[Digikam-users] DigiKam cannot find camera

[Fabio]

I think the issue here is that you camera is being mounted as a storage
device rather than a camera.

When connecting, don't select "Open in folder" view (I think that is
what it is called). Tell Windows to mount as a camera and point to
digikam, or don't do anything then try and mount via digikam.


->
I connect the camera D5000 and the driver automatically opens the Nikon 
manager (?? not sure what is the proper name) .. here is a picture. note 
the path is not a  folder bu the device:




Whe looking at the File manager this is what I see. Note it is not under 
the Storage section but under portable devices:



I tried also with a Nikon D70 and this time it does not open the Nikong  
manager but the default Autoplay  window. I closed it with no option 
selected. Still it does not recognize it.



I tried creating a shortcut into a folder and configure it as a mounted 
device but it does not recognize the "folder".

In both cases, there is no option for me to select DigiKam as a program 
to open import pictures. I tried the autoplay options in control panel 
but the only options are Drop box  and windows default.

Thanks
