PTP camera and thunar - camera icon missing have to manually access it

Any ideas why when I plug in my digital camera (USB) Thunar doesn't give me an icons?  I have to manually paste in "gphoto2://[usb:001,008]/DCIM" into the url area of thunar to access the thing.

# pacman -Qq | grep gvfs
gvfs
gvfs-gphoto2
gvfs-smb

# pacman -Qq | grep photo
gphoto2
gvfs-gphoto2
libgphoto2

Re: PTP camera and thunar - camera icon missing have to manually access it

I have the same problem with my Canon camera and it won't get mounted, either. Only Nautilus shows the device, but one still has to mount it.

The best solution I came up so far is a script called from Thunar Volume Manager (Camera tab):

$ cat digital-camera-mounting 
#!/bin/bash
CAMPORT=`gphoto2 --auto-detect | grep 'S2 IS' | cut -c 38- | sed 's/ //g'`
gvfs-mount "gphoto2://[usb:$CAMPORT]/"
gthumb
gvfs-mount --unmount-scheme gphoto2

This way I don't care Thunar shows my camera or not, I just want to import the photos.
