[Shotwell] UI suggestion - sizes of storage

[Jim Nelson]

Hi Vadim,

You bring up an interesting point.  Half of this is solved (in trunk).
Shotwell now displays the appropriate icon for a camera:
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2877

Regarding the storage size, Shotwell uses the text label from gphoto2, which
returns (when it recognizes the camera) a manufacturer name and model
number.  I think it makes sense to display this whenever possible.  However,
you're right, when that's not available, something more descriptive makes
sense.  I've ticketed here: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3060
