[KPhotoAlbum] KPA 3.1.0 RC1 not importing data / crash on cancel

No, this is one example:
   <image width="-1" startDate="2007-10-08T00:24:12" height="-1" endDate="2007-10-08T00:24:12" md5sum="b47ba441fdfc8926a1f181e138633ab7" file="test/IMG_0280.JPG" label="IMG_0280" angle="0" />
   <image width="-1" startDate="2007-10-03T17:29:36" height="-1" endDate="2007-10-03T17:29:36" md5sum="00000000000000000000000000000000" file="test/IMG_0280-2.JPG" label="IMG_0280" angle="0" >

The copied photo has a checksum. The imported one has a list of zeros.

What works better, is to first import the .kim-file without the photos.
(Thanks for the button to avoid the asking for the photos)
Then copy the photos in place. The only downside is, that the md5 sum
doesn't get created:
 <image width="128" startDate="2007-10-03T17:29:36" height="85"
endDate="2007-10-03T17:29:36" md5sum="00000000000000000000000000000000"
file="test/IMG_0280.JPG" label="IMG_0280" angle="0" >
(This may be asking for too much: at the import the files aren't present
and on the next start the photos are already present in the DB)
Marking just those pictures and doing "Maintenance/Recalculate Checksum"
does the trick.
