I did not have gvfs-gphoto2 installed. After installing it I now see
the separate mount. Thanks for your help!
Let me try to summarize. Can you please correct me if I'm wrong:
- Before (Fedora 22) I didn't need this because a "generic mount" of the
phone was supported.
- Now (Fedora 24) I need gvfs-gphoto2 installed to access pictures on
the iphone.
I have a custom install so I don't know the answer to this question:
- Is gvfs-gphoto2 get installed by default?
So for my parents and their management of photos on their iPad I set
them up to use shotwell to auto import/backup their photos using the
libgphoto2 integration and that works pretty well too.
