So I found this blurb in the docs
Camera import is currently not supported on Windows Systems due limitations in the Gphoto2 library.
An easy-to-use camera interface is provided that will connect to your digital camera and download photographs directly into digiKam Albums. More than 2500 digital cameras are supported by the gPhoto library.
I do see Google Pixel listed on the gphoto supported cameras list. When I go to Import > Cameras there are zero cameras listed, only Add Camera Manually. And in the Manage your camera devices window there is no Auto-Detect button like there is shown in the docs page on camera settings.
Are we supposed to compile and install the gphoto drivers ourselves on windows?
