What Happened

Hi. When i connect my Sony camera (a5000) to usb port to browse photos, Files app doesn''t show the sd card. It only shows the internal memory of the camera. On elementary 5 Hera I didn't have this problem.

Expected Behavior

Files should show both the internal storage and the sd card of the device, just like it did on elementary 5 Hera.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Connect the camera to the usb port and then turn it on.
  2. Open Files app. --> It only shows the internal storage "PMHOME". Files ejemplo

BTW, if I click on "PMPHONE" to mount it, and then close Files, then reopen Files, solve the problem! It shows both storages "PMPHONE and "16 GB Volume". Files ejemplo 2

Trying with another app: I installed Nautilus (from apt) to compare. I disconnected the device, then i did the same previous steps. Nautilus works ok. It shows both storages. Nautilus ejemplo

@marco4mp Thanks for the report. It is similar to some previous ones and there is a PR #1752 awaiting review which is aimed at fixing this type of problem. If you are able to compile and run that branch and test it your comments would be appreciated.

Hi @jeremypw. I think it's time to close this issue, currently it doesn't happen anymore. :)
