Bug description:
Binary package hint: f-spot

I keep all  my photos sorted in a flat hierarchy, with lovingly named directories that describe the event (e. g. "Wedding Annet and Martin, Aug 2007"), with all the photos for this event prefixed with a number, and an optional name (if I was eager enough to name them).

F-Spot does not understand this structure when importing photos, though, but imposes the weird and deeply nested date-based structure on them, so that it destroys the layout. F-Spot should not try to own my photos, it should merely manage them! Thus the preferences dialog should allow me to select a layout, and the import dialog should have an unintrusive link to the preferences dialog to change the layout before I import photos.

The linked upstream bug has the beginnings of a patch for this.
