Importing on a Mac

[Olli Lupton]

Hi all,

I am using digikam 5.2.0 (the official precompiled DMG) with macOS 10.12.1 Sierra. I am trying to import photos from an SD card (/Volumes/LUMIX/) using a builtin card reader.

Has anyone managed to get photo importing to work with 5.2.0 on a Mac? On the 'Import' menu there are three submenus (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwtItL1r6xBBRTczZEZnejNoMXc), but the 'USB Storage Devices' and 'Card Readers' options are both empty while the 'Cameras' one allows me to try and add a device manually (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwtItL1r6xBBSk5DdEdoa1FScW8). If I try to add it manually the dialog doesn't look like it does in the documentation (https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-setup.html#using-setup-camera), and my guess for how to populate it doesn't work (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwtItL1r6xBBYkUya1QyVXliaGM, https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwtItL1r6xBBVEF0VVJBUVE5Mzg).

Is there a way of fixing this, or do I just need to handle copying photos off the SD card outside digikam?

Thanks,

Olli

Copy outside digiKam. The Import tool cannot detect device currently due to limitation on KDE::Solid interface.

We need to find another way to handle SD cards under OSX.

Hi Gilles,

OK, thank you for the quick reply. Hopefully SD cards will be supported soon!

Thanks, Olli
