Useful OSX Utility: Cameras

alan • 9th Jul 2009 • Technical, by Alan

One small problem with OSX is that it does the same thing every time you plug in any camera — starting Aperture, for example. The trouble is, while that may be sensible when you’re plugging in your main camera, it’s a pain when connecting up your iPhone.

Cameras, a free preference pane from Flexibits, sorts out this problem. It allows the action taken on connection to be set per-device.

It’s working perfectly here, and fixes one of my longstanding frustrations with OSX. With it, attaching the various devices I have that take photos now Just Works.
