import from script?

aconstnull
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

Just started using digikam - absolutely love it! Finally able to say
good-bye to the mac!

Quick q:
I'd like to be able to import files auto-magically somehow - for e.g.
from a script. Use case is that my wife will take photo's on her
phone, and I'd like a 'one click' import to our album (otherwise,
it'll never happen
So I run a share on my linux box, and I'd like to poll some directory
every few hours, and import photos via whatever script I end up writing.

Anywhere in particular I should start looking? Is this even possible?
Had a google on importing via script, but didn't find anything
massively obvious.

Many thanks in advance for any help,

Dave

Ok - I'm an idiot :)
Looks like digikam auto-scans - so just copying to the album folder
seems good enough!
Awesome!

If you are looking for something to move files from the phone to a
album, you might want to consider btsync. Seems to work well once setup.
