Hi,
Does anyone here know how to use DigiKam to download images from a
Samsung tablet? After
plugging the tablet in via USB cable, the removable media tool pops
up with two options:
Open in New Window, and Open DigiKam. Selecting Open in New Window
does nothing;
I do "Open in New Window". It opens in konqueror.
Not for me.
Make sure in the tablet that it connects as "Mass
Storage".
How would one do that? (It's not my tablet, but my
brother's; I've never had one.)
I navigate to the device's image folder (or
wherever I intend; such
as to a text file.) Then I copy (`cp`) (usually move (`mv`) is not
permitted) to wherever I want on my workstation.
DigiKam is selected, I get its main window, but
no files are displayed
I don't use digikam, but isn't its intended use for _camera_ input?
and there seems
to be no way to navigate the tablets file system.
Suggestions are welcome.
I seem to be able to navigate whilst in konqueror.
What does .../syslog , or .../messages, or `dmesg` show you?
dmesg:

Disclosure: My tablet is a Samsung - albeit several years old.
And my Ubuntu is very old, but Trinity is very current.
Not much help, sorry.
