F-spot should remember if I want to copy photos to the Photos folder when importing

thanks for your report, that's known upstream you can track it here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326328

The duplicate bug was declined for One Hundred Paper Cuts without precise explanation. I think that's wrong: this bug will hit any new user, it can be a real annoyance if the default is not what you want, and is easy to fix. It's just a matter of adding a GConf key and link it to the state of the checkbox, not really a pain to do in an already working Mono project.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

A bug in the program is Not a papercut. Especially there seems to be no easy fix.

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.
Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

@Milan Bouchet-Valat:
For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut
Pls read the wiki , and also the *notes* at the bottom.

If you follow the upstream report in gnome-bugs , you can see that this problem existed since 2006! there is a patch since 2007 , but that patch causes F-spot crash! So there seems to be no easy fix for this. Hence not a papercut.
Hope it is clearer. :)
