Right. And such a feature has been implemented in, for example,
Google's Picasa. I think the ability of F-Spot of creating a `Photos'
directory of itself and organizing all the pictures inside it *without
user intervention* is a very good thing (something that is absent in
Picasa). But an important required addition would be the ability to
monitor *changes* in and out of the Photos directory automatically.
This would relieve the user from worrying every time if she should or
should not move that picture file.
