As someone who needs a photo viewer that has some basic editing tools, is digiKam a good tool? I've tried it in the past to mixed results... The UI and UX leaves a lot to be desired, but I do like the fact that it has local face recognition and other interesting features.

Any suggestions for how this could be a part of my use-case?

Does it support importing photos directly from camera on Windows?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, it's one of the main use cases.

"You can use digiKam’s import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB disks, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on-the-fly."

That's only on Linux via the gphoto2 library. Looks like the bugs for Windows are still open.

On Windows you can currently only import from a camera that implements USB mass storage protocol (meaning pretty much no mainstream Android phones which only have MTP and PTP so there isn't a mounted drive letter path).
