Prior to installing Plasma, when i plugged in my camera (USB) to download photos, the "Device Notifier" would pop up with options. I checked systemsettings5 and there are no current device actions but my KDE4 device actions is comprehensive (by default) so i tried to copy one for opening the camera with digikam by manually copying/pasting from KDE4 Device Actions to systemsettings5. This did not cause anything to pop up, is this known to work under plasma 5.3 or have i just got a duff config ?
Whether "something pops up" is not related at all to the configured device actions. it seemed to be under KDE4 - what did pop up show me the device action options, i thought it was the device notifier?
If you connect an USB storage device, the device notifier should show it. If not you maybe hit a bug on a lower level. For a camera, the "Device Notifier" doesn't, the hard disk flashes when its plugged in. I could access the camera via Digikam. USB key (had to borrow one to check this) - yes, the "Device Notifier" does pop up with an action to load a file manager to read it and i have a "Device Notifier" USB key icon on the task manger
The easiest way to test whether you "just got a duff config" would be to create a fresh user account and try there. Yep, i've been trying these things out on a new user but still nothing in "Device Notifier"
Do you actually have a "Device Notifier" in your system tray? Yes, but its one of the "hidden" icons
Does something popup when you connect USB storage devices? Only with a USB key and with not a camera
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.
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.
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.
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
Kind Regards, Wolfgang Thanks for the info. Do you think these actions should be automatically transferred when an update from KDE4 to Plasma is done? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
