>From a user's point of view, that seems a very good idea. <br>As for myself, I even never have to choose the application as any removable device including images will automatically launch Digikam when being connected (my choice).

Hi<br>
<br>
I would like to suggest a speed improvement in Digikam import process. This<br>
is from a user perspective, using KDE.<br>
<br>
Suppose Digikam is not started. When I plug a camera or sdcard, the<br>
notification menu suggest to import pictures using Digikam or Gwenview.<br>
Choosing Digikam, I have to wait until Digikam is fully started up. This<br>
startup is slow, because Digikam load a lot of things.<br>
But one just want to display, as fastest as possible, the content of his<br>
camera or sdcard. Actually, when one's want to import pictures, the first<br>
(commonly) needed steps are displaying and browsing pictures, then selecting<br>
the ones you want to import. These steps doesn't need kipi plugins,<br>
database loaded, etc.<br>
<br>
Is it feasible to defer the full load of digikam components when it is<br>
launched through import process?<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
xavier<br>
