CVS Import copies photos to ~/Photos!!

[Bengt Thuree <bengt thuree com>]

Hi

Just managed to compile the CVS version of F-Spot, and to my surprise a
few things have changed rather much, and not to the better I think.

==> 1) Apparently somewhere down the track it was decided that F-Spot
will store all photos in ~/Photos/Year/Month. 
In my case, I will store all photos on a separate partition, but yes,
under the Year/Month structure. I do know some people who would choose
not to store them according to this though.  
I would assume that it is best that F-Spot by default keeps the picture
in the place he imports them from (as long as it is from the file
system.) If it is from a Camera or removable media, a question to if you
want to copy them to filesystem (and where in that case) would be
appropriate.
Personally I would like to move/copy/rename the pictures if needed later
through some menu in F-Spot (like bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302566)


==> 2) Second time you import pictures, it re-imports the ones just
imported and if you press finish, then you get a lot of duplicates.
No way to stop to change some parameters (like tags etc.)


Any comments on the background to these changes perhaps?
