SD cards but not for USB sticks with images.

the detection GNOME is doing is done on the content of the device, if it
find folders like "dcim" or "pictures" it will list it as containing
photos since most cameras structure their storage this way

Title:
  Always showing "Open Shotwell" button for SD Card storage can be
  harmful

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In bug #771757, the following is reported:

  "Using an Android device, Shotwell scans the entire directory for pictures. It also picks up pictures used by apps. Whereas it should only pick up pictures taken by the camera and sent by bluetooth.
  (...)
  As it is right now, Shotwell can pick up and remove pictures from the device which damage or make unusable applications on the phone. Requiring a reinstall of the application."

  Nautilus always shows the "Open Shotwell" button for such storage.
  Currently this leads to the problem because of Shotwell's behavior.

  However, even when this is fixed in gPhoto/Shotwell, the question
  remains whether it is the right choice for Nautilus to assume that any
  inserted SD Card containing images must be suitable for
  viewing/including in Shotwell. As we can see from bug #771757, this is
  increasingly questionable with the increase of Android devices and
  similar.
