Johanes, I might be to blame for the "not convert history on import but later"

the UI philosophy we were going from was that a LR import was a
replacement for the default settings for new images...

i.e history is imported when you enter darkroom for the first time

and IIUC the button was removed in current version (but I my be wrong
on that one...)
