   File Menu
       File->Save Photos
              Gives options to save photos to the computer.

              File->Save Photos->Selected
                     Saves   the  selected  photos  from  the  camera  to  the
                     computer.

              File->Save Photos->All
                     Saves all photos in the camera to the computer.

       Both menu items open a "Save photos..." dialog  box  which  allows  the
       user to select the folder to save the images in, as well as a number of
       other options.

              What to save:

                     This is a set of checkboxes  which  allows  the  user  to
                     select  the forms in which data for the selected image(s)
                     will be saved.  Any  or  all  of  these  options  may  be
                     selected at once.

                     Save photos
                             This is the default. It causes the  photos  being
                             saved  to be downloaded from the camera and saved
                             to the identified folder.

                     Save raw data

                     Save audio data
                             Causes any audio data associated with  the  image
                             to be saved to the selected folder.

                     Save thumbnails
                             Saves  a  small version of the selected images to
                             the identified folder.

                     Save EXIF data
                             Saves the EXIF data associated with the images.

                             FIXME: should we say more about the EXIF  format?

              Open image(s) with:
                     This allows the user to specify FIXME ??

              Use filename(s) provided by the camera.
                     Causes  the saved files to have the names provided by the
                     camera.

              Filename prefix:
                     Defines a prefix to be used when creating filenames. This
                     prefix  is  combined  with  the  number starting with the
                     number defined in:

              Start numbering with:
                     Defines the first number of the sequence of photos to  be
                     stored.

       File->Delete Photos
              Gives options to delete photos from the camera.

              File->Delete Photos->Selected

              File->Delete Photos->All
                     Deletes all photos in the camera.

              Both  of  these menu items open a dialog to confirm the deletion
              of the photos. A list of photos is  presented  with  a  checkbox
              beside  each  photo  name. Uncheck the box to prevent a specific
              file from being deleted.

       camera.

       View->View Thumbnails
              This is the same command as  the  checkbox  on  the  main  gtkam
              window.  It  allows the user to select whether thumbnails of the
              photos are displayed, or just the file names.

       Select->Inverse
              Inverts  the  selections  already  made   so   that   previously
              unselected  images  are  now  selected,  and previously selected
              images are now unselected.

              Data   Causes the logging of all data being transferred from the
