A while ago I wrote a patch to allow customization of the directory
structure of imported items, which Alessio Gaeta graciously updated.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329040

Is such behavior (if not this patch) going to be included in the
import process? While the patch I wrote did not have this, ideally the
location set in the preferences dialog would be the default, while in
the import dialog one could choose a one-time-use location if they
wanted.

While we're at it, there's the video-import patch that me and Silvano
have put a bit of work into, although it might not cleanly apply now:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166038  Any chance of this
making it in?
