GIMP was not made to find cameras
I have been able to find photos from a connected camera through gimp - Just need to go to the computer and connected devices.
Find it easier nowadays to use a SD card.
Yes it's normal, your computer find the SD/memory card and you can go to the DCIM/Camera folder, because it sees it as an external drive/USB storage, that's why it shows up in the File > Open... GIMP's files' browser, it's very different than scanning or tether
As an example, plug your phone, you will be able to access internal storage and its SD card, but you won't be able to take a picture with it or access applications you have in it, unless you install on your computer a third party software like scrcpy to take full control of your device (to play games or take pictures from your smartphone to your desktop, for example)
Code:
sudo snap install scrcpy
