That's normal -- and a new feature.

Actually the application has always been there but it's been kind of hidden.

It's primary purpose is to let you tell the driver what kind of 
camera you have if it's one of the ones we can't dell apart from 
software (Divio chip set), but it also lets you change the name of 
your cameras as displayed in the Video Settings dialog -- i.e. so you 
can name them "FishCam" and "CoffeeCam" if you like.

The popup lets you select the camera to to configure and clicking 
"Save" does save the name (but there's no feedback).

If you had a Divio-based camera, there would be a second popup for 
you to identify the camera model as well -- and the camera will not 
be recognized until you do.

We plan to have the Camera Identifier launched automatically whenever 
an unrecognized camera is attached, but that's a bit of work, so we 
thought is was safer to have the installer open it than have to 
answer "why doesn't the driver seem by camera?"

At some point, I'd rather have something more like a Device Manager 
that gives you manage assorted pieces of removable hardware that you 
own.

I'd definitely be interested in suggestions on how to do the UI better.
