Don’t fancy digiKam’s default splash screen? No problem, you can easily replace it with your own photo. First off, you need to prepare your own photo for use in the splash screen.
Don’t fancy digiKam’s default splash screen? No problem, you can easily replace it with your own photo. First off, you need to prepare your own photo for use in the splash screen. To do this, use an image editing application like the GIMP to resize the photo you want to 500×307 pixels. Save the resized image in the PNG format. Next, grab the splash-digikam.svgz file from digiKam’s source code repository and open the downloaded file in the Inkscape vector graphics editor.
for my camera. Problem is I completely removed F-Spot and any other GNOME oriented camera related application. So when I plug the camera in the pop up displays a no available application message. In addition there is no way to select any other application, not even the ability to select 'open Folder'.
Various Ubuntu and Mint forum messages give instructions like this
Quoting:Go to System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media
select the Cameras TAB. Done.
I change my command to:
digikam --download-from %m
for setting the default camera application. Only problem is, I can't find such a menu entry (Removable Drives and Media) on any of my Ubuntu or Mint installs.
So in the end what I did was install gThumb, plugged my camera in, selected 'Open with other application' from the drop down list (which is now available), added 'digikam --download-from %m' in the 'Use custom command' box, then uninstalled gThumb.
Now every time I plug in my camera I'm offered digiKam as the default application to download photos with.

I see also that the entries are from around 2005, So I'm assuming that Canonical in their wisdom? removed that option in later releases of Ubuntu.
The point of the original thread I referenced is that the GUI tool can be a mixed bag. I recently shared this outlook when trying to associate video files w/ VLC as opposed to Totem (better subtitle handling in VLC). It took a while to make the association stick w/ the GUI.
