            Bug ID: 305655
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.5.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Detect which pictures are actually new in the camera
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: tomaspartl at centrum.cz
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Import
           Product: digikam

This is the problem:
I installed digiKam, showed it where I keep my pictures and it recognized the
subdirectories as albums (nice). Then I connected my camera (actually a mobile
phone) to the computer and wanted to import new photos from it. BUT DigiKam
insisted that all photos in the camera are new, even though a lot of them were
in the albums already.
I tried to find a way to make digiKam compare the photos in the camera to the
ones in the albums (at least by file name) and mark as new only those that
weren't in the albums already, but I found no way to do it and ended up writing
a shell script to copy the photos in the computer instead.

So: It would be great if digiKam could check if the photos in a connected
camera are actually in the albums already and only mark as new those that
aren't. It could compare the photos using file names only or it could consider
also files size and maybe even a file checksum.

Thank you for considering this request!
