I see the fix for this is in kde-plasma 5.23. When updated it will be fixed.
I see their was another post on this … I was perplexed why it was closed once we found out it was a bug upstream?
current work around is to plug in a usb drive … plug one in as a dummy, then when you plugin the needed one it will work.
The goal is we have the dummy usb plugged in but never mounted … then when I plug my camera in it does not work, remove replug the dummy usb & now they both show up.
I just wanted to say hello, my first post here. Really happy with manjaro.
My very first issue after several months, I really was perplexed why the original thread was closed as fixed … kde-plasma 5.23 fixes it.
We are still on 5.22, but we have options to work around it.
I don’t know what original thread you’re referring to but if upstream has fixed the bug in a release yet to come - I can understand why the thread might have been marked as “solved”.
Anyways - if you feel adventurous, you can try building a patched package yourself. As luck has it, there are pretty detailed instructions for arch (manjaro is close enough) just for this case to be found here.

I appreciate the kind offer. I use to beta test a gentoo based distro, long time ago.
Then I switched to using gentoo about 15+ years ago. Still have it on my office pc, out here in the shop I installed the manjaro about 5 or 6 months ago. Really happy with it. This winter sometime will be installing it on 3 other computers and removing gentoo from them.
The thread I looked at the mod closed it after a bug had been reported upstream to kde about Sept 3rd? The mod had closed thread stating the upstream bug was best possible answer … I agree. But it is not a solution.
I just thought keeping the thread open and information could have been centralized there.
Instead I opened another thread to report a work around, for those that need it.
While they may have found the cure, will be released with 5.23. That is still in beta testing and not released yet. I have faith in kde.
But I help out on a forum repairing old automobiles from 1920’-50’s. We share photos a lot. So this work around really helps me, just wanted to share it hope it helps others until the fix is released.
