Import view does not show file protection state of images on SDcard

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

If your camera use the Gphoto2 driver, the lock information can be
supported or not by the Gphoto2 module.
If you use the USB Mass Storage driver (digiKam native), this
information is always supported.

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
