I think the fingerprints are required to determine similarity. So doing a 
similarity test *before* import would mean reading all files, calculate and 
store (where?) the fingerprints, and compare against the database. 
Then on import you will have to read all the files *again*...

I don't think digikam offers the possibility to calculate fingerprints for 
files not in its database (so not yet imported).
