[Bug 89338] [Feisty] Creative Zen MicroPhoto detected as a camera

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

When I connect by Creative Zen MicroPhoto via a USB cable I was able to
open it in Konqueror but the url used was 'camera://Creative Zen
MicroPhoto@[usb:005,007]/' which was somewhat disconcerting.  Looking
further at it lshal reports this about the device:

The info.capabilities line shows it as a camera, however the device
doesn't function like a camera.  It can display photos similar to an
iPod photo / video but is primarily a music player.  Is there some way
to get this changed?
