Version: (using KDE 4.2.90) Installed from: SuSE RPMs digiKam Version 1.0.0-beta1 Using KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2)) "release 139" For some reason, digikam will not connect to our old Kodak CX7300 camera in KDE4. I have used this camera 100s of times with digikam on kde3 and I have never had any problems. After upgrading to kde4, I can no longer connect. After configuring digikam with the correct camera model .. and .. also letting digikam "Auto Detect" the camera, the download pictures window just appears and sits there. It never changes. See the following screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/digikam-cannot-connect.jpeg Something is messed up. Let me know if I can provide additional information

Can be relevant of libgphoto2 issue. But, to be sure, try current code from svn (beta2) where an infinite loop have been fixed to list item from icon view. Best Gilles Caulier
Is the camera, when plugged in, available from "Import -> Cameras (auto-detected)"? Same behavior when opening from the entry? Please post the console output of digikam while you try to connect to your camera. Ensure debug code 50003 is enabled using kdebugdialog.
New digiKam 4.11.0 is available. https://www.digikam.org/node/740 Can you reproduce the problem with this release ? Gilles Caulier
With digiKam 5.0.0, this problem is not reproducible. I close this file now. Don't hesitate to re-open if necessary. Gilles Caulier
