libgphoto2 > 2.2.1 now treats usb mass storage gizmos like digital cameras, if they have a "DCIM" directory. (A flash card from a camera will have a "DCIM" directory, as per the DCF spec. A USB hard drive with photos would probably not have a "DCIM" directory.) You can "import" from DCF/DCIM folders now.

Earlier versions of libgphoto2 could not do this, so gnome-volume-manager launched gthumb in folder view instead. This approach is inconvenient for people who use flash card readers. (Like me: my Digital Rebel has a USB1 port, which is SLOW. So I use a USB2 card reader.)

I would suggest that you update the gnome-volume-manager gthumb script to use "gthumb --import-photos" if a "DCIM" directory is found on the mounted device.
