I'm *certain* that these are within the use-case of a photo manager.

I'd like to see an "advanced" button in the import window that allows

A simple tickbox for "Remove existing tags" or something would allow one
to solve the 'overzealous friend' problem. I occasionally have this
problem with photos friends send me too.
