I showed you a powershell script. That demonstrates
the namespace of the MTP device.

The developer community is unimpressed. The XNView developer
for example, he entered a thread in his forum and said MTP
is not supported. And he did not equivocate. He didn't
say "maybe". Nothing of the sort. He did also not address
in public, what he has against MTP. But of all the developer-speak
I have decoded, it leaves no question in my mind, he won't
lift a finger to change that.

Now, look in here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_image_viewers

   FastPictureViewer

   Native 32 and 64-bit, Tethered shooting (MTP/PTP over USB),
   Multicore-aware, DirectX accelerated, HD Photo / JPEG XR support.

That's the only one. Wiki lists are seldom complete, but the lack
of competition on the MTP issue should tell you something.

If a namespace exists in Powershell, then it should also exist
(somewhere) in places like .NET . But that does not translate
to "an easy time of it". It's still going to be a hundred lines
of code, to do anything, even if a library is available. And
that won't "mount" the thing, but it might grant enough access
to write a plugin.

Since I don't have an MTP device, I don't have an incentive to
carry the issue further. I couldn't, for example, test
a short program that attempts to dump the name of the phone or
camera.
