Disabling Auto Start on Cart Insert

[julian]

So — I appreciate that Photo Mechanic assumes I might want to use it for image ingest — but suppose I don't? Right now, every time I insert my CF card, PM starts up. Is there a way to disable this? Preferences allows me to "Do Nothing" on mount of camera disk, but the program does start up.

I thought it might be a folder action (I'm in 10.6 OSX) — but I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

Open up the Image Capture application.  Open its Preferences dialog.  Change the 'Camera: When a camera is connected, open:' popup menu to 'No application'

That should do it.

Awesome — thanks. Easy-peasy.
