SUMMARY
Hello

For import of images the field "Date-format" is validated also in cases it is not needed.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click Import -->  Add Images... and after selecting a directory the dialog "images found" is displayed.
2. On right area there is a subarea "Auto creation of Albums". Suppose "Date-based subalbums" has "Date-format" == "custom", but the corresponding input-field is empty.
3. Uncheck "Date-based Subalbums" and click on Download to start the import.

OBSERVED RESULT
Now the date-format is validated and because of the empty field an error message is displayed (although "Date-based Subalbums" is unchecked).


EXPECTED RESULT
I think it would be better to validate this field only in case of it is really needed.
