I've read the other responses to your question, and I don't think
it's possible to do what you want. If you notice, when you launch
Photoshop, it scans for input devices like scanners and of course,
your camera. If it detects a scanner, camera, etc., it loads the
necessary software to operate it. If you unplug the device and then
relaunch Photoshop, it again scans for input devices and since your
camera isn't plugged in, it won't detect it and won't load the
necessary software to run it.
Depending on the input device, I have found that hooking up and
turning on a scanner, then launching PhotoShop, the scanner will show
in the import menu. I can then turn off the scanner and unplug it
(leaving Photoshop open) and later plugin and turn the scanner back
on, and Photoshop will still recognize it.
You say that "If I unplug the camera and restart photoshop...."
Why do you need to restart Photoshop? Can't you just leave Photoshop
open and unplug the camera? Doing this will allow you to reconnect
the camera and import it's pictures into Photoshop.
