Description humufr 2008-06-03 15:56:05 UTC 
Version:           0.9.4-beta5 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-17-generic

I'm using a pcmcia card to import the photos from my camera. On precedent version of digikam (at least the one one gutsy) it was possible to ask digikam to select only the new photos at the moment of the import. This option is still present but not working, at least for me. so I have to select by hand the new images, it's not difficult but when there are plenty of images on the card the preview is slow but I need them to do the selection. 

By the way very nice application. I love it.

same in the final 0.9.4 I hope that will be corrected for the 0.10 version.

Yes, this is done now. It will be availalble with the next 0.10.0-beta6 release.

To be more precise, digiKam now use database to identify which file is already downloaded from the camera. 

Old version do not use Database but a flag from Gphoto2 drivers (Canon only). It's a uncomplete way that do not support USB mass storage camera. Now, with Database flags all camera type are supported.
