Rafael,

Thanks for replying about this.  I have already set the permissions
and uploading pictures to shotwell (which apparently uses libgphoto)
used to work.

However, I discovered a workaround.  On the phone when setting up the
usb connection, first click "no file transfer" then click " file
transfer" and shotwell then loads the pictures. This may be a
peculiarity of Pixel phones or Android 13 which libgphoto doesn't
understand -- some initialization issue.
