File Names on Import

[Maik Qualmann]

The [dir] option might behave differently since digiKam-8.0.0, we now rename 
the images after import so that the directory name is the current one 
imported. So the same behavior if you renamed manually after the import. The 
reason we do it is because after the import we have all the metadata 
available, so things like the date are correct.
