[Digikam-users] Import images filter

[Sava Tatic]

Actually, I did follow Joern's advice, and everything seems to be in order. 
Digikam correctly associates noatun with the .avi files, and this without me 
altering any further settings.

I will report if I bump into any related trouble at a later stage.
