Original description:
From Martin Olsson martin@minimum.se:
* When I select "Import from folder" on my homedir (which is 13GB with
tons of small files and tons of folders) the "Import From Folder" dialog
remains open for minutes while my HDD works intensely (I suppose it's
making a list of all the photos to import). It would be nicer if that
dialog disappeared before the HDD scanning starts (possible you're calling
hide early enough but maybe the GTK mainloop is not given time to process
that hide message?).

The Export dialog has the same issue as well for large exports.

- Priority set to High
This problem manifests itself in a couple of ways. As Martin pointed out, if I choose File->Import from Folder and choose a large directory such as my home folder, then when I press OK nothing seems to happen at all. That's not good. Furthermore, if I start a large import either using via File->Import or via drag and drop, then when I close the Shotwell window the Shotwell process does not exit for a long time. That's not good either.
Upping to high; it would be nice to fix this for 0.6 if we can.
