[Bug 1462504] [NEW] find does not find camera files for normal user

 

Public bug reported:

I made a script to find an process files in a USB connected camera. A key part of it is "find  -name *.JPG", where $me contains the numeric user id. My user is created as an admin user by the user created during OS install.
But when this script is run by a normal user, find doesn't, i.e. no data returned. Nautilus pops up as usual when the camera is connected and switched on, "ls /run/user/$me/gvfs/......" with an explicit path also works. So my workaround is an ugly three layer for loop that uses ls instead.

Have not found any information on this problem on the 'net.
