I found a workaround for the well-known timezone issue which works rather fine for me. When I invoke F-Spot using "TZ=UTC f-spot", I can import fotos by drag'n drop from any folder without having the timestamp changed. So I wanted to have the same when I connect my camera to my computer. In Ubuntu, the f-spot import dialog will appear automatically as soon as the camera is connected and switched on. There is a key in gconf-editor called "autophoto_command" which is set to "f-spot-import %h" to handle this event. I created a simple shellscript called "fspotimport.sh" with only one line: "TZ=UTC f-spot-import %h" and changed the "autophoto_command" key to "$HOME/bin/fspotimport.sh". Now, when I connect my camera and switch it on, a camera icon will appear on my desktop and F-Spot will open without the import dialog. When I want to start the import dialog manually, a popup window will appear which tells me, that f-spot cannot access the device exclusively. I first have to unmount the camera, then the import dialog will work as expected. How can I have f-spot-import started automatically with the timezone workaround when I connect my camera?
