This has been quite a lot of work, mostly due to lack of documentation and the
need to look at the code to get to know how we are supposed to do things, but
it works for me now.
The Device Notifier Plasma applet will show "2 actions for device", and will
popup a dialog where digikam can be chosen. The device is specified by UDI and
digikam will detect what to do with this.

I did not test this with a gphoto2 camera, so if you have such a device please
give it a try.

The load-with-digikam action will be offered for all USB storage devices as I
do not know how to distinguish USB mass storage cameras from USB sticks or USB
hard disks. In fact I think these are technically the same, and the only thing
we could do is use a white list with manufacturers' names. In digikam's menus
we offer all USB mass storage devices as well.
Any comments or ideas are welcome.
