Greetimgs all;
Something wiped my passwd so was forced to install bookworm. This time I
install both kde and gnome desktops, gnome looks great, just one major
problem.
Something with "gvfsd-gphoto2 service" in its name is being blamed for
digiKam being able to see the pix in the camera when a usb cable is
plugged into it, but prevents digiKam from actually downloading the pix
using its import menu. So what package or where is that controlled. I
can kill it with htop, but its magicly restarted by plugging in the
camera cable. Rendering a 400+ dollar camera into a useless desk ornament.
Thanks.

yes, i found a similar problem when i was trying to get
pictures off my camera as the device was being grabbed by
something else instead of what i wanted.
i developed a script to make sure the camera was unmounted
and then remounted where i wanted it.
i don't have time to break it all out here but the script
is freely available at:
https://github.com/flowerbug/camera_file
it uses fusermount, gio and gphoto.
It also deletes the camera's pix as it copies them out. DigiKam doesn't
do that so I've always had a backup copy in the camera. So I won't dl
this script.
I'd much rather find the real problem and get it fixed.
Thank you Songbird.
another script for moving and backing up files that is
for me a second step is at:
https://github.com/flowerbug/mcol_pictures
i hope this helps.
