| So I plugged my camera into the Mac with the intent of uploading to flickr the last 6 photos that I'd just taken. As soon as I plug it in, iPhoto opens up, and offers to import my photos. All 1937 of them. No option to select which ones I want to upload. I curse it a few times, then decide that I will probably have to do this only once, and the next time it will remember where it last stopped, so I import all 1937 photos, and then upload the last six. I then go around and take some more photos, and come back to import the last four that I've just taken. Except that iPhoto has forgotten that it just imported all these pics, and now wants to import 1941 photos. This time I decide that I should figure out how to load up the camera as a USB drive and just copy the files across. Except, it's not possible. Finally, someone else around here puts my SD card into his camera, switches his camera to USB drive mode, and plugs it into my Mac, which then loads the camera as a USB drive. This just sucks. When I plug my camera into my linux box, it pops up gThumb, which lets me choose what to import. If I ever want to browse my camera as if it were a USB drive, I can just use the gphoto interface to do that.So, for loading photos from my Canon SD630 at least, linux has better usability than the Mac. | ||||||||
