------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2005-18-11 10:41 ------- Three notes:
1. 20050830 is ancient. Please retest with the current release, 0.9.1.
2. Regardless of whether the USB drive is mounted properly or recognized by the app, Wine should not be exhibiting the problem in Clay's comment #1.
3. We want Wine/Linux to reproduce the user experience of Windows here. When run on a Linux distro that automounts USB drives and notifies apps of the event (say, using DBUS), Picasa on Wine should faithfully notice the event and show the pictures on the USB drive in the import window. On Linux, apps like gnome-volume-manager are how automounting and the like are handled. Clay, you might want to verify that gnome-volume-manager is installed and that the USB drive shows up on your desktop when you insert the drive. If it doesn't, you may need to find an Ubuntu box to test on. (Not sure ubuntu 04.10 is new enough to have gnome volume manager, but the later versions have it.)
