Shotwell and Android phone: "The camera is locked by another application"

Applications

Can you try if this works for you:

  • When the dialog shows in shotwell, unmount the device in Nautilus
  • Click ok on the dialog
  • Switch to a different Section in shotwell
  • Switch back to the camera

This seems to work for me in Debian 11. I don’t know why on Debian Shotwell does not offer to unmount the device itself.
