I think that the issue is caused by a deadlock somewhere in the driver for communicating with the camera and not caused by the application (FSpot, Nautilus) using the connection to the camera.
If I connect the camera, I get asked if I want to start FSpot. When I ignore the dialog or click "Cancel" and just access with nautilus, the issue arises after copying some files. Even the preview won't show all pictures, but it is then still possible to start copying files and some of them are successfully copied before the copy hangs and times out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258083 Title: F-Spot - Error connecting to camera.
