it seemed to be under KDE4 - what did pop up show me the device action options, i thought it was the device notifier?
Yes. But it should pop up even if there is no device action option I think. Although for storage devices there are some default actions in any case. As you cannot mount your camera if it doesn't present itself as storage device, that might not apply in this case though. Don't know, all camera's I used show up as standard storage device, just like an SD card reader.
Does something popup when you connect USB storage devices?
Only with a USB key and with not a camera
So your camera is not a storage device. You probably have to access it via MTP.
Or is just the option to "Download Photos with digiKam" missing? That's because digikam is (still) a KDE4 application and installs this solid action to KDE4's location.
Nothing was being displayed for the camera.
Well, for a (MTP) camera, digikam's action is the only one available I suppose.
You can "fix" that by copying KDE4's solid actions to KF5's location, i.e. copy the file(s) from /usr/share/kde4/solid/actions/ to /usr/share/solid/actions/. In this case it would be digikam- opencamera.desktop.
Thanks, that now works as i was expecting.
Good.
There are a lot of links in /usr/share/solid/actions for k3b and gwenview which seem to be linked to itself, i tried to "cat" one of them but it couldn;t resolve it due to too many levels of symbolic links, they all have mod levels of "lrwxrwxrwx". If i put a DVD or CD into the tray, nothing pops up e.g. k3b, and its not visible in Dolphin, I expected it to appear somewhere in the Places section.
No, those are not "linked to itself". But a link in KF5's location (that points to the actual file in KDE4's location) has been added to many openSUSE KDE4 application packages to make them show up in Plasma5. This has not been done for the digikam package yet for some reason, maybe an oversight. Inserting a CD/DVD should make the device notifier popup in any case though, and it should be shown in the Places panel. Your dolphin is still KDE4 based anyway, so at least that problem is definitely unrelated to Plasma5.
You could also copy them to ~/.local/share/solid/actions instead (create the folder if it doesn't exist) that would only apply for that particular user though.
I've not got any plans to do that
That was just a suggestion.
Thanks for the info. Do you think these actions should be automatically transferred when an update from KDE4 to Plasma is done?
No. /usr/share/ normally only contains files installed by packages anyway, there's no "automatic transfer" needed nor does it make sense. The user settings in ~/.kde4/share/apps/solid/ are a different matter though, I'm not sure whether they are migrated or not, but I'd rather think not. Although most users probably won't have any at all I guess... If you install the KF5 based digikam version (hasn't been released yet, so it is only available from KDE:Unstable:Extra), it will install the action to the correct (for KF5) directory anyway.
