 This was discussed for shapefile vectors at:

 This chould be enabled for vector and raster files.
 Examples:

 - Import all landcover vector files from a folder

 - Import all SRTM ASC/TIFF files from a folder

 a nice option would be if one could run ogr2ogr/v.patch or
 gdal_merge/r.patch while importing to generate a mosaik of all the tiles
 within the folder with the same step.

 This should also be implemented for the GUI.
