Package: gtkam
Version: 0.1.12-2.2
Severity: normal

With a single camera plugged in over USB, gtkam auto-detects it on startup and allows normal use. When I select 'Rescan' from the 'Camera' menu, the following error dialogue box comes up;

"Could not get file list for folder '/'

An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is
already in use.".

After that, the drop-down arrow on the existing camera disappears, and any
attempt to use it yields the same error. Presumably it forgets which camera(s)
are already open and attempts to open the 'newly discovered' camera for
exclusive access a second time.

In the unlikely event that it's relevant, the camera is a Canon PowerShot A95.
