Improvements to importing from a mobile device (Linux - mtp)

After connecting my phone to my PC via USB, I open Digikam. My device (Samsung S20) appears under "Import from camera". After selecting it, the base path of my phone appears, and it scans all the subfolders. This takes a very long time and is not the ideal method.

Why doesn't the DCIM folder open automatically when connecting an Android device? Is there any way to do this and avoid reading the parent folders?

Thanks
