Hello,
I wanted to give it a try as my first step in learnig lua scripting.
Moved my db to another place.
Created a file named Import.in into ~/.config/darktable and containing the
following lines :
local darktable = require("darktable")
importDirs = function()
darktable.database.import("/media/jean-luc/NEF/20081207")
end
importDirs()
Created a file named luarc into ~/.config/darktable and containing the
following line :
require "~/.config/darktable/Import.in"
Launched darktable, and... nothing. :-(
What did I do wrong ?
Regards,
J.-Luc

For a one-off, one just has to make a Lua script with an import line for each
folder one wants to import

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]. The mass-import will then run when Darktable starts up, after
which the script can be removed.
