Will have a look at it I thought I could use the cli, but obviously it seems only to be meant to export photos, not for the purpose I need, according to the intro : "This binary starts the command line interface variant of darktable which allows exporting images." The list has been created, as I used it to ensure the files would be in the right order on the disk, since I thought DT relied on this to import the files. But, obviously, it seems to read them randomly, with no logical scheme.
