Think about this from a non-developer perspective. If I'm using a spreadsheet, and I import a CSV file, I'm actually making a copy of it, not simply referring to it. There are ways of creating a reference, such that the spreadsheet is updated when the reference is, but they're not called "import". But even from a developer perspective, if I'm doing database work, I think of data import as import by value, not by reference. > I would certainly see "open the folder" as far more confusing. But that's exactly what it does, if one looks at it from the standpoint of a file manager (Dolphin, Finder, what have you). ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
