Another confusing issue in my mind is that zip file import is overloaded now in
the UI. It both is for asset importing *and* for full-media import. These are
very different operations, and you need to know what kind of zip file you have
to figure out what is actually going to happen. I think the UI should have two
separate parts, one for zip file import of assets, the other for full-media
import of full-media export files. Conflating the operations I think leads to
confusion.

Perhaps the import button should look more like the 'new' button in the UI with
a selection box, so you can get a special import dialog depending on what you
want to do: import full-media or import a zip file of assets. Each could present
its own import UI. Right now the import UI for full media is very confusion
as it offers two options which only apply to importing assets with zip files.
Once we get import options for full-media this will get even more confusing.
