You can import a descriptor into Sparrow, but I don't believe you can import a wallet.dat file. It doesn't make too much difference, but the descriptor will just have onchain info, while your wallet.dat file might include labels. It is still a little sad that there isn't a good standard for Bitcoin wallet info that most popular wallets support. I guess seed words or descriptors are about as close as we get.

yes, i thought about that. Perhaps I am wrong, but I thought a wallet.dat file in Core did a little more than labels (as in, you don't need to rescan the chain if you load a wallet.dat file) - but I might be wrong.

Can't you manage your Core wallet from Sparrow or any other wallet app?
I always assumed the wallet feature was just a relic from the days when core nodes were mining and validating blocks on the same machine.
