Open the import dialog, click on the destination button, activate the 
"automatic subfolder" option and set the custom format to "%E" (click on 
the help icon to see all the possible special codes for the custom format).

Now when you enter an event in the import dialog that event will be used 
as a sub-folder of the destination.
