OK... this is what I got :   jean-luc@E-5530:~$ darktable -d lua 3,965593 LUA ERROR : /home/jean-luc/.config/darktable/luarc:1: module '~/.config/darktable/Import.lua' not found:     no field package.preload['~/.config/darktable/Import.lua']     no file

Re: [darktable-user] Is there a way to bulk import many folders at once?

If the "import directories recursively" checkbox in the import dialog does not fit your bill, the 'darktable.database.import' Lua function (https://www.darktable.org/lua-api/index.html#darktable_database_import) can import a folder. If you have a text file with a list of the folders you want to

Is there a way to bulk import many folders at once rather than importing one folder at a time manually? Eg bulk import from the command line or LUA script or darktable feature I'm not seeing? Thanks. darktable
