Ditto. I typically mount the memory stick, copy the photos off via cp(1),
and use tools like jhead, ImageMagick and The Gimp to do what I need to do
to the JPEG files. I'm perfectly happy with that approach. In fact, I
*like* the idea that I can just cp(1) the files off my camera. It appeals
my Unix sensibilities.
