Re: some ui bits missing

["jason switzer" <jswitzer gmail com>]

I agree with Brian fully on this one. The best example is when I choose
to import from a drive. Until I ran f-spot from the command-line, I did
not know it was actually trying to locate files. On a large terabyte
network storage that has several thousands of pictures and somewhat
near 150,000 files, this ran for quite some time until I noticed what
it was doing.

There should be more of an indication to the user that it is processing _something_.

Well, that might help some places that are slow, but regardless, there
are going to be operations that no matter how much they are speeded up,
are going to be slow on a slow machine.  Those should not leave the UI
response-less and the user wondering what is happening.  A progress
meter should always be popped up on any operation that could be slowed
down by multiple selections.
