Using multi-purpose devices

Well, the memory stick was right because this actually *is* a memory stick drive inside the phone. Not nautilus displays a generic DAP device, which is... well, not really fitting. I think using mobile phones as both a camera and a music player is very common, so what about introducing a new device type "mobile_phone" or something like that to allow nautilus to display a phone icon? Would this be a simple change or do other packages (beside the actual icon in the icon theme) need patching, too? Should I file a HAL bug for this?

Yes, there is a DCIM folder.

Filed as # 345335.
