Description Wojciech 'arab' Arabczyk 2004-12-04 11:58:37 UTC

Version:           0.7 (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.3, ssp-3.4.3-0, pie-8.7.6.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-gentoo-r4

Self explainable i think (look at the short description). As for now we have to do 2 things to transfer all the photos. Instead click and forget we do have to press: copy all -> delete all.

this is not a safe option. its quite possible that a bug in libgphoto2 (or camera driver) causes incorrect downloads, but reports successful downloads to the application and the application happily deletes the files after that. in fact, during the early days of libgphoto2 2.0-beta there was in fact a bug like this. it would download empty files and report to the app that it download the file successfully. so user intervention is needed to check that the files have been downloaded correctly.

Why not mark this button as "(dangerous)"?

Feel free to use this patch. Some don't understand that not all users are so
stupid as to not follow warnings. I was suggested to maintain a fork instead of
adding the feature to digikam. As I'm not able to maintain such fork myself,
here you have the patch.

If you find a better way to warn the end user of the danger of this option,
please feel free to let me know and I'll try to fix this patch
