I am in Xubuntu 12.10 and Thunar doesn't access the camera memory (Canon) so as to just copy/paste the pictures.

I want to import the pictures onto the PC.

I heard about F-spot and rapid-photo-downloader - but what I read on them were rather old articles. Are they the thing?

Shotwell Install Shotwelldoes very well what is asked.

Just connect the camera and start it (without mounting it), and run Shotwell . It will try to access the pictures.

In this way the camera contents are visible. Selecting some or all of them you can then right-click import them into ~/Pictures/Year/Month_etc/

enter image description here

After that the program will offer to delete the pictures on the camera.

Pictures are stored in multiple directory levels, according to year, month, day, but this is customizable - under 'Edit/Preferences' - Importing: Directory structure.
