To answer a few questions here:

- Shotwell doesn't move photos during an F-Spot import since many people want 
to keep them where they were for sundry reasons.

- You can enable metadata writing to store tags and other metadata in the files 
themselvers.

- Norbert's suggestion will work, however.  Shotwell uses duplication detection 
and library monitoring to detect when photos are moved.  If you move them from 
Photos into Images, Shotwell will detect that during its startup scan and 
adjust its database accordingly.

If you're worried about this, I suggest backing up your database before 
proceeding:

I have moved all metadata to my photos themselves. This makes the metadata go 
wherever the photos go. I like this change a lot. 

Just check the checkbox: Edit / Preferences / Metadata / Write ... metadata to 
photo files
