Bug#715436: nautilus: can't copy photo from gphoto2 backend 'Operation not supported by backend'

[marc poulhies]

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.4.2-1+build1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * I'm trying to download picture from my Canon EOS 500D through USB by using nautilus.
   * I can browse directories and see pictures (thumbnails) in nautilus, but when I try to copy them (within the same directory or somewhere else), I get a "Operation not supported by backend"
   * If I eject the camera and use gphoto2 command line tool (gphoto2 -P) everything works fine.

URLs within nautlius seems correct:
gphoto2://[usb:008,052]/DCIM/100CANON/IMG_8325.JPG 

It was working fine until few days ago but I'm not sure exactly what changed.

I can delete pictures from the camera and nautlius is able to create the thumbnails...
I am considering trying the experimental packages of nautlius & friends, but would like to get feedback from you before possibly breaking my installation...
