Solved: Auto import a directory when a file arrives?

I know this thread is 6 years old. Was this ever addressed/resolved for Windows/Mac. I did search on this site and the general web and did not find if it was resolved.

When bouncing out to an external editor and then generating a new image file while out in that editor (crop version, edits, etc…)

…or, A workflow that involves dumping new folders/images into a central photo directory structure.

Darktable really needs functionality to watch and automatically import those images into darktable.

You can reference Picasa Folder manager functionality for a great model solution to this.

Thank you for any feedback or consideration.
