[Digikam-users] change startup order when importing

[Marie-Noëlle Augendre]

>From a user's point of view, that seems a very good idea.
As for myself, I even never have to choose the application as any removable
device including images will automatically launch Digikam when being
connected (my choice). But the problem is, I need to close Digikam before
introducing another card if I don't want to run several instances of the
program. ;-)
