You may be bumping up against an issue with DigiKam and image previews.

I have this issue with a Cannon.  When I hook up the camera a "preview" window 
pops up the photos taken in RAW format do not display in the preview.  However, once they 
are downloaded and placed in the library they display and can be worked with just fine.  
This is with LibRaw-0.15.4-1.fc20 installed.

When you say the photos don't display in the preview, do you mean it doesn't 
see the files at all, or can't show the contents?
It shows the existence of the files with a "default icon" but not the image 
itself.

I assumed the reason it shows a default image for the files rather than the 
contents was because the raw format on my Nikon is proprietary and libraw 
hasn't been updated to support the format. The same issue was present with the 
raw interface in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements, it had to be updated to support 
the camera before it could manipulate the files in the NEF format that the 
D3100 takes.
In digikam, if you go to "Help--->Supported Raw Cameras"  you'll see your 
camera is listed.

I've tried accessing the camera with GIMP, but it can't even see it. I haven't 
tried RAWTHERAPEE or DARKTABLE yet, but I know those two can process the NEF 
files when they are on a hard disk.

And that appears to be the same for digikam.  Once you move the files to the 
system's disk you can view and work with them.
This might be because the camera is being accessed in PTP mode. I thought I saw in one of the links that Poma supplied that PTP access doesn't allow the contents of the images to be modified.

Steve
