Importing Photos that Are Already in the Photos Folder

[Sean McCauliff <sean mccauliff gmail com>]

After using UNIX for 22 years I finally did "rm -fr .*" in the wrong
place.  Fortunately it only nuked the "." directories before I killed
it.  This means my F-Spot database has been nuked.  But all my photos
are in the "$HOME/Photos" directory.  Is it safe to import the photos
that are already in the photos directory?

Thanks,
Sean
