What is the official procedure to PERMANTLY DISABLING -without removing it- the autorun of this POS piece of software that automatically starts accesing my pen drive trying to index pictures?
I want to stop this, forever.
TIA

It used to be something in System>Prefs which allowed to manage removable devices... It seems that this has disappeared!
Install gconf-editor
Then in apps>nautilus>pref
untick: media_automount_open
tick: media_autorun_never
Previous tool was handy, that's why they have removed it...
Be careful with gconf editor, in case of mistake you could waste a lot of time to recover...

Thanks Francois!
Very much appreciated.
I had several thousand pics on each pen drive and the app started to index (or at least create thumbnails, or maybe only lists of files, who knows) slowing access from my photo editor to the pen drive to a crawl.
I realize now that USB really sucks for simultaneous file I/O on the same flash device... or at least with pen drives that surely have no optimization like SSDs...
