Just filed another bug report for f-spot: Bug 321596 - Importing should give the option to move the files. It really should be possible, to move the pictures on import and not only to copy them. As the pictures are stored in normal files on the hard drive, this doesn't seem too risky even in the current early state of f-spot. OK, doing a verify if the copy worked well would be very interesting before deleting the original (calculating a hash should be sufficient).
Speaking about enhancement, I watched some of the usability test videos at Better Desktop. I was a bit shocked, that the simple nice interface of f-spot doesn't seem to work in some respects. Four people were supposed to crop a picture and nobody succeeded! 3 found how to draw a rectangle (just draw it) but only one found the crop button. Unfortunately the one who found the crop button, was the one who didn't try just drawing the rectangle (she looked for a way to switch to a crop tool, like in Gimp maybe, and to use this to draw the rectangle). I think the buttons below the image are quite unusual. At least there should be a menu option under “Edit” to crop the image after a selection is made.
BTW, if I'm in edit mode, I don't need the time bar and the tag tree. It's just wasting space and if you click accidently there, you might even move away from the image you opened to work on (most probably).
