". It just so happens it's only one of the few "well-known directories"
that Shotwell defines."

I'm surprised at this assumption. DCIM (and filename rules) are part of
now-ancient standards for digital cameras:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_system

Mobile phones with cameras have by long convention also offered this
filesystem layout. My current iOS 9 device still does this, for example.

This is nothing to do with Shotwell's preferences.

  Default mount points not suitable for photo import

Bug description:
  When I plug my Ubuntu Phone into my desktop I want to be able to
  import photos easily into my photo manager of choice (Shotwell in my
  case but others are available apparently). The photos should be
  available via a "DCIM" folder, but they're in "Photos" which Shotwell
  doesn't find. While I could use the "Import from folder" and navigate
  my way to Photos, I'd rather it Just Worked.

  Could we export photos over the "standard" DCIM folder to make this
  easier for everyone?
