Yeah, I know. When Mass Storage worked, it was much more convenient
than having to start some program to import hte files from PTP
to the system.

Yep. That's the way it used to be :) But with PTP I had
other kinds of problems.

Well, instead of using PTP, I rather mount the camera by
hand. Much more convient, IMO.

Thanks for the tip, though. But instead of the PTP
workaround, I'll use the manual-mount workaround. Or
maybe autofs.
