Vadim, when we added video in Shotwell 0.8 we had to decide what to do about all of Shotwell's strings which mention photos (there are hundreds). We thought it might be annoying to see "photos/videos" everywhere in the user interface since Shotwell is primarily a photo manager and users will often work with photos only. We could be smarter and display either "photos", "videos" or "photos/videos" in each message depending on the particular media objects that are selected, but we didn't want to make our translators translate several variants of every single string. As a compromise, we picked the most important and commonly seen messages in Shotwell and generalized those to say either "photos", "videos" or "photos/videos" as appropriate. In most other places, Shotwell still says just "photos", but I think that should cause no great confusion. When Shotwell displays the particular dialog you mentioned, we don't actually know yet whether there are videos in the set to be imported because we haven't scanned the import folder yet. So we can't easily switch between "photos", "videos" and "photos/videos" on the fly. We could just say "photos/videos" in the dialog, but I think that might be annoying when importing only photos which is, after all, Shotwell's primary job. So I think we'll likely keep this particular string as it is. If there are other strings in Shotwell which still say only "photos" but you think should be generalized to mention videos as well, feel free to file a ticket and we'll consider changing them.
