Hi Paul, Personally, I find F-Spot to be annoying. I don't want a timeline, or a history, or an album ... if I want that stuff, I'll create it later. Prior to Ubuntu 8.04 the photo import utility was called 'gthumb' and you can install this using Synaptic if you like. gThumb can pop up, grab your photos, dump them in a folder with today's date, and then delete them from your camera. To make this work automatically you have to change the "Photos" action from Fspot back to gThumb. Go to Nautilus (file browser), click edit then preferences. Click the media tab. Change photos to 'other application' and then 'use custom command'. For the command type: gthumb --import-photos Once this is done, each time you connect your camera you should get gThumb coming up, instead of F-Spot!
