Hello Forum,
I am really be interested in setting up an auto import script to LNDB that is triggered when a new .dat file is added to a specific folder. Anything like that in the pipeline or does anyone know of a convenient hack to get the job done?
The LNDB team has noted this request for consideration in a future version (i.e. the plan is to add command line import functionality in a future LNDB implementation).
In the mean time, the ability to watch for a file dropped in a folder would require a separate application.
You would have to create your own app that monitors specific directories for newly added files, and drives the DBImport UI to import the files. This could be done with an automated UI scripting language like AutoIt/AutoHotKey/etc. If you haven't used something like that before, it might be an involved project.
