under /run like there is for a usb flash disk. Given that there appears
to not be a mount point under /run, where is it mounted in Fedora 20, so
that I can point dolphin (which is what should be launched from the
'Open with File Manager' prompt, not Konqueror) at the mount point
rather than having to manually type Camera:/ into the address bar.

Thankyou for the links. I looked at those links which gave me a lot more information that I didn't know about. Unfortunately the documentation on libphoto2 seems to potentially be self conflicting. The list of cameras that libphoto2 supports seems to have my Nikon D3100 listed, but the list of cameras and how they are supported under Unix does not appear to list my camera. Following Cameron's email I checked the mount list which seems to indicate there is no mount point, which also coincides with the available device interface in the system tray not being able to unmount the camera before disconnection. Also now that I have changed to application preference order in the properties of the folder displayed by dolphin, whenever I select 'Open with File Manager' at device detection time the process correctly launched dolphin to display the contents, whereas yesterday when konqueror was the default application, manually pointing dolphin at Camera:/ would not display the contents of the camera because dolphin was trying to treat the camera as a usb device and couldn't acquire the usb. The only issue with dolphin is it doesn't display the folder name where the images are stored on the camera as the same name that the camera says it is, dolphin seems to be putting its own prefix on the folder name. Also dolphin seems to be starting at a higher point in the directory tree for its displays than where Windows starts. DigiKam now seems be displaying the files on the camera now as well, whereas yesterday it couldn't either, although digiKam doesn't understand the raw format files that I am taking with the camera. I could use jpeg images but that is not as good for image manipulation and corrections as raw is. I can process these files using the raw interface to Photoshop Elements and Elements itself, albeit under windows, so not being able to access these under Linux is not that big a deal to me, other than the fact that I have to use Windows.

regards,
Steve
