I also just got confused by this. :)
Here's my use case: I like how Shotwell puts my photos into datestamped
directories, so if I have a folder of photos I've e.g. downloaded from
somewhere (rather than imported from my own camera), I like to be able
to import with copy to get the Shotwell directory structure. I can then
delete the directory from which I imported.
When I tried this the first time I was confused not to see the prompt
about symlinks/copies. After I found this issue it made sense, but
perhaps it would be nice if a dialog could inform the user about what's
going on? (e.g.: "Since you're importing from a subdirectory of your
library, Shotwell will create symlinks to these files instead of copies.
If you'd like to copy instead, move ${IMPORTDIR} outside of ${LIBDIR}"
... or something along those lines)
Thanks!
