Hi Rick - As a practical matter, I don't.  As you say it works, and I 
use it.

When I search the file structure for "/media",  it is not the same as 
the "/media" of the chip when it is in the camera.
That is why I bought a separate  interface gadget which is USB based.

This , by the way, is why it comes up in /dev/sda1 .

into what is going on.
Another way might be to change from KDE to Gnome.

Yep,  ISWYM.   But that can sometimes be a virtue when it is modern 
enough, and not the focus at the moment.

Thanks for all the replies.
