I have been using Kipi-camera Download from Digikam for long time and was quite satisfied until I today. I am not able to find out reason for Digikam crashing so many times all of a sudden. The new thing was probably the huge amounts of data including big movie files of sizes around 11-15 MB or so.
Camera Model Dx7590 (Not in list of supported models, but worked quite well)

The first time my PC froze so bad that I had to reboot.
The second time I started downloading digikam crashed after moving around 27%
Next time I started being careful, I would select only some of the photos and downloading them, that was successful, now when I delete those photos and then again select some photos for downloading, I will get error "Cannot download file XXXXX.JPG", which implies camera being disconnected (which was also the mesg on the console "gpa_port_write/read: Connection timed out". Which means that once the delete option is being used the camera is disconnected ?
Once this kind of error comes, what needs to be done is to go to the Camera menu and start again. Sometimes when even that failes then I had to restart my camera.

I think PC freezing because of Digikam is a real bad thing, Crash of Digikam is much less severe but bad too. Kipi-plugins etc should not crash the host app IMHO.
