[Shotwell] Idea: improving import from camera

[Simon Spannagel]

Hej guys,

I have an idea how to improve the import from the camera.

Right now, I am pretty annoyed by the fact, that shotwell always creates 
thumbnails directly after importing one picture. This is okay for jpegs 
but takes quite a long time for RAW files, e.g. the CR2s from my Canon 
EOS 500D.

This causes the camera to fall back into standby mode because no 
access/action happens. This again causes shotwell to interrupt the 
import of files because the camera is not present any more.

In my opinion it would be better to import all requested files first and 
create the fitting thumbnails after that.
(you could still call it "inporting..." and leave the user thinking 
Shotwell is currently importing files)

regards and Merry Christmas,
Simon
