I think this is something to do when a proper qt model is implemented for the camera gui. You can press Cancel button when thumb generation is under progress... Gilles Caulier The cancel is good function but I think the first step is needed to be speeded up. (There are three steps when importing, 1) To scan all the photofiles 2) Generate thumbnails for scanned files 3) Download all selected files) Currently the first step takes too much time, almost as much as the thumbnail generation itself. Like with the 4Gb card full of RAW files (232) the first step can take 4minutes at top. Generating thumbnails takes about 5-6 minutes and downloading about 5 minutes (littlebit slower than what is when copying files trought filemanagement). So the whole import can be 10-15 minutes depending will the thumbnails be generated. I can understand the speed in steps 2 and 3, but the first step is just too slow. That causes the effect user does not want to wait the thumbnails being generated because the first step was already very slow. There is somewhere a bug report about speeding the first step in import and a another bug report about having automatic import when inserting memory card. Many (most?) use same configuration all the times and import to root album (with ISO date etc automatically placed) and the import window just slows down. It could be as fast as just placing memory card (camera) to card reader (usb port) and select Import and nothing else would be needed. Maybe it could be top entry in sub-menu of the import device (quick Import) what use stored settings. > It could be as fast as just placing memory card (camera) to card reader (usb > port) and select Import and nothing else would be needed.

That feature request is here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224603 With current implementation from git master (next 2.1.0), thumbnails are generated on the fly, when necessary. Connection to camera is faster now. Gilles Caulier Thanks, Gilles. I hope that the implementation is in the Import dialogue only, and the regular folders still generate the thumbnails when entering the folder? Yes, it's only camera gui. I see new problem on camera icon view due to my fixes, especially when item are downloaded. I will fix it next week, no need to report a file about... Gilles Caulier |
