You read my mind!
This was my adgenda also when I added the album entry to the import
dialog. I thought that if it was present then the photos could be
organised by album instead of date (becaue like you, i find it hard to
browse the import folder by date). At present if the album entry is
filled out it just creates and album and adds the imported photos to
it.

It has limitations but kind of works.
