[digiKam-users] iPhone Import: Thumbnails not showing and wrong date

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

iPhone communication is done in the background by libgphoto2 driver.
features are limited.

Typically, your iphone generates extra HEIF files in Live capture mode
from the camera. In fact it's short video files, and it sounds like
libgphoto2 doesn't know how to render a preview of these files.

Best
