Description Xavier Brochard 2009-02-14 17:15:32 UTC

Version:           0.10.0-rc1 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.26-1-amd64

I would like to have a pause button in import window.

Sometimes you start importing a bunch of pictures, without verifying if you have enough space on your hard drive. A pause button can save time useful to find some files to delete on the hard drive. 

I know that Digikam will automatically stop the import if there is no enough space. You can make some space by dletion of files, and then restart the process to import the missing pictures.
But the import process takes long times to start on big repository (list of files, files comparison, thumbnails generation, ...).

I think this bugreport is another candidate for Qt4 Model/View of cameragui

It's not model/view port stuff, but an improvement to do into Camera interface.

In fact, we have a Stop button already. We need another one to pause operation.

Another improvement to do,  will be to preview image during downloading, as iPhoto do. I see this feature under my macbook, and i love it.

There is a file into bugzilla about this subject : 

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186574

Note : there is an entry relevant of model/view : the way to show preview image/video with F3 key, as into albumGUI. We have used QStackedWidget for that... it's not complicated to do. There are already some classes from AlbumGUI to re-use into CameraGUI...
