me neither. but i'm not using the gphoto import, but use the regular
`import' button to import my mass-storage mounted cf-card and then use the
`copy' or `move' buttons in the right panel to split up my files into their
final folders. this works more reliable, faster (no ptp), and i can look at
the thumbnails in regular lighttable mode already.
arguably it would be good to spend some time fixing the old import module
for those who prefer it that way. let's see if someone steps up for this.
