Problem -
If the user decides to uncheck the "copy file to the Photos folder" or "Include subdirectories" settings after the images are done loading, but prior to the user clicking on the import button, the user has to sit and watch the images get reloaded/reprocessed. This can be quite a time consuming and time wasting activity with as few as 100 JPG images.

Steps to Reproduce
- Open F-Spot
- Select File | Import 
- Select a directory that contains roughly 100 JPG images (my test files were roughly 3MB each)
- After the images are done loading, uncheck the "copy file to the Photos folder" checkbox. Notice how the loading process starts all over again.

Expected Behavior -
Since all F-Spot users will import files, this is a highly visible annoyance. It seems like F-Spot should only have to load the image files once. If the user changes some of the import options, the F-Spot import process should be intelligent enough to make correct decisions without having to reload/reprocess all of the images. Below are a couple behaviors that I think might be more appropriate:

Checking/Unchecking "Copy file to the Photos folder" -
- If the user checks or unchecks this option while the image loading is in process, the image loading process should continue as normal.
- If the user checks or unchecks this option when the image loading is complete, no further processing should occur.

Checking/Unchecking "Include subdirectories" -
- If the user checks or unchecks this option while the image loading is in process, the image loading process should restart.
- If the user checks or unchecks this option when the image loading is complete, since we already have a list/array of all of the files, we should be able to correctly import the files based on the end user's final selection/choice of whether to include subdirectories or not. Another thing that would need to be correctly updated based on the user's choice is the image total displayed in the import status bar. 


Misc. Info -
The end users that are most affected by this issue are the power users. The more someone tries to have F-Spot be their main photo work flow tool, the more they are going to get frustrated with this flaw. So in summary, I would only consider this issue an enhancement if you truly don't value your end user's time.
