Hello Hanatos,
I already tried my first importing on the dataset of the last year:
in iPhoto my photos are stored on a yearly basis followed by a daily
basis (e.g. 2016/31.10.2016/00001.NEF).
So when I am importing the folder 2016 recursively I will get as many
filmrolls as there are folders in 2016 with the names of the folders. It
would be very nice if the dates would be replaced by the names that I
used in iPhoto. In iPhoto these names are stored in a sqlite3 database.
I think when I would write a small programm I could receive the names
per folder from that database. But how do I tell darktable "please
import this folder and use this name"or "please import this folder use
this name and use this geo-location"
Most of picuters are RAW (I'm using an old Nikon D50). Additionally
there are many photos I did before I figured what RAW is :-) and a
photos from the iPhone (all JPG)
importing 2000 pics worked in less than 3 minutes. I think performance
is not a problem here.
When I'm calling darktable using a folder as parameter you say it will
import this folder. What will be the name of the filmroll? Can I set it
manually?

Hi everybody,
I've been using Apples iPhoto since its beginning. I think now its the time
to move to a better system like darktable.
As I'm really familiar with iPhoto now, so maybe I just do not understand
the mechanism how photos are arranged in darktable:
I tried to import the "Originals" folder from my iPhoto-Library, but I do
not get a clou how I can use the filmroll concept in a usefull way....
I think the filmrolls do have the meaning of events in iPhoto.. right?
hm. i have no idea about iphoto, so can't tell.
So what can I do to import my library to darktable? Is there a way to create
filmrolls from the cli? I think I could manage to acquire the information
from the sqlite3.db of iPhoto when using ruby. How can I apply further data
(e.g. the modified fotos) to darktable.
you can import recursively (there's a checkbox for that if you're
importing with the dt gui).
may i ask what kind of pictures that is? all jpg? different raws?
recursive import can be very slow on big collections and be very
frustrating if there is one corrupted picture that crashes the whole
process.
What I'm searching for is a shell-command like:
darktable-import --filmroll <xxx> --modified <yyy> --geotag <zzz> <list of
files>
no clue what your options there suggest in terms of functionality. you
can call darktable with a folder as argument, it will be imported.
cheers,
jo
