I want to import / transfer photos from my Honor Magic5 Pro (Android 13). The connection is established via USB / MTP connection (tried picture connection as well with same results). Windows recognizes the phone and I am able to manually transfer the files via file explorer. The Import camera dialog shows nothing and I am unable to add the correct camera settings manually. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. connect phone via USB / choose file or photo transfer on phone to establish connection
2. open digiKam / Import cameras shows nothing
3. add camera manually / type name / usb connection / mount point dialog doesn't show path to phone

OBSERVED RESULT
- phone doesn't show up automatically
- mount point dialog cannot navigate to phone / MTP-device (virtual) folder ("This PC\PhoneName\Internal Storage\DCIM" or similar)

EXPECTED RESULT
The Phone should be autodetected or at least it should be possible to configure the camera manually. I would like to use the import dialog directly instead of copying the files manually via file explorer.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Honor phones show an additional CD drive ("Honor Suite") after connecting the phone on windows. This CD drive gets a drive letter as well. The phone itself is shown under "This PC" only.
