Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I have a Canon Ixus 80IS and am using Ubuntu 10.04 (although I had this same problem with 9.04). Importing images and video files from the SD card using my computer's card reader works perfectly. It's fast and it flags any files I have previously imported with a tick. (I generally don't delete the files from my camera until the card is full and it's all backed up). BUT trying to import images and videos using the USB cable is extremely slow. It spends a lot of time generating thumbnails for the video files. It also doesn't flag the video files (.avi) that I have previously imported (although I do get a prompt later on to overwrite/skip/rename video files IF I am importing them into the same directory I did last time, if I am importing into a different directory then I'll end up with multiple copies of the same video). It does flag the previously imported images. It's not a serious issue as I can use the card reader, but I'd prefer to use the cable. I've heard of people who have come into problems with the card reader inside the camera after lots of use swapping cards...
Canon camera use gphoto2 driver. Which digiKam and libgphoto version you use. Go to Help/Component info for details. Can you reproduce the problem to use a CF card reader ? Gilles Caulier

-> previously imported video files are not flagged : fixed in 2.1.0. -> import from camera using cable is slow => fixed in 2.1.0. See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261871 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243760 For details. Can you test with current implementation from git master ? Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
For me this file is fixed now (future digiKam 2.1.0). Please re-open if necessary... Gilles Caulier
