[Bug 1217230] [NEW] [Regression] Can't copy files from digital camera (Operation not supported by backend)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hello,

on Saucy I can't copy files from my digital camera to my PC anymore via
file manager. This is a serious regression since it worked on all
previous version of Ubuntu since Lucid at least (even earlier versions
not tested because I didn't own the camera at that time).

It is easy to reproduce:
- Start PC from USB stick with current Saucy daily live image
- Connect and turn on camera
- Open Nautilus, browse the files on the camera, select one of them and right-click -> copy
- Now when I try to paste the file into my home directory, I get an error dialog saying copying failed with the reason "Operation not supported by backend" (see attached screenshot)

I get the same error message if I try to copy the file on terminal with
the command gvfs-copy.

However, if I try to copy a file on terminal with the gphoto2 tool, e.g.
'gphoto2 --get-file 1', this works.

It also works if I copy files with cp in a terminal from gvfs-mountpoint
mounted at /run/user/my_userid/gvfs/my_camera_mountpoint .

Kind regards,
Jan
