Hey all Darktable is a phenomenal project, and I couldn't be happier once my photos are loaded in the DB and I have some local copies for the road. However, getting my photos to that point is quite cumbersome. I have a NAS where I store all my photos, and the steps I follow to get my photos into darktable are
1) copy the photos from my memory card to my laptop 2) sort them by date taken, and upload the folders to my NAS 3) open darktable and import the new folders 4) close darktable and use darktable-generate-cache to create some thumbnails 5) open darktable and create local copies of the new photos that I want to work on Having a command to import images from a folder would let me automate this completely, so I could plug my memory card into my laptop, run a single command, let it run for however long it needs, and come back to photos that are sorted, saved, and ready to go. A command named darktable-import with an option to create local copies of the new images would be perfect for me. I couldn't find anything that does this, and wanted to open the discussion here. Is this something others might find useful? ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
