Just loaded 105.8Gb in two folder, 8315 images in 3233.8 seconds. So it definitely solved the problem (avoided the glitch).

Set CPU Core allocation midway and it seems to be loading a new batch of folders, this time over 300Gb. However, it popped up a window with a progress bar but it disappeared so fast I couldn't get a screen grab. Activity shows it is working, though.

No crash reports for any Import attempt. Apparently when it hangs and I cancel the process it just politely quits.

And yes, another "duh-o" event. Of course the Import is a background event. And of course you can't create a background process for a background process.

I have a vague recollection, though, that a UNIX daemon can fork a child and grandchild...but those neurons last fired maybe a half century ago so I'm not sure it's even relevant.
