SUMMARY

I have posted on a discuss.kde.org thread here

https://discuss.kde.org/t/cant-import-from-pixel-on-windows/13176/3

Looking at the documentation

https://docs.digikam.org/en/supported_materials/camera_devices.html
https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/camera_settings.html
http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php

I gather that there should be some capacity for digikam to detect my Pixel 7 connected in PTP mode as a camera. But I do not have the "Auto-Detect" button pictured in the screenshot on the camera settings documentation page. Nor have I have anywhere in the UI with the list of supported cameras shown on both the camera devices and camera settings documentation pages.

The gphoto supported cameras link lists the Pixel as supported. Are windows users expected to compile and install gphoto themselves? The "Component" field here in Bugzilla having a selection for "Import-WIA" implies to me that digikam does not use gphoto on Windows. But I know for certain that the Windows WIA PTP system recognizes my phone as a camera when connected in PTP mode it presents with a camera icon in Windows Explorer and in MS Photos.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install digikam 8.4.0 on Windows 11
2. Connect Pixel 7 phone via USB and set it to PTP mode
3. Open digikam
4. Select "Import > Cameras" observe list is empty
5. Select "Add Camera Manually"
6. Observer there is no "Auto-Detect" button
7. Supply value in Name field, select USB connection, haven't found any docs on what to put under mount so leave it as default and save
8. Select "Import > Pixel 7" and import dialog shows an error.
