Digikam does cannot find camera

Hi All,

I am new user of digikam. I just installed Version 3.1.0, Using KDE Development Platform 4.10.2. on Windows 7 ( I know... not the best OS but this is what I have).

I connected a Nikon D5000 via USB. Windows does recognize it. I go to DigiKam > Import > Cameras > NikonD500 (I created this entry) I get "Failed to connect to camera"
The nikon D500 entry has:
Camera Port type: USB

Tried without/with setting the mount path (I know it is not applicable) but nothing.
Tried using the memory card into but it cannot get read the images (I can read the images from windows though)

I found in google few bugs for unix but nothing in windows.

Thanks for your help!

I think the issue here is that you camera is being mounted as a storage
device rather than a camera.

When connecting, don't select "Open in folder" view (I think that is
what it is called). Tell Windows to mount as a camera and point to
digikam, or don't do anything then try and mount via digikam.

resending it as my previous response got stuck due to the size. I
attached screenshots and I got a reply:

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

Message body is too big: 413695 bytes with a limit of 80 KB

So here is what I said:

When I connect the camera I choose no options (just close the pop up
window). When I check in file manager the camera shows up under "Devices
and Printer" and not under "Storage" or "Hard Drives"

I tried also with a Nikon D70 with same results. Only difference is the
autoplay window. In Nikon D70 it pops up the default autoplayer asking
how to open it. With nikon D5000 I get a Nikon window with same purpose
(asking what to do with it).

In both cases it does not allow me to open it using digiKam.. Only
options are Dropbox and Windows default.

Thanks

If you are in digikam can you access the camera?

Personally I don't have a Windows version of digiKam running as it is a
KDE package but even on Ubuntu it does not appear in the list of
packages to use when the camera is plugged in. If I want digiKam to see
the camera I open digiKam and attempt to connect from the menu.

On my machine however I have never actually got this working properly. I
connect the camera as a USB storage device and copy the files to the
directory I want under the main album. DigiKam rescans its albums every
time you open it so all these images are sucked in quite quickly.

I am pretty sure that camera auto-detection does not yet work in
digiKam on Windows.

Can one of the developers comment please?

Camera auto-detection use :

- Gphoto2 for non UMS device : Gphoto2 is not available on Windows.
- KDE::Solid interface (http://solid.kde.org/) which still under
development under Windows (don't know the status)
