For a one-off, one just has to make a Lua script with an import line for
each folder one wants to import
local darktable = require("darktable")
importDirs = function()
darktable.database.import("/path/to/folder1")
darktable.database.import("/path/to/folder2")
...
end
importDirs()
and then place the script in the Lua script directory and add a 'require'
statement to load it, as described in the instructions in the 'lua-scripts'
repository [1] <https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts>. The
mass-import will then run when Darktable starts up, after which the script
can be removed.
