Hi ppr,

> With shotwell, you can't umount camera after import. Is it safe ?

In most Linux distributions (including Fedora and Ubuntu), cameras are
mounted as filesystems when they're connected. Shotwell can't access a
camera when it's mounted as a filesystem, so when you do an import
preview or an import, Shotwell unmounts the camera (after prompting
the user to see whether this action is okay). So after the import
interaction is complete, the camera should already be unmounted as a
filesystem, and you can therefore disconnect it from your computer
safely. If you need to remount the camera, however, I'd recommend not
using the mount & umount commands but instead simply unplug the camera
and plug it back it.

Regards,
Lucas
