You make a valid point: I had not seen the section on how to activate
OpenCL in dt, so I had not read it. I now have and have discovered that
OpenCL is not available in my system. The second paragraph of section
10.2.3 in the dt manual lists the requirements for OpenCL to be
available to dt. I can understand none of it; it is well above my
technical knowledge level and, I suggest, well above the knowledge level
of a significant fraction of those dt users who are merely photographers
interested in editing their raw images. I find this emphatic anti
'non-technical-expert-user' characteristic of dt to be a frustrating and
recurrent barrier to its use and can see no way round it.
In this specific case I have to resign myself to restarting dt after
every import attempt, but this can't be right, surely ?

Not sure that I fully understand 'run from the command-line' to import a

errors, but it should be noted that I wouldn't know where to look for
them if there were any. I cannot tell if I am using OpenCL or not. A
comprehensive search on the internet returns NO 'hits' which discuss
OpenCL on Linux Mint 20, so I have no information on how to tell if
OpenCL is installed, or being used. I am using Linux Mint 20 driving an
nVidia GTX 645 OEM card, using driver nvidia-driver-455 version
455.38-0ubuntu0-20.04.1.
Iirc, the darktable manual has a whole section on openCL, and another on the
different start-up options. Did you read those?
Also, openCL isn't all that different from one Linux distribution to
another...
