[digiKam-users] --> Import from iPhone 7 into MacOSX

[Alex Antão]

Hi, 

  I'm running MacOSX High Sierra.

  I want to start using digiKam and stop using Photos.

  But.... when I plug my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, digiKam does not recognize. Of course I can import to Photos, but digikam does not see it.

  I tried to add iPhone PTP generic, iPhone 5, iPad Air.... generic PTP camera... nothing works...

  How can I transfer my iPhone Photos to it ? 

thanks.

If you can transfer the images to a directory on your MacBook, you have two
options:
- transfer the images directly into a subdirectory of your Digikam collection
on the MacBook, and let Digikam find them.
- transfer your images to an intermediate directory and import from there into
Digikam.

Sorry, I don't know the (dis)advantages of those methods.

The problem is that on MacOSX the phone is not mounted. There's no folder DCIM i can access to copy the files. I think it's PTP the protocol.

I'd like something just like Photos, that recognizes my phone as soon as it's plugged, shows the photos I did not transfer yet and ignore the ones I've transfered. Jus like the import dialog that digiKam has does, but is not doing with my iPhone 7.

Have you tried digiKam's Import function?

I think it should work on MacOS.

You could probably use Image Capture instead. I understand it's scriptable, so you could start a script from within DigiKam to download to a defined folder.

macOS has a special application to import pictures from (nearly) any external camera or usb drive. I guess you are using a German UI? Then Hit cmd+Space and search for „Digitale Bilder.app“. This app allows you to import your iphone pictures into any folder of your Mac.

BTW: Digikam has a problem with „live fotos“ or videos. When I use my iPhone in a different time zone and import those, it will be imported as one photo and the live view video. Unfortunalely the videos seem to have a different time stamp, which often has exactly the difference to the home zone.

BTW: I am not using HEIC for compatibility reasons yet. So I don‘t know, if digikam already supports this format.
