Public bug reported:

Previously, Shotwell would confusingly refuse to mount my Android phone
as a camera, since Nuatilus would always mount it first. So I would just
copy the files off the phone with Nautilus and *then* import them into
Shotwell.

Since upgrading to 24.04, that has been fixed, but now Shotwell *always*
mounts my Android phone as a camera if Shotwell is open. I can be
browsing around it in Nautilus, open Shotwell, and it will be taken away
from Nautilus by Shotwell. There does not seem to be a Shotwell setting
to control this behavior.

Shotwell seems to have a couple other problems with talking to the phone
(it goes through my hundreds of photos making previews at about one per
second, and it sees a bunch of non-photo files or thumbnails on the
phone that it thinks it probably ought to import). So I still want to
copy the files oiff in Nautilus and then import them in Shotwell.

So what I am *trying* to do is open Shotwell, see what the most recent
photo I have is, go on the phone in Nautilus, and copy all the newer
photos from the correct photos directory on the phone onto my machine,
so I can import them in Shotwell from a local folder.

But I can't do this, because I can't have Shotwell open while also
having the phone mounted in Nautilus.
