A "film roll" is a *collection* of images whereas a folder is a directory,
a storage structure.

When you "import", you assign a "film roll".  If you import a "folder",
you import all target files withing that folder.  If you later add to that
"folder", your film roll is not affected.

A "film roll" may contain images from many or only one "folder", and all
or only a few within that "folder"/directory.

Liken a "collection", re: film roll, to a link to several or only one
file.
