Description John Salatas 2016-10-06 04:35:17 UTC

Same thing happens with Canon EOS Rebel SL1 digital camera and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone.

I connect the camera to the PC through usb. 

Using the gphoto2 command line interface as described at http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/using-gphoto2.html I can see the camera, the files it contains and I can download these files in my PC (see attached file named "gphoto2"). 

Running digikam and selecting Import -> Cameras -> (my camera name) nothing happens (not even an error message). In the console I'm getting the output shown in the attachment named "digikam". 


Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Jeremy Lainé 2016-10-09 18:56:38 UTC

I have the same behaviour with an EOS 5D Mark II. What's odd is that I am sure it worked in previous releases (though not the last 4.x releases).

Comment 4 Maik Qualmann 2016-10-13 19:38:20 UTC

I have reviewed the corresponding code. But no mistake found. It works here with the most diverse devices without problems. I will add some additional debug output for digiKam-5.3.0. Please upload then the console messages of digiKam-5.3.0 here.

Comment 6 John Salatas 2016-10-13 20:38:21 UTC

I just tried it in KDE Neon developer stable and it works (for my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone). 
Is this helpful? If not I could try to build digikam with the latest code in git in KDE Neon user edition

Comment 7 John Salatas 2016-10-13 21:03:07 UTC

Yeap! I can confirm that compiling digikam 5.3.0 from git (as of 20161013) in kde neon user, seems to fix the problem (see attached log).

Comment 9 Maik Qualmann 2016-10-14 06:02:53 UTC

Gilles,
I think we can close this bug. It will be related to the changes to detect the gPhoto2 packages.

Ah. Something is wrong in the new simplified cmake script to detect Gphoto2 library ?

No! :)

Everything is ok now with the latest code in git. Version 5.2.0 was broken :)
