I happen to quite like this feature, since I use it to copy pictures off my
camera and onto disk while importing them into F-Spot, and I think that
ought to be a fairly common use case. I would vote against removing this
feature, however perhaps the default should be to have it unchecked. Someone
should talk to upstream on that.
