Import USB Storage Devices unable to use in MacOS Hight Sierra 10.13.5 Program do nothing when I click Import>USB Storage Devices. No USB devices are showed, no folder, no files...
With 6.0.0, we use new Solid API with better MacOS support. It's not perfect and not yet finalized, but it's better than nothing (as with 5.9.0 without any MacOS device support). I will rebuild a MacOS bundle soon. Gilles Caulier

This is my resume of possible way to detect new removable devices as USB key, USB drive, sdcard, USM camera, without to use Solid and Gphoto2. For ex, macOS/Windows support with Solid is uncomplete, and Gphoto2 do not compile under Windows. So we need alternatives. Some link to implementations : https://github.com/wang-bin/qdevicewatcher https://github.com/MadLittleMods/node-usb-detection https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/tree/master/src/devices https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5043096/detecting-usb-notification-in-qt-on-windows The Clementine source code link is a good candidate as it work like a charm under macOS and Windows. I always be in love with Clementine audio player since a while, but source code is a little bit complex to read, and well structured. Typically, the goal is : - replace Solid calls under Windows and macOS with alternative. - be able to receive notifications when device is plugged and unplugged. - be able to capture mount point on host file system. - be able to get medium UUID. Solid will still used for Linux target, as it work very well... Gilles
