Description James Olson 2018-09-25 16:51:33 UTC

SUMMARY
iPhone 8Plus detected, but being told Failed to connect to the camera. Clicking the Retry button on the camera window spits out
QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null action
to the tty used to start digitkam. Full text sent to that window is pasted below.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect iPhone via USB. Becomes visible to lsusb
2. Start DigiKam from an xterm. It auto-recognizes the phone is there.
3. Go to Import menu, click. Menu has an item for the iPhone. Click that.
4. Camera window appears. Get error message that 'camera' failed to connect. Huh? Some comms occurred for it to appear in the menu in the first place.
5. Click the Retry button in the window. Nothing happens. Frustrating.
6. Grabbed stdout/stderr output sent to the window.

OBSERVED RESULT
App says Failed to connect to Camera, in a red banner that runs across bottom of camera window. This is in spite of the app actually detecting the phone (which requires a working connection) and putting the phone in its import menu.

EXPECTED RESULT
No error. App should load images sitting on Camera.
Retry button should do something and not generate a QT error.

SOFTWARE VERSIONS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version: qt-4.8.7-32.fc27.x86_64

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Using a Fedora 27 workstation install on a Dell D630 laptop with 6GB RAM. Only major app running. SWAP not being used. Versions of KDE and components will be current as of today.

Please move this bug to the proper queue/component.

Have you unlocked after connecting USB your iPhone and allowed the access? Then start the import under digiKam.

Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2023-10-12 05:36:15 UTC

James,

What's about this file using current 8.2.0 AppImage Linux bundle ? It's
reproducible ?

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Note: bundle is now based on Qt 5.15.11 and KDE framework 5.110.

Thanks in advance

Gilles Caulier
