The absence of the "scan for devices" button itself, as opposed to an import button for the specific camera, suggests that your Darktable install was compiled without access to 'gphoto2'.
If you compiled Darktable yourself, make sure the 'libgphoto2-dev' package is installed and look over the build logs -- there should be a line telling whether or not 'gphoto2' was found in usable form. If you installed it from a package, it is most likely a problem for the people who assembled that package, rather than for the Darktable developers themselves. -- August Schwerdfeger aug...@schwerdfeger.name On 11/11/20 11:59 PM, Patrick Shanahan wrote: > * rob lineberger <rob.lineber...@gmail.com> [11-11-20 23:37]: >> I've heard great things and I can't wait to try tethering my Canon 7D with >> darktable.
