Yeah, that's a good point.  Maybe the USB device shouldn't get the
camera capability if it's a block-device-capable camera?  I don't know
how that'd work out exactly.

True, but I think you have this problem anyway, and the only real way to
solve it is with fdi files, since you don't get information on whether
it's a camera, card reader, whatever from the device itself.  And in
those cases where that info's not available you probably just have to
assume a lame generic removable storage icon.

I do really like the idea of a photos emblem, though, as mentioned in
another email.
