Description William 2017-05-18 11:19:34 UTC
I am trying to import photos from digital camera on Windows 10. The feature does not work due to the fact that the camera is not detected by digiKam. I see it works with gPhoto2, which is a Linux application. Will it be possible to do this in MS Windows? If not, it would be better to only have this feature available when the OS is Linux based. Rather hide it in MS Windows than "creating futile hope".

Good news : the last stable libgphoto2 2.5.18 cross compile file with MXE for windows target. So i will include the library in next installer and recompile whole digiKam with gphoto2 support.

Git commit cdee9fb951c3f1b3aa354535174eb7c232a241eb by Gilles Caulier.

Solid info dialog: add new tab with hotplug device events.
With this kind of tool, we can idenitfy quickly which device with properties is plug/unplug and detected by Solid framework.
As exemple, in this screenshoot, see my Iphone 7 connected and disconnected from USB port: https://i.imgur.com/dfL1Grs.png
Of course, if nothing happen in this view, this want mean that device is not recognized at all from Solid framework,
and end-user need to report this problem to Solid team.
