SUMMARY *** As I have been translating the digiKam User Manual into French for more than a month, I would really like to make the tool for importing images from cameras work, so that I can take screenshots in the current version. (7.8.0) and try the features described. It does not work on Windows 10 or Linux Mint, and it's unfortunate because the Manual presents the import of a camera as an advantage of digiKam, should I remove the chapters concerning the import of camera ? (No I don't) ,and it's the same with the scanner. I know perfectly well that you can use other means to import photographs (from cameras and from the scanner) into the digiKam, but I thought it was nice to be able to do it as it was described in the Manual. Many thanks if you can find a Solution even a workaround. Sincerely Jean-Pierre I have already reported this bug, i know perfectly that it is not obvious but i hope *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Import Camera (I tried many times and in every way) 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Failed to connect the camera make sure it is connected properly and turned on EXPECTED RESULT that the tool operates as described in the manual and also for my french translation ;-) ! SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Gphoto2 is not supported under Windows. We have already a long story about this topic. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398166 Native WIA API from Windows must be used to deal with camera. This API can be also used in cross compiled environment to build Windows binary. For the moment the WIA interface in digiKam do not exists yet.
