Soo, current master includes a recursive adding a directory and its files, and a option for not including jpegs files, which is good if you shoot raw+jpeg...
Release 0.7 would include this and if you run unstable PPA you have this option now..
I asked in the #darktable IRC channel on Freenode and it's currently not implemented yet, but it's on the TODO-list. It's probably very easy to implement but the core developers are currently working on some other features that require their skills.
If you know a bit of C++ programming, or you know somebody who wants to help with it, it's probably less than a day's work to implement this and contribute it to the project...
i'm one of the developer for darktable, and i have the same "problem" with my f-spot library of images, the best way to do this migration is to use a script wich can migrate the library including the tags/colorlabels and migrating into the storage structure defined in darktable camera import dialog.
i know that someone have started to work on a script for lightroom migration but i dont know the status for it, and im probly the one who makes the f-spot migration script..
A general note on migrating a library to Darktable:
For example F-Spot structures like this:
~/Pictures/2010/10/19/IMG_1234.CR2
Now Darktable uses the top level directory as the filmroll name "19" in that case, which would easily conflict. So I'd recommend a directory tree like so:
~/Darktable/2010/20101019_ShortEventDescription/IMG_1234.CR2 (or even PMJ_20101019_1234.CR2 in my case).
In this case your filmroll would be called "20101019_ShortEventDescription" which is quite unique and a bit descriptive of the contents...
In Darktable 1.1 when importing a folder, you can expand "import options" and check the "import directories recursively" option.
