Gphoto2 integration in Dolphin (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone!

I've recently migrated from Manjaro KDE to Endeavour KDE, keeping my home folder thanks to a separate partition.

On Manjaro, I used to plug my Canon camera on USB, and it would be mounted and show up in dolphin automatically, where I could browse it as any USB drive. Since I migrated, my camera isn't recognised anymore. I installed libgphoto2, and the camera triggered a popup when I plugged it, but the 'browse' button opens dolphin, and nothing happens, I end up in my home folder as if I had opened up dolphin normally and the camera is nowhere to be seen.

With gphoto2, I'm able to see and read the content of the camera, same with digikam. My guess is somewhere some kind of link is missing between dolphin and libgphoto2.

I've also installed kio-extras, nothing changed.

Could anyone help me find out how to get my camera to show up in dolphin as it used to do?

Thanks for your help!

Maybe you are missing dolphin-plugins which provides some extra plugins and features for Dolphin.

Thanks for your idea! I've just checked and I have it already installed so that's not it sadly...
