[Shotwell] Import to external harddisk

[Peter Puk]

My mother, currently switched to Ubuntu (9.10) uses F-Spot to manage her 
photo's. She uses an external harddrive to store all the photos. But 
F-spot is very slow with more then 5000 pictures and lacks the ability 
of deleting the imported photo's from the camera.

Therefore i found shotwell as an alternative. While it works much 
faster, is saves the photo's to ~/Images. I couldn't find an option to 
import them on the harddrive, which is needed because the internal 
harddrive isn't big enough.

Is there a possibility to import them to the external harddrive?
