--- Comment #3 from Geoff King <gski...@gmail.com> ---
Hello. Tested on macOS Catalina 10.15.6 and Digikam 7.0.0. 

Yes this issues is still there.  The external USB drive MyBook is 3GB and I
think Digikam gets stuck trying to preview import all the photos.  I had to
force quit as I'm not sure when it may have finished. 

Can we have a "blacklist" in the settings that excludes drives like that if we
want? It should probably be that way by default.   I'm sure some people do have
USB drives they might want to use.

I can also select other cameras by clicking the triangle option next to Import,
which is a better option.  I don't like the default option when clicking
Import. 

However, on the positive side, I was able to add my Fuji camera to the list in
the settings using Auto-Detect.
I was able to set a download directory in settings. 

clicking the import button I was given three options:
-USB Disk MyBook.... [large USB I use for backups]
-USB Disk MyBook.... [same large USB I use for backups with different name]
-Fuji camera... [newly added]

I clicked the Fuji option and was able to download the files correctly.  

Other issues encountered with Import:
   -iPhone 8 not detected initially at setup. I learned that can only have 1
camera plugged in at a time during detection. Once I removed the Fuji, the
iPhone was detected and was able to be used for import. 
   -Flash SD card from other camera not detected by digikam (didn't try hooking
it up via USB, usually easier to just remove the card)

Final thoughts.  This import feature would be nice for many I think.  However,
the built in Mac "Image Capture.app" works well too as far as I'm aware all
Macs have this.  If this feature isn't working fully or still presents
problems, I think it should be disabled on Mac and people should be made aware
to use the Image Capture app instead if they need guidance.  Could it be
labeled "experimental" or "beta"?

Thanks, Geoff
