The patch looks good, thanks for your work on it so far. In particular,
I definitely prefer how the user is kept inside F-Spot rather than being
told to manually copy their photos across if their camera isn't listed
as an import source. The change of section title is a great idea too,
I'd never even considered people importing from memory cards.

Here's some feedback on the rest of the patch:

      * "...F-Spot</ulink> is a full-featured..." - I think that
        instructions on starting F-Spot should be provided in the
        initial sentence.
      * "~/Photos folder" - not all users will understand that the tilde
        means "Home folder". I suspect that most will press Places ->
        Home Folder -> Photos to get there, so maybe something more
        representative of that route to the destination, e.g. "the
        Photos folder, which can be found in your Home folder".
      * "only create references to images stored in other folders" - I
        don't think that this wording hints at the reason why you'd want
        to use that option explicitly enough. Maybe something like "add
        photos to the collection without copying them from their
        existing location".
      * "See the ... F-Spot User Guide" - F-Spot has built-in
        documentation now, so we should try to link to that instead.

Thanks,

Phil
