Hi,

I did some UTSL and found out that thunar-volman threats all storage
devices without a "dcim" directory (Canon cameras store their photos
there) as a music player. The result of the HAL query for the
"portable_audio_player" capability is not used in the end. Is this
intended, or is it a bug?

Regards,
Tino
