digicam 0.9.4 was released 2008-07-16, and since the release notes does not
contain information about this critical fix - SuSE for one has not picked it
up, they still offer 0.9.3-70.1

There is a real chance of data loss with this bug!
Let me describe what happens for me.

In the download window I note red X on several images.
This file names are not imported properly to digikam.
Marking them and downloading again succeeds.

But what is worse is that it was not really that image that is missing.
It overwrote the one before!
And you have seemingly correct file names but you lost one file (it will be
gone when deleting that image from the memory card) instead you got a
duplicate.

This can not be seen in the download applet - but check the files in digikam
main window.
