Of course! I just meant that extra complexity brings extra bugs.

I think adding a physical-orientation extension would be great.

If the physical-orientation function was removed from the importer (and 
replaced with a separate tool), and the "overwrite existing files" 
checkbox was replaced with a popup (when existing files are detected), 
then the "preferences" dialog could be a true "destination" dialog, 
without other functions.

Just an idea. It's not a critical issue.
