I meant the thumbnail view (album view like) - but you understood me

OK looks like I am hit by this gphoto2 bug with my Nikon D70 in PTP mode. I 
switched to USB Mass Storage on the camera but now I don't know how to 
configure it inside digikam. The auto detect fails and in the add camera list 
there is no USB Mass Storage anymore.
