Thankyou for the links. I looked at those links which gave me a lot more 
information that I didn't know about. Unfortunately the documentation on 
libphoto2 seems to potentially be self conflicting. The list of cameras 
that libphoto2 supports seems to have my Nikon D3100 listed, but the 
list of cameras and how they are supported under Unix does not appear to 
list my camera.
Following Cameron's email I checked the mount list which seems to 
indicate there is no mount point, which also coincides with the 
available device interface in the system tray not being able to unmount 
the camera before disconnection.
Also now that I have changed to application preference order in the 
properties of the folder displayed by dolphin, whenever I select 'Open 
with File Manager' at device detection time the process correctly 
launched dolphin to display the contents, whereas yesterday when 
konqueror was the default application, manually pointing dolphin at 
Camera:/ would not display the contents of the camera because dolphin 
was trying to treat the camera as a usb device and couldn't acquire the 
usb. The only issue with dolphin is it doesn't display the folder name 
where the images are stored on the camera as the same name that the 
camera says it is, dolphin seems to be putting its own prefix on the 
folder name.
Also dolphin seems to be starting at a higher point in the directory 
tree for its displays than where Windows starts.
DigiKam now seems be displaying the files on the camera now as well, 
whereas yesterday it couldn't either, although digiKam doesn't 
understand the raw format files that I am taking with the camera. I 
could use jpeg images but that is not as good for image manipulation and 
corrections as raw is. I can process these files using the raw interface 
to Photoshop Elements and Elements itself, albeit under windows, so not 
being able to access these under Linux is not that big a deal to me, 
other than the fact that I have to use Windows.

regards,
Steve
