I have a NetBeans module containing hundreds of Java Data Source Ingest Modules. I am using Data Source Ingest Modules since I know the exact names and locations of the files I am parsing. Autopsy appears to only run 1 Data Source Ingest Module at a time in a serial fashion. Is there no way to have Autopsy run them in parallel for a performance boost?
