Indeed, I had that issue in mind. But then what would be a good file
name in this case? Photos imported by shotwell and f-spot are named as a
sequential number.

Exporting a selection of photos (that may or may not be under a same tag
in shotwell) will create a directory with a bunch of files whose numbers
are mostly meaningless numbers.

Sugestions?
