I might've finally figured out something that's been bugging me for ages: I haven't been able to easily get photos off my phone via my photo app, #Shotwell. I keep getting an error "your camera is being accessed by another application and is locked". Ugh. Turns out it might've been a #flatpak thing - just stumbled on the #KDE 'Flatpak Permission Settings' options in my desktop config... I've added some extra permissions and suddenly, Shotwell can see my phone's photos! Hope this helps someone!
