When importing photo from a digital camera, digikam will just use the filename to tell which photo is currently downloaded and the %.
What could be interesting is to display the image ( a mini-review/icon done from digikam generated preview ) next to the filename. Indeed for the user the image/photo have more meaning than the filename ( which is most of the times somewhat "cryptic" ). This will improve visual feedback for the user.

Another interesting feature should be also to add a visual feedback in the image/photo preview mode/pane. For example when an image is completly downloaded/imported, it becomes greyed. We could also think about an icon being added ( at the top of the photo for example ) to tell that the image have been imported.

Even more crazy : show image download progress directly on the photo in the preview pane by greying x% of the image depending on the download/import progression
