[Bug 56168] k3b should *not* calculate md5 sum of images by default

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: k3b

K3b starts calculating the md5 sum of any image immediately after
selecting the image file in the appropriate dialog. This calculation
uses alot of resources, especially with large dvd images. There appears
to be no option to prevent this md5 calculation from starting
automatically, nor any way of stopping it once it commences other than
starting the burning process.

K3b should not do this calculation automatically at all unless it is
needed or useful, such as when there's an md5sum available to check
against, or when it's needed for verification purposes; in the vast
majority of cases this is not so. Also, there should be an option to
turn it off completely.

Described behaviour may or may not also be the background of bug 51939.

(Kubuntu 6.06, K3b 0.12.14, KDE 3.5.2)

** Affects: k3b (Ubuntu)
