Observed behavior

USB Connected Camera is not listed under “File browser” within Aspect.
I can access the photos on my camera whiting windows by navigating to “My Computer” and then it is listed as “Portable Devices” where I can access the files normaly: Dieser “PC\RICOH GR III\SD\DCIM”
But within Aspect in the left down corner where I can Access “Dieser PC” (=”This PC”) My Camera is not listed.

Expected behavior

I would expect to see my camera also Listed under “Dieser PC”

Steps required to reproduce

  1. Connect camera and PC via USB. Camera is recognized by the System and I can browse/Copy the Photos via file browser
  2. Open Aspect

Operating system/Hardware used

Thinkpad X1 Carbon 9th Gen. Windows 11 all updates and drivers installed.
Camera Ricoh GRIII Firmware Version 2.0
Aspect Version 1.0.0-rc.43

Additional Observations:
I also can NOT drag & drop the photos from the camera into the program. I first need to copy them to an folder on the internal SSD
Same behavior when I connect my Android phone (Pixel 7 via USB connected)

Same issue with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Gnome Shell

A workaround for accessing the files under Gnome or other desktop environments that use GVFS is to browse to /run/user/1000/gvfs/ and look for a folder that starts with “mtp:”.

I’ve already thought about listing all GVFS mounts in the application in addition to regular mounts, which would not only make MTP volumes available, but also SMB and SFTP volumes. There is a caveat with these that they are not fully functional file systems, so creating a library on those should be disallowed at the same time.
