gthumb import fails on fat32

[Chris]

When trying to import photos from a USB camera the import fails because gthumb
attempts to create a new directory for the photos whose name includes the
sequence "HH:MM:SS"
This fails when trying to import to a fat32 file system because colons are an
illegal character for file names.
There seems to be no way to turn off the use of the timestamp in the directory name.

This is with the warty warthog release.

I've inspected the code for the latest version of gthumb (included in hoary
hedgehog) and it seems to fix the problem by replacing the :'s with .'s. Though
ideally, the directory name should be customisable by the user so any other such
problems could be more easily worked around.

There is an upstream bug about this:

Upstream says "you can specify the catalog name in the 'film' field." - does
that fix your issue?
