What about a small application that imports photos (or videos, etc.)
from cameras, which apart from simply copying over the files also
deciphers the information from the DCIM folder and inserts the
relevant things into Tracker? The file copying part is already done by
gthumb-importer, etc., but not the second part.

I don't think it is a good idea to have a 'camera importer' inbuilt in
Solang. We used to have this earlier, but it is much better to have a
stand alone application (not tied to a particular photo manager) that
benefits the entire desktop.

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
