How many times people wanted to use gphoto2 to access pictures on a USB Mass Storage camera ? So you get it.

So this bug is about splitting up the capplet to have one for digital cameras, and one for the removable medias. I even provide a patch. But comments in the bug tend to make me believe that my patch stay as is as there are plans to completely revamp the applet to be more generic.

Granted. What will happen when you'll need option for Music Players and other devices ? More applets ? Then yes, there is a need to redesign that. But in the mean time, GNOME 2.12 feature freeze is soon, and unless this redesign in done (CVS shows nothing currently), my patch is the only way to get an improvement of UI. Or maybe I'm just wrong and what I did is worse, UI-wise.
