After some searching around I found the HAL 0.4.0 specs
(http://people.redhat.com/davidz/hal-spec/hal-spec.html) offering all the
info needed to write my own policy:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="block.is_volume" bool="true">
<match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem">
<match key="info.parent"
string="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_KM_DYNAX_7D">
<merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point"
type="string">camera</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The line that makes it work for me is the <match key="info.parent" .. > which
is true when my camera (a dynax 7D) tries to create an mount point. The
result is a /media/camera which I can use in digikam to import photo's..

True, but the card is also not the cardreader..;-) Anyhow, for me this works
as it looks at the camera and not at the card..
Thanks for thinking along!
