            Bug ID: 330062
           Summary: digkam,mtp,ptp, import is very slow
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.5.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

cpu : AMD Athlon 64 dual core 5000+ , 8 GB
opensuse 13.1 x86_64 , digikam 3.5
samsung SII P , android 4.2.2

ptp,mtp protocol

- gwenview
import
it's a matter of a few second <- very handy

- list of photos and videos

photos and videos from my camera are at the top <- very handy

 -digikam
import
it's a matter of minute , not handy at all
50 % cpu power
digikam completely freezed (not crashed)

photos and videos from my camera are at the bottom <- not handy

slider response is very slow <- not handy

digikam is oriented to camera then why scanning all internal and sd card
storage ?

here the list of all folders digikam presents :

store_00010001
data
com.android.email
com.google.android.apps.maps
com.google.android.talk
com.sec.android.gallery.3d
cache
samsung
audio
osmand
voice
voice
voice
voice
voice
voice

store_00020002
store_00020002
DCIM

it would be enough to scan only these folders for a camera oriented app :

internal storage/ DCIM/
sd card storage/DCIM

why listing music , icon ? it's not relevant for camera oriented app . no ?

i know that for some smartphones (nokia 5800) videos are not stored in DCIM

perhaps a solution is an option to scan :
all the storages
or
only the folders internal storage/ DCIM/ , sd card storage/DCIM/
or
the user fills a list of what folders he wants

a fast solution can be
all the storages
or
only the folders internal storage/ DCIM/ , sd card storage/DCIM/

thanks


Reproducible: Always

digikam 4.0.0 beta 4
kde 4.12.4

pb still there .

i discover this with kde 4.12.4 :
in dolphin we access to the smartphone via "mtp:<name of the smartphone>"

mtp displays 2 devices : "card" and "phone"

mtp lets the user running very fast across the 2 trees

there is 2 difficulties :
-  the user must know where are the photos and videos taken with smartphone
camera . in case of android he must know photos and videos are in "DCIM" folder
in the "phone" or in "card" if user chooses in "photo" app to store them in
"card" .
- there is no preview .

i think it is an interesting alternative way to procede if the 2 difficulties
are solved

opensuse x86_64 13.1
kde 4.13.1
digikam 4.0.0

no progress for mtp and ptp it is very slow

my solution today (no more cable) :
android 4.2.2 + primitiveftpd (ftp server to share internal and external
storage)

my smartphone and my pc connected with wifi to the same network

the sole pb with this solution is that "import from a remote computer" is less
feature rich that "import from a camera"

with 5.4

it is no more slow but it remains a problem:

why listing all folders instead of the one whom digikam is aware : DCIM/camera
or better the tree DCIM because under DCIM many different folders are created
by camera apps as "100ANDRO", "Camera", "OpenCamera" etc.

because DCIM is the standard root dir. Sub directories can be different for
some device.

Starting to scan from DCIM will work on all cases.

Of course a future work to customize this patch for each camera set in digiKam
can be a solution. See bug #168253.

This is another point to talk in #168253

--- Comment #13 from Philippe ROUBACH <[hidden email]> ---
i didn't well explain about MTP

1. digikam display many many folders apart Camera folder. read again
description of the report

i know it's not digikam but the MTP protocol.

only Camera folder is useful for digikam.

it would be better if digikam filters result of MTP and retains only Camera

Camera is drowned among many folders.

2. digikam(?) displays "Camera" folder

it would be better to display "DCIM"
because "Camera" is a not a standard folder to store photos by camera apps

there is no standard folder in android to store photos by camera apps

with android
some app store by default photos in DCIM/100ANDRO/
some app store by default photos in DCIM/Camera/
some app store by default photos in DCIM/OpenCamera/
etc.
