Version: SVN current > 0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: GCC 3.4.4 OS: Linux Here is a patch that adds a button to the cameragui to make it possible to download selected pictures and delete them with one button press. The patch actually only combines the download and the delete function into a new one that calls both after another. The patch is against digikam current but problably works with the latest stable versions.

This feature will not be added to digiKam. There is no way of checking if the image is correctly downloaded. We do not want to take the reposibility of this. This will lead to problems of data-loss.
Pardon my ignorance but I don't really see the difference against today. How often is it that users download their pictures, close the cameragui, check each pictures and then proceed to remove the images. My guess is that most people just download their images and then remove them from the camera Besides if you take such measures of inspecting each picture the old alternatives of just downloading your images is still there. Just my 2 eurocents...
i'd love to have that too :-)
About 5% of my downloaded pictures have errors due to the transmission (don't know if this is an USB issue or gphoto, if I remember correctly, downloading with gphoto per command line resulted in the same kind of errors, and it is the same from the camera or a card reader). When I download file by file everything is alright. Therefore my suggestion is: implement the delete button but check the data integrity of the to be deleted files first (with md5?) Gerhard
