Could it be possible to include in this dialog a license selector for
the photos? If you don't put a license in the photos, they have all
rights reserved so if you are not the author you can't copy it, can't
modifiy it ... It could be very cool to have a license selector using
Creative Commons licenses and also, other license that people in the
list could propose. I offer my help for the Creative Commons zone.

I haven't found a guide. I have tried to disturb as less as possible the
actual code and to follow the desing if it is clear. For example, I have
finalle created a class for the Duplicates detection code, called
DuplicatesFinder. You can see it here:

https://acs.barrapunto.org/svn/f-spot/src/DuplicatesFinder.cs

For the importing features, I have followed the current import system
desing that it is clear and I have created the import backends for
Flickr and Gallery.
