The device notifier action "Download Photos with digiKam" was not working for me. To fix this, I had to modify the "Exec"-line in /usr/share/solid/actions/digikam-opencamera.desktop from Exec=share/digikam/utils/digikam-camera downloadFromUdi %i to Exec=/usr/share/digikam/utils/digikam-camera downloadFromUdi %i Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in a camera via USB 2. Choose "Download Photos with digiKam" in device notifier Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Digikam's import windows should open.
This is a DOWSTREAM problem as in desktop.in file from digiKam source code we have : [Desktop Action open] # %f gives StorageAccess.filePath, %d gives Block.device, %i gives UDI Exec=@digikamhelperdir@/digikam-camera downloadFromUdi %i @digikamhelperdir@ is replaced at configuration time. Here under Mageia Linux all work fine with this script. Report this problem to ArchLinux team Gilles Caulier
I see the same problem on fedora, I'll look into it closer...
so, the problem is in data/hotplug/CMakeLists.txt: set(digikamhelperdir ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/digikam/utils) this makes an assumption that DATA_INSTALL_DIR is a full (non-relative) path. Better would be to use: set(digikamhelperdir ${KDE_INSTALL_FULL_DATADIR}/digikam/utils)
