Agreed on Rhythmbox.  Not so much on GThumb.  AFAICT, it displays the images 
as though cataloged...and then as soon as I remove the SD card or unplug the 
camera, it's all undone again.  It doesn't make any sense to me.

Seeing as that's optional, yes you did.  I find the copying useful since 
well...if it didn't copy them, it'd be like GThumb, pretending to organize my 
camera (not actually changing the filesystem by the way, just pretending) and 
not getting the images onto the computer.  You'd have to manually copy all the 
images from the camera to the hard drive, then run GThumb/F-Spot.  In that 
case, why are they set to start when a camera is plugged in or an SD card 
inserted?  They'd be rather useless for the "getting stuff of the camera" 
usecase (the usecase implied by their autolaunching).

Several of my classmates have asked me about it, since the linking between 
notes is quite useful for taking notes in class.
