When connecting a ptp based camera (tested so far Canon Powershot 540, 570 IS, S100; EOS 400D) I don't see it in dolphin or gwenview, but I am able to download the pictures with digikam. I'm also able to browse the files running dolphin as root. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect ptp camera 2. open "camera:/" in dolphin 3. Actual Results: empty window Expected Results: I should be able to browse the files Maybe related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326079 Powershot A570 IS as example: # lsusb Bus 004 Device 010: ID 04a9:314c Canon, Inc. # cat /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2-6.rules | grep 314c ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="314c", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1", ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="proprietary", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev" I'm in the group "plugdev": $ groups tobias adm dialout cdrom plugdev netdev lpadmin admin sambashare vboxusers
This is puzzling, as digikam works as user, so should dolphin camera:/ as user also weird that it does work as root. I saw this in another bugreport tgoo
digiKam do not use KIO ptp since a while (before 1.0.0 if i remember). So this problem only affect Dolphin.
Retested it with the old Powershot A570IS. Plugged in, camera gets recognized, I can open pictures and download them, everything works flawlessly. Closing bugreport.
