You make a comment in the code that is quite intelligent: that this makes a lot of sense with removable drives support. I had planned to add it when I added the folders view in the collect module, but at the end it didn't come into light. The thing is that the main reason for you not having the images in your laptop's HDD is lack of space. If you want to have access to them, you need something that is smaller than the originals, and more if we take into account images from 36Mpx sensors. So I think that storing a 2000px longest edge image would be enough. We could even export it at that size.
