Hello,
I made a patch to give some solution to this TOO OLD bug (I'm the author of upstream proposed patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329040#c11). I consider this bug a showstopper, but f-spot developers are clearly ignoring it (and A LOT of duplicates...), so I decided to propose my patch in the hope it can become at least an Ubuntu-only one (as per the import directory chooser, somehow superseded by my patch).
So in attach the patch suitable for a package rebuild. You can find binary packages in my PPA https://launchpad.net/~meden/+archive/ppa ; suggestion and patches are welcome.
As a side note, packages in the PPA also include the patch from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340903#c13 , which mitigates another f-spot long-standing showstopper (IMHO...) bug which causes EXIF time arbitrarily changed to UTC, leading to a (form of) data corruption if the option "Write metadata to files" is set (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340903).
I hope to be useful.
