SUMMARY
Looks like there's room for improvement of the "Cancel" button when a user wants to cancel the import of images.  It doesn't cancel when clicking Cancel.

2. Select a folder, then Download all
3. While the process is running, try to cancel it.

The import process keeps running.

Clicking the Cancel button halts the import process.

In digiKam-8.0.0 the import process has been revised, Cancel works as expected. I'm still testing it with digiKam-7.9.0, but I think it works there too.

You're correct, I just tested it in 7.9 and it works fine - I didn't realize my version was out-of-date until submitting this bug.  Thanks!  Looks like we should close this as resolved.
