Shift-select no longer working in import window/Import speed?

[James Hughes <jnahughes gmail com>]

I have recently started using the latest F-Spot with, I htink, the new import code. A couple of things I have found a bit annoying. 

First is the speed - its very very slow. I tried using direct attachment to my camera (Canon-D450), or by inserted card in to reader, both time it was very very slow. There were 500 images on the card and in the end I gave up waiting for the previews to be displayed, deleted some already downloaded images, and tried again. I didnt have this problem with previous versions.

Secondly, when using the import window I would regularly use shit-click and ctrl-click to select which images I wanted to import. Shift click no longer seems to work.

Are these known issues? Are there any workarounds?

Thanks

James
