yea, i was gonna add to your post, but i thought it might not be the same thing... i am afraid that keeping strigi and akonadi and selinux out has it's price:)
Kanenas,
I suspect it actually has something to do with udev. I don't know what has changed, but kde3/digikam worked flawlessly with all my cameras, iPhones, etc.. up until a month or so ago and then stopped. When it stopped, I tried to manually browse the devices with konqueror and the mounted filesystem structure just seemed to keep repeating itself and never actually getting to the directory that holds the photos. Here is a screenshot of what I get today:

In this screenshot, I have connected the iPhone via usb and I have always been able to browse or download from the "USB PTP Class Camera" directory. Now when I try and open that folder, it just keeps repeating itself over-and-over again. That's what is preventing digikam from every finding the photos.
Food For Thought ;-)
I grow more and more suspicious that Microsoft is the brainchild behind KDE4 and Gnome3. How do you kill Linux?
Answer: Convince it to scrap its working elegant and efficient desktops for alpha/beta versions of promised newer "gee-whiz" desktops that never actually get finished....

i like conspiracy theories:) now here is a small matrix of what works and does not work for me with the camera: Again, this is how the camera is seen, not if kde3 runs on the os's, that is a given:) 1. desktop: 11.1 / kde3-yes.----- 12.1 / kde3 - NO---- 12.1 / gnome -yes 12.1 / kde4 need to trouble shoot, don't get a screen, kde4 and gnome were installed after kde3, very low priority item tho... 2. laptop: 11.1 / kde3 -yes (was removed tho, now i ask myself why.....) 12.1 / kde3 -NO -----12.1 / kde4 ---YES no gnome was intalled. 11.4 / kde3 - YES!!! my suspicions also point toward udev, but it might be / probably is that the haldaemon that somehow fails to pick up all of the udev info. since kde4 does not use hal it is obvious the info *is* there, now the question is if hal can be patched for this... finally, to complete the conspiracy theory plot, we might want to ask if the brand new udev deliberately fails to pass info to hal:)))) d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
