Description Collin Cutler 2023-06-01 16:55:53 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
When trying to add a camera, the camera list in the Camera Configuration window is empty. I can't figure out how to add my Sony camera. Previously, I've selected USB Disk in the import dropdown to select my camera. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Camera Settings
2. Press "+Add"
3. Camera list on left is empty

OBSERVED RESULT
The camera list is empty. I don't know if this is a permissions issue. 

EXPECTED RESULT
I expected to see a list of camera as shown in the Camera Settings page in the Digikam documentation. (https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/camera_settings.html#camera-settings)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS 
macOS: 11.7.7 Big Sur


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I try to select USB for Camera Port Option and guess the mount path, Digikam crashes when selecting the camera from import drop-down list.

Hi all,

The next digiKam 8.5.0 will be compiled natively for Apple Silicon computer (arm64 architecture).
Here the pre-release PKG installer list all gphoto2 drivers as expected:

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Move the gpohto2 drivers at the right place in the macOS bundle generated by Macports.

Tested on a fresh installation of digiKam on a macbook air M1 without macports, xcode, and other dev tools.

The list of gphoto2 camera can be listed and used.

This can be tested with the digiKam 8.5.0 pre-release PKG installer for Apple Silicon (arm64)
