The problem is that there are a number of files that dt does not like and in a mass import it is impossible to see where the problem is located. For instance a raw file may have been deleted but the xmp file remains ... dt crashes without warning or a corrupted file somewhere in the many thousands ... again the system goes down. If all of my work over time had been done on dt things would been much easier but 'foreign' types of xmp and other files creates a legacy problem.

Why don't you just import the folder containing those 12 years of work?

    After a new build on my system I find that I need to individually
    reindex each of my folders so as to avoid dt memory shutdowns. This is
    an enormous job covering 12 years of my digital work.

    Would it be possible to have dt do an independent background
    indexing of
    an entire collection without the necessity of displaying images?
    Just running something like "darktable -reindex ~/Pictures" possibly.

    Another thought it would be really convenient if the .db file was
    located along with the collection where it could be a part of the
    backup
    of the specific image set.
