Bug 431107

The menu items for importing are only active in the Album View (left sidebar Album tab).

It is possible that the card reader is not recognized by our Solid components that we use in the background for these things. Unfortunately, Solid does not fully support platforms other than Linux. So far I haven't had any problems with USB devices and card readers under Windows. The DebugView output may help us when digiKam is running and you plug in a card reader.

Thanks for your comment. I disconnected the card reader after digicam was launched and reconnected it again. Now, the option to import from usb card reader is working. It would be really nice, if i don't have to disconnect my card reader after digikam was started?! Maybe there could be an initial search on card readers if digicam is started?

Hmm, digiKam is already looking for a card reader at the start. If you now close digiKam and restart it, is the card reader not available?

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.

*** Bug 433588 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Confirmed that the card reader is not presenting inserted media if opened prior to digiKam. Inserting and removing SDCard into reader has no effect. However, removing and re-inserting the card reader while digiKam is open, the SD Card volume does appear in the import from memory card list. 

This behavior is only associated with my memory card reader. Other connected volumes (SDDs, etc) are reading fine upon opening of digiKam.

There is a new hardware dialog under "Help". The devices and drives that we can recognize via the Solid framework are listed there. In the event of an error, is the drive in the list?

Maik

This hardware dialog is only available in the release candidate of digiKam-7.2.0.

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

Maik

I downloaded 7.2.0 and it's working fine.  The SDcard volume is detected when opening digiKam as I expect it to.

So the problem is solved with digiKam-7.2.0?

> So the problem is solved with digiKam-7.2.0?

I can only confirm that my problem, which you merged with this one as a duplicate, was solved with the update to RC 7.2.0. 

1.  7.1.0 --> Wasn't seeing my SDcard in the card reader unless I unplugged and re-plugged in the card reader. 

2. Updated to 7.2.0 per your response

3. It's been reading my SDCard fine and I haven't had to unplug the reader to get it to work. I have removed and re-inserted the SDcard several times and it continues to read it.
