I20070321

While importing existing projects into the workspace (File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace), after pressing Finish, the modal wizard remains open and prevents to do any work while the projects are being imported.

There should be a 'Run in Background' button to let the import run in background.

There are currently no plans to work on this feature in 3.3

A Run in Background option would also be useful for File > Import > File System

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
