Import from F-Spot: timestamp taken from file not database

Description
Created attachment 293389 Firstly, if the plugin provides a title, use that
When importing from an existing F-Spot database, timestamps for photos are taken from the file's exposure time or modification time, and the 'time' column from the F-Spot database is ignored.
The 'time' column should be honored, as a photo collection is a curated set which may have had timestamps adjusted since originally being imported into F-Spot.
I ran into this myself, and it caused a significant portion of the file imports to get incorrectly timestamped.
Patches attached.
