[opensuse-factory] Device Notifier - before Plasma and after
Hi 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 ? Fortunately digiKam auto-detected the camera via USB okay so I could still download the photos but being able to select the action via the "Device notifier" would have been useful. Is there a way to copy all the device actions from KDE4 to systemssettings5 without having to manually copy/paste? Is this be a function as part of the upgrade from KDE4 to plasma 5.3? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Whether "something pops up" is not related at all to the configured device actions. If you connect an USB storage device, the device notifier should show it. If not you maybe hit a bug on a lower level. The easiest way to test whether you "just got a duff config" would be to create a fresh user account and try there. Do you actually have a "Device Notifier" in your system tray? Does something popup when you connect USB storage devices? 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. 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. 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.
