Just found the path: <br>
<br>
mtp:\Galaxy A51 de Frederic\Card\DCIM\Camera (the one I used with
freefilesync to synchronize my smartphone on my PC))<br>
<br>
and then I've been able to create a camera as an USB device , but I
have an error when launching the import : "unable to connect to the
device ...." while the same path is working with freefilesync<br>
<br>
any ideas ?<br>
<br>
FYI: the smartphone is configured to the "transfert pictures" mode<br>
<br>
regards<br>

<div>1/ select the transfert of photo from your smartphone as
Usb Mass Storage.</div>
<div>2/ connect your smartphone to your computer and look if
it detected as an USB key.</div>
<div>3/ look where is mounted the smartphone by the system
(path)</div>
<div>4/ Setup a UMS device in digiKam setup camera. configure
the mounted path.</div>
<div>5/ on your camera, give the right to the computer to read
contents (if necessary).</div>
<div>6/ start the Import tool in digiKam.</div>

I'm searching a way to import pictures from my smartphone
(Samsung A51) <br>
as I'm doing with the SD card of my camera (select only new
pictures) . <br>
I'm using it in parallel with my camera and importing the
pictures <br>
manualy is painful and not secure. In a previous discussion
there was a <br>
proposal to use transfert tools like freefilesync, but it
will detect <br>
likely only new pictures until you didn't removed some
already imported <br>
(then you will import them again)<br>
<br>
So I tried again to investigate on the connection of my
smartphone to DK <br>
(now using 7.5) but seems Digikam is looking for network
drive only and <br>
I didn't find how to assign a drive to the SD card of my
smartphone. I <br>
also look at DK configuration to create a camera , but same
problem, DK <br>
is looking for a network drive.<br>
This may not be a problem on DK side, but I'm wondering if
someone found <br>
an efficient way for such import<br>
<br>
thanks all for your feedback<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
