Digicam isn't able to recognize my : Canon EOS 600D Of course it's not acceptable for me. Not everyone *needs* always the latest camera model. I added my camera manually and got as thank you a crash. Your application looks amazing, but in front of such technical limitations I wouldn't offer a downloadable version till your product isn't mature. Looks more like s developer version than a public release. :(
Where the application crash exactly ? At new album contents scan or while camera contents downloading through USB cable ? Can you share a file to try to reproduce the problem here ? Can you test with current 5.8.0 pre release MacOS installer : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
Can't test version 5.8 right now, I'll see later and report back After adding my camera (configured to use Usb) and pressing the import button in the main window, Digicam crashes, always. Apple's default "Image Capture" (very basic service for scanning, photo import-and buggy too) and Apple's default photo manager "Photos" (software for grandpa's and children) both see my camera.
Digikam 5.8 behaves in the same way as it's previous version for my: Canon EOS 600D A) my camera isn't recognized B) 'auto-detect' button fails (camera settings-devices) C) crash when importing (manually added-configured camera) Other software see my camera Side note: "PtpCamera" is the background process responsible to import photos from cameras, your software seems to ignore that service
The problem come from gphoto2 driver, included in digiKam PKG installer for MacOS which are not found by the library at run-time. Probably the drivers are not at the right place in the bundle, or a path is missing. I will investiguate. Gilles Caulier
Git commit e463802578f435168cf74b344ce0142d91cdb3dd by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 27/12/2017 at 09:11. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. Add Gphoto2 drivers support into MacOS package. A fresh screenshot of digiKAm 5.8.0 installed under MacOS Sierra with gphoto camera setup dialog in action: https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/38620600104/in/pool-1556383@N21 FIXED-IN: 5.8.0 M +2 -0 project/bundles/macports/04-build-installer.sh https://commits.kde.org/digikam-software-compilation/e463802578f435168cf74b344ce0142d91cdb3dd
To test, pre release 5.8.0 PKG installer for MacOS have been just updated here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
OK. 1) I had to go to preferences and click "detect camera" because Digikam didn't recognize my connected camera by itself. 2) Clicking "import" I get a dialog which shows this message: "Failed to connect the camera. Please make sure it is connected properly and turned on." 3) Retry doesn't give any results. 4) switched camera my camera off and again on. Same results 5) quitting Digikam and starting again. No results The default photo manager from apple,"Photos" was open all the same time and detected my connected camera. (Always the same camera Canon eos 600D)
I tested here under MacOS Sierra with my Sony Alpha 77 in MPT mode (PTP protocol recognized by Gphoto), and the camera is detected properly. Gilles Caulier
