+1. I've been annoyed by this many times. Worse, because photos that
have been "deleted" this way still show up on the camera, and because
earlier versions of F-Spot have not offered to delete photos after
import, I've made it a habit to delete the files in a terminal after
importing a batch from by camera, or using the camera's "delete all"
function. If the file *must* go to a Trash, it should go to the user's
general "trash!" a separate trash directory should not be created on the
medium.
