Bug ID: 356425
Summary: Dolphin browsing an MTP device precludes libgphoto2's
access to it until dolphin is closed
Product: dolphin
Version: 15.08.2
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: damonly...@gmail.com
When Dolphin has accessed the contents of an MTP device, libgphoto2 is unable
to access the device, even if Dolphin browsing another location e.g. the user's
home directory. The device becomes free only when Dolphin is closed.
Additionally, there is no way for the user to do the equivalent of a virtual
"unmount" to ask Dolphin/Kdeinit5 via the GUI to relinquish exclusive control
of the device. There also appears to be no way using the command line either.
I tried solid-hardware unmount udi (supplying the correct UDI), but
solid-hardware reported the MTP device 'does not have the interface
StorageAccess".
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. To confirm the MTP device is accessible by libgphoto2, plug in an unlocked
android 4.0 + phone (for example), and from a terminal execute gphoto2
--list-folders
That should work.
2. Open Dolphin and browse some folders on the phone.
3. Repeat step 1 while Dolphin is open. It fails.
It makes no difference if the device is browsed in a different Dolphin tab.
