I have to look into that. I was not aware of it.

But as far as I can tell there are no image-related apps in that list you shared in your number 2 link?

Oh, good point. In my first screenshot, the iPhone shows up twice in the leftmost list - the first with your apps and the second with photos from camera roll.

I wouldn't use Nautilus to import photos, though - I'd use something like digiKam (1 - showing my connected iPhone).

The first time you connect your iPhone, it'll ask if you want to 'Trust this computer'. After trusting, you need to run 'idevicepair pair' (2) in the terminal to pair. Then your iPhone (or iPad) will show up in Nautilus.

One use case: Infuse is my iOS video player, and copying movies or serials over is as simple as connecting the iPad or iPhone and copying to Infuse's storage. It copies at 20-30 MBs/sec, which is plenty fast.

I had not even thought about the ability to connect my iPhone with my Ubuntu machine. But it seems like I need to look a bit more into the possibilities.

I already use digiKam for my photography workflow. It is really awesome for managing photos, adding tags etc.

For importing photos I actually use Rapid Photo Downloader in order to import photos into "date-ordered" folders. So if I can get Ubuntu to recognise my iPhone then I can probably use the same to import photos from my phone if I ever need that ability.
