From the camera itself or from the memory card removed and inserted
into the computer..? I have no problems with the former connected by
USB but the machine is not recognising that a card is inserted inro
the built in reader slot.

Direct from the camera. I was impressed that Fedora 9 wants to use G-
Photo rather than just thinking the camera is a memory stick.

Personally I find that is a pain in the backside, I don't *want* my
photos to appear in some odd application that doesn't do easy file
handling. All I want to do when I plug a camera in is to copy the
pictures to a directory where *my* image handling application will see
them.

Actually, F9 offers a choice of using straight memory access ('folder'),
gThumb, or F-Spot Image manager with gThumb as the default.

gThumb is pretty useful - it defaults to downloading all photos into

~/Pictures/ccyy-mm-dd--hh.mm.ss

and renaming them to nnnnn.jpg. I don't know what it does with raw
images: I haven't tried that yet. The directory name is the download
timestamp. gSpot has options for deleting images from the camera after
downloading, keeping the original names and rotating images as they're
imported. 'Delete on import' and 'Rotate on import' are on by default.

The camera remains mounted and shows as a storage desktop icon after
quitting gThumb until you either turn it off or unmount it.
