Why can’t Image Capture be set to open by default for cameras?

[devburke]

I’m running SL and iLife ’08. There don’t seem to be any preferences anywhere to tell Image Capture to open when I connect a camera (other than manually opening Image Capture and setting IC as the default for that specific camera), including the iPhoto preferences. The choices are either iPhoto or nothing. Also, IC is not listed under the setting in System Preferences as a program to open when you insert a photo CD (except under “Other”).

Try Cameras.

It's a free download and is an application which sits in your System Preferences.

Do you spend time quitting iPhoto every time you connect your iPhone?
Wish you could have your DSLR open Aperture and have iPhoto launch when you connect your point-and-shoot camera?
If so, Cameras is the solution you've been waiting for.
