Sorry, but why not simply do things the RIGHT way?
I just put a SD-card into my card reader, plugged it in and darktable
immediately showed me the dialog 01 you see in the attachment.
"Import from camera" results in dialogs 02 and 03.
Files are COPIED to the folder on your PC according to your preferences.
Don't hold darktable responsible for you doing things wrong!!!

I hate when I mess up and start editing off of the card!

ye sir.... copy to disk and start editing is the only way that makes sense.

I wonder why on earth do some people absolutely want to import right from the
camera.
It is far slower and less safe than doing it by reading the card from a card
reader.
Safe : if the card falls on to the ground, it will not be the same as if it
were the camera.
Slower : I admit this is based upon my own observations with Nikon
1 v1, D700 and D4s conneted either via usb2 or usb3.
Plus, if I do not mistake, this just does import the pictures into
the database, so they will not be available anymore after unplugging the camera.
I think, together with others on this list, that the best is to
copy the files from the card to the disk, and then import them.
There are many tools that allow organizing while copying, most of
them have been listed in previous posts.
But you cannot import directly from SD-card. When doing this, the
photos remain on the SD-Card and the sidecar-files are written on the
SD-card. Sorry but this is a no-go.
The only practicable way is to copy the photos on the harddisk.
Yes, indeed.
And this is why I use /import/ through the 5 first lines, describing what I
think to be a database related operation (line 6), and then suggest to /copy/
the files to the disk as the most sensible thing to do.
