[digiKam-users] Adding mtp devices (for example mobile phones) to collections

[Maik Qualmann]

I do not think we can add this feature. With the import tool you can download 
images, but also transfer them back to an MTP device. Why do you want to have 
all images on the mobile devices? Maybe the built-DLNA server in digiKam is 
exactly what you are looking for. You can access and view your image 
collection via network with all mobile devices. There are a lot of Apps for 
all systems that support DLNA.
