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; when DigiKam is selected, I get its main window, but no files are displayed, and there seems to be no way to navigate the tablets file system. Suggestions are welcome.

I do "Open in New Window". It opens in konqueror. Make sure in the tablet that it connects as "Mass Storage". 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?
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

Not for me.

How would one do that? (It's not my tablet, but my brother's; I've never had one.)

Well, Google informs me: "To set the Samsung Galaxy S2 to USB Mass Storage (MSC) mode, go into "Settings > More... > USB utilities" and tap on "Connect Storage to PC". Then plug the USB cable into the device and connect to your computer. The "USB connected" screen with the large green Android icon will appear."
I dunno if that last sentence refers to the Samsung screen, or a screen on some Windows' grotesquerie.

Well, that looks "OK", but I dunno if there is something absent -- if anything -- from that output.

I use the there is no spoon method and cut out the digicam middle man.
I just use kdeconnect. I put the icon thing in the autostart thing and then the icon whatsits just show up in Trinity. You can access files pretty easy with kdeconnect.
But that's not the only way I cheat. I also have Andsmb installed on my android phone. And then make a samba share on my desktop and just upload files to the share that is my desktop. But I only do that if I am lazy.
If you don't want to cheat there is something called MTP you can use to mount the phone drive.

KDE 5, IMO.

I was thrown by the technical terminology: "spoon method", "icon thing", etc. :-D
