           Summary: import from camera using cable is slow and previously
                    imported video files are not flagged
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: daveshep at gmx.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a Canon Ixus 80IS and am using Ubuntu 10.04 (although I had this same
problem with 9.04).

Importing images and video files from the SD card using my computer's card
reader works perfectly. It's fast and it flags any files I have previously
imported with a tick. (I generally don't delete the files from my camera until
the card is full and it's all backed up).

BUT trying to import images and videos using the USB cable is extremely slow.
It spends a lot of time generating thumbnails for the video files. It also
doesn't flag the video files (.avi) that I have previously imported (although I
do get a prompt later on to overwrite/skip/rename video files IF I am importing
them into the same directory I did last time, if I am importing into a
different directory then I'll end up with multiple copies of the same video).
It does flag the previously imported images.

It's not a serious issue as I can use the card reader, but I'd prefer to use
the cable. I've heard of people who have come into problems with the card
reader inside the camera after lots of use swapping cards...
