new camera fuji 2950 importing not automatic

[Garthhh]

I'm on ubuntu 10.10, 

picasa 3.0

the camera is detected as a usb device

clicking on in the import tab, doesn't open up the pictures

I can move the files into a folder & import as normal

any suggestions for removing the extra steps

the files are nested inside a couple of folders

Have the same problem with Fuji S2950 and Mepis 11 Picasa 3.0 or Picasa 3.8. 
I can import just fine with Digicam no problem detects the camera and puts them
in the appropriate folders as set in the configuration for Digacam.

I also own a Fuji S9000 and have no problem with Picasa detecting the camera
and importing the pictures.  Only difference I can see between the two cameras is
the Fuji S2950 is reported by the system as a USB PTP(Picture Transfer Protocol)  class camera
and the Fuji S9000 is reported as a Mass Storage Camera.

So if anyone comes up with a solution for Picasa, I would be interested other wise the only
solution to the problem is to import with another application unfortunately

I do it the easy -- for me, anyway -- way. Last time I tried uploading
directly from the camera it took forever and was more work than my
current method. Slackware users work harder :-)

Iake the SD card out, insert it into the reader, and execute canon3:

mount /dev/sdd1 /sdd1
cp /sdd1/DCIM/10*/* /canon/new/
umount /sdd1
jhead -nf%Y%m%d-%H%M%S /canon/new/*.JPG
jhead -ft *.jpg
cd /canon/new

I then look at them with xv and toss the garbage. The rest I copy to my
canon.orig series of subdirectories. I edit with picasa and export to
/new/, from which I choose what to upload.

Then I move /new/*.jpg to my /canon/good subdirectory and delete the
stuff in /canon/new.

I want to organize my stuff myself, not trust something else to do it
right :-)
