... The alternative is to keep the GUI. It is useful in the case where there's many pictures on the camera, and the user just want to import a few of them. We would need to:
- modify the GUI to fix the crash
- do not automatically generate download thumbnails, but rather,
present the user with the options to download thumbnails, or just go ahead and import all pictures
- perhaps add a winecfg option to turn off the GUI
Rather than remove all that nearly-working code, how about keeping it, adding the winecfg option, and making it default to off for now? (i.e. leave fixing the bug for later.) That should be a smaller, less violent patch... - Dan

That option is much too specific to go in winecfg, it's something most users don't care about. What you could do though is have a "don't show this dialog again" option in the dialog itself.

Would that setting be persistant? If so, wouldn't we want a way to flip that option back later? Winecfg is the logical place for that.
winecfg is our control panel. (It should be exploded into control panel applets, IMHO, but that's another matter.) Most users don't care about 95% of the stuff in the Windows control panel, but those controls have to be there for the 5% that do. - Dan

It would be persistent in the registry, so regedit could be used to reset it.
