The pieces file is the same for any platform, you can just copy it over from a Windows machine (or see my last message about the latest patch).
I was thinking about a single message at the end of the import, something like "100 pieces imported successfully". That way it gives some information and isn't annoying when doing batch imports or maybe have a progress bar instead (there's already a reusable progress bar dialog in the project that should be fairly easy to call). The imports really need some better error reporting, I believe it just silently ignores missing files and other non fatal errors.
