Makes sense.

Regarding the importers usage. We are actually also adding a top link
to the webclient with a custom webstart file starting specifically the
importer.

The steps to reproduce are (from the webclient):
- Select dataset (with over 50 individual images)
- Right click dataset and press Delete.

Observe that the dataset is removed from the DOM, but no spinner is
added to the Activity icon indicating activity.

The images are JPEG images.

Interesting, I hadn't observed this before.
