Description Dick Gevers 2015-02-11 17:59:00 CET

Description of problem:

Upto and including digikam-4.2.0-2.mga5 it was possible and quite easy to import pictures from ipad connecting the ipad to a usb port.

This stopped working with digikam-4.4.0-1.mga5 and is quite irritating, especially as the ipad is quite common these days and it means final M5 would be without such function.

The way it used to work was menu: Import -> Cameras --> Apple iPad (PTP mode) and it worked fine. With last 2 versions simply nothing happens: no pictures appear no matter what is tried.

Please reassign to libaries digikam depends on if they are the cause of this.

Reproducible:

well it's quite common... but not enough i don't have any :p

BTW if you're using ptp mode there is nothing as far as i know specially
developed in digikam, but it should be related to gphoto2.

That is not me using it but digikam's choice, and the only way the system works!

It escapes me what you mean by this, can you clarify? Thanks.

On comment#1 i meant that as far as i know digikam uses gphoto2 (libgphoto2) for
that, so you could check if gphoto2 works properly then we have two possibilities 
- works and we can move this problem upstream
- does not work it's a gphoto2 problem

A good! Thanks. Will revert soonest.

Comment 5 Angelo Naselli 2015-02-20 15:43:41 CET

Ok digikam developers seem to confirm there is a bug in how digikam links libusb.
I'm waiting for a fix and see if it is really your problem. Please stay tuned to provide feed-backs :)

Comment 6 Dick Gevers 2015-02-20 16:04:10 CET

Just gotten around to trying gphoto2 when comment 5 came in:

gphoto2 works okay, but command line is hardly as easy as digikam when that works.

Comment 7 Angelo Naselli 2015-02-20 16:11:56 CET

that confirms it's a digikam issue :)

could you please check with the last cauldron release?

Comment 9 Dick Gevers 2015-02-22 22:34:28 CET

Yes it works now (although it it now tediously slow, which it wasn't when it worked earlier...). Thanks for the fix.
