Consider this scenario:

1) I create a new DB, empty
2) I go into media import
3) select all the parameters I need including: "link images to relative path"
4) click import


at this point the import fails with a warning because there's no DB saved and the program doesn't know what to make the path relative to. At this point you need to exit media import save it manually and re-set media import.

So rather than fail it (or give a warning) why don't you just prompt at that point of time, where to save the DB file on the filesystem and proceed with the import?

It would make sense to me, little thing but nice to have expecially for a newby

my 2 cents

It is maybe not so easy to do at that point...

Note for soulsnake: if added, a solution could be to pass to the import window a callback of the save function; but I do not know if there would be side effects by calling this code while another modal window is open.
