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.
