I connected a Nikon D70 to my mythtv box today, and to my surprise I got a GUI prompt to import my photos. I have no idea where they went though.

Suggestions?

My first guess would be the /myth/gallery directory...

That, although logical, does not seem to be the case. I tried "find"ing for them and if they got copied over, the names where changed.

Any idea how to find out what app is producing that prompt? I could start researching if I knew what I was interacting with.

Interesting, I didn't know KM did the auto-import thing, so I too plugged my camera in, and was prompted to import the pictures. But like the OP indicated, where do they go?

I looked in /myth/gallery and only found my existing photos there, not the new ones supposedly imported in. I'm thinking that maybe it's not importing automatically.

I did go into the gallery setup, and noticed that I could import pictures from there too. I didn't give this a go, as it is, I am late for a meeting now, and will have to try after I return from my meeting.

If you get a normal gray style dialog, I'm guessing it's something to do with the Gnome automounting utilities, a similar thing is seen if you put in a blank DVD.
If you want to make sure your pictures end up in myth/gallery, I think you need to use the Picture import from within MythTV itself.

I'm with Bruce. On my R5D1 + 0.20 I get no prompt at all, however lsusb shows
Perhaps the initial pop-up is displayed over the MythTV menu, but the subsequent prompts are "behind" the menu? If you stop mythfrontend and plugin the camera, what happens?

Oh my, the gnome-volume manager thingee isn't importing from them, it's mounting them, probably as a USB drive. See the upgrade hiints posting for the details of where the device will show up in the files system while it's plugged in. Or just run "mount" and look for the new device.

Notice the /media/usbdisk at the end.
