I use Google Picasa to organize my photos.  When editing a photo, in Picasa, a directory called .picasaoriginals is created.  This directory holds earlier versions of the edited photos.

When I used import_tree to populate my piwigo installation, the script saw the .picasaoriginals directories and inserted them into piwigo.  I did not want this to happen.

So, my request is a parameter that allows import_tree to ignore certain directory names.  Either a --omit paramter that specifies directory names or perhaps specifies a file name where the file contains the names of directories to omit.

In my case I manually edited the perl script and omitted any directory with .picasaoriginals in the name.  But, I know next to nothing about perl and would never submit my hacked up version.
