Import Old Bird Clips

Imports short audio files created by the Old Bird Tseep and Thrush detectors into a Vesper archive.

This command searches each of the specified directories recursivaly for audio files (currently just .wav files). For each audio file it finds, the command tries to parse information about a clip from the file's path and contents, and if successful imports the clip into the archive. The command copies each imported audio file into the archive, so if you subsequently delete the original file it will have no effect on the archive.

The command adds recordings to the archive as needed to cover the nights for which clips are imported. Each recording extends from 8:30 pm to 5:30 am on its night, and has one channel. The created recordings have no audio data, only metadata.

You can specify default directory paths via the import_old_bird_clips_defaults preference. The start and end dates are each optional.
