Using multi-purpose devices

[David Zeuthen]

Hi,

It sounds a gnome-volume-manager bug since info.capabilities should
contain both 'camera' and 'portable_audio_player'. Can you provide a
dump of lshal with the phone plugged in?

Thanks,
David

From now on, gnome-volume-manager would not ask me to import photos but rather start my music management application (banshee in this case). Naturally, this is nice, too - but I miss the functionality of importing photos. Disabling the fdi entry in question brings back the photo importing, but naturally my phone is not usable as a mass storage media player in banshee anymore.

Can this be done by editing the .fdi (my guess was to edit the K750i media player entry to also include some other info but I didn't get it working that way, but perhaps I just did something wrong?) Would be nice if someone could comment and perhaps point me to the changes I have to make. Thanks.
