That is what copy usually does :)
And since we are talking about photos, it is way better to be safe than
sorry. But Larry is working on changing the import handling.

To be honest, I agree with Thomas in this one. The mail did come out a bit
harsh perhaps. Thomas had some nice suggestions as well.

But totally agreeing with the frustration of Janne and others though.
Tried to reply yesterday with a number of bugs that are related to this
issue, but the mail seems not to have arrived to f-spot-list yet.
So, here comes the bugs
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333503 (which is your problem)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337250 (specify Photos place)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318519 (lots of complaints)
etc....

Anyway, nothing bad from it, and it did also highlight the fact that
F-Spot is popular and becoming more so. With this comes more people using
it, and a lot more different ways. F-Spot needs to handle this one way or
another.
