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

Earlier (some versions before, I don´t know how many) versions of Digikam did not have these problems. 
I don't take Live photos, it's disabled, all are static. The MOV files are from normal video taken on iPhone.
 Scrolling up and Down and loosing the thumbnails seems  to be another problem (in this case), but of course, libgphoto2 may have some influence.

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.
