I ran into a variation of this today with 0.7.2, although from reading the \
Changelogs, it can't see that it has been addressed in 0.8.0 either.

I wanted digikam to open automatically when I put my Compact Flash card in the card \
reader, using MandrivaLinux. 

First, I added a new "Camera" in Digikam, since it wasn't detected automatically. 

Then, I knew by editting "/etc/dynamic/user-scripts/digicam.script", I could have \
Mandriva launch whatever command I wanted when it determined a digital camera card \
was present. 

I thought "digikam --detect-camera" would be the right thing to open digikam to the \
import photos screen. 

Here's the bug: "--detect-camera" failed to detect my camera, although there was an \
entry for it under "Camera" which works perfectly. 

I think the solution is for "--detect-camera" to at least check the existing entries \
for a working USB mass storage option before it tries any fancier auto-detection. 

Thanks!
