Title:
  support custom directory structures for mass storage import dialog

Status in F-Spot:
  Won't Fix
Status in f-spot package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
