Description
The term "importing" is slightly confusing and does not say what it means. It could be putting them into a data bank, converting them so a particular app can read them, copying them to a place chosen by the system...
It turns out, it means copying them to a place of your choice on the harddisk.
But it should also say that.
The term "album" is equally ambiguous and should be replaced with a description of what actually happens.

I think the rational behind using import photos is because it is a common wording used by camera software. Anyone that has Windows or Mac experience WRT cameras will be familiar with the wording.

I agree with this idea. The one thing I wondered when playing around with Ubuntu and my mother's camera, was "will this delete the photos on the camera?" I don't know what Windows software does because I don't have experience with it. I think this is an opportunity to make a tiny change that takes away a lot of stress and uncertainty.
