Import from multiple source directories

[ritzmann]

How about allowing to import from multiple sources? I would much rather point lazygal at a couple of existing directories with photos than first having to copy those all to a temporary directory just for running lazygal once.

lazygal follows symlinks which seems to address your usecase and many more: it makes it possible to put any directory whenever you want in the produced album. Does that work for you?

Sure that works, could actually make that explicit in the documentation? I think it still is not the most convenient way to do it because you need to manually create and afterwards delete these symlinks.

My opinion on this is that this will make the code even more complex for something less usefull than symlinks support. I actually leave the source directory with symlinks in my homedir as it does not take disk space and allows me to update the album. If you can come up with a simple patch that handle this, I'll integrate it. Meanwhile, I'll improve the documentation.

Thank you for the quick response!
