I have inserted a copy of the script into the .config/darktable/lua folder and added a require line into the luarc file ..... what further do I need to get this running? All rather new to me!!

I created contrib/export2collection.lua that adds a new exporter, file to collection. The selected images are exported, then imported back into the collection and grouped with the original images. All tags, except the darktable ones, are copied over as well as any ratings. The pull request has been submitted to get it into the script repository. In the meantime you can get it from https://github.com/wpferguson/lua-scripts/blob/export2collection/contrib/export2collection.lua

    There is no reload. It's called re-import.
    Feel free to google the differences.

    Until/unless the image is imported into the darktable's library,
    darktable
    does not know anything about it. If you want to see such an image,
    you need to import it.

    How?
    Lua can add export formats. I'm sure it is possible to adapt one
    of the existing
    scripts at https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts
    <https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts> to re-import
    after export.
    (basically by running  $ darktable <exported file>  if there is dbus,
    it will iimport
    the image in the current darktable instance.)
