To do that we need to read the DCIM filesystem anyway. If we are going
to insert the semantic relationship between photos that are part of a
group (panoramas, intervals, etc.) then we need an intimate knowledge
of the directory layout and since the camera importer is going to
decipher the DCIM layout itself, why not let it read the list of files
itself?

Which info?

When the camera will be removed Tracker has to isolate the URLs from
this datasource. Tracker probably does that, but this is tricky and if
we can avoid doing this (which might mean overriding the user's
preferences) then better.

Happy hacking,
