Hi all,
Sorry to begin talking about this several weeks after the fact. But I
do have some questions regarding this patch.

Or only one really: Is the information regarding which import roll a
photo "belongs to" deleted from the database? It seems to me that this
would be unfortunate.

Perhaps I've gotten too used to how I organise my photos but I prefer
to have my photos primarily organised by "rolls of film", which would
correspond to the import rolls.

It also seem to me that if the "import roll" field was simply a
timestamp for the roll import it would be easy to get the last X
import rolls. (Where X is any number determined by the user at the
time running the search.) At least I imagine it would be easy with my
very limited SQL experience, but organising the import_roll values in
reverse chronological order and then selecting the first X should be
quite simple, or am I missing something? (It's quite possible as I
have no experience coding against SQL servers.)

Furthermore it might be good to keep the import roll timestamp around
for future uses. Personally I like to view my images grouped by import
rolls, but that's probably mainly because of how I organise my images
in addition to my previous use of Picasa.

So, to reiterate, is the import roll info saved per photo or in a
separate database table?
