lua storage to user communication

Software darktable
1

Hello,

is there a way for a storage (lua script) to tell darktable that a processing error happened?
Or is there a way i can directly tell the user that something broke and he has to take some action? darktable.print tends to be overlooked easily.

In a perfect world store() would allow me to stop processing the remaining images and tell the user to a either fix his network or enter a new one-time-password or do something about his quota.

Regards, Uwe

In 3.8 you’ll also be able to use the hinter and toast messages to communicate. You could blink the storage module by manipulating the lib visibility setting a few times.
