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: | [725210.239204] usb 1-11: new high-speed USB device number 17 using xhci_hcd | [725210.388939] usb 1-11: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860, bcdDevice= 4.00 | [725210.388945] usb 1-11: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 | [725210.388948] usb 1-11: Product: SAMSUNG_Android | [725210.388951] usb 1-11: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG | [725210.388954] usb 1-11: SerialNumber: ________________
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. Jonesy
