This is planned; the roadmap lists it as support for non-drive devices.

Can anybody try if this works, please? (I cannot, my Canon Ixus comes up as a normal drive right away):

Don't know if this will work for her software or not (don't know what she's
using), but I tried this with my Canon PowerShot SD700 IS and was able to
map it (sort of).
Connect the camera and turn it on. If autostart or the prompt window comes
up, close it without doing anything. Open My Computer, right-click on the
camera, and select Create a Shortcut. It'll say it can't create one here, do
you want it on your desktop. Click OK.
Create a folder under your C: drive (or whatever drive that's used for
pictures) and name it whatever you want (for this example, I called it
SD700). Move the camera shortcut you created on the desktop to this folder.
Right-click on C:\SD700 and pick Sharing and Security. Share the folder.
Apply and OK out.
In Explorer or My Computer, click on Tools. . .Map Network Drive. Browse to
the shared folder you created and click Finish. I mapped mine as W:, and
when I go to Explorer and open W:, it shows the camera shortcut (which I
renamed to just Canon). Clicking on it shows all the pictures that are on
it.

I would also like to see portable devices in XYplorer. In particular, I'd like to access my Nikon camera.

Can't you define it (on the camera) as mass storage? Then it should be accessable via drive character.dkump wrote:I would also like to see portable devices in XYplorer. In particular, I'd like to access my Nikon camera.

Unfortunately Nikon doesn't let me mount it as USB mass storage. Apparently Nikon stopped supporting it in their newer models. It's my understanding they support PTP only.

Seems you are right (Downloaded info for D800 - seems it's just not mentioned there. And I'm afraid that really means only PTP is supported.)
OK: as owning a card reader I am used to plug in my card there. Especially as it is quite a bit faster. (My reader is USB 3.0
) But I really don't understand why Nikon restricted it this way...Re: Portable Devices
