I'd be perfectly happy to get rid of the database and use sidecar
files exclusively at least as an option. I prefer a different tool
for managing my image collection (KPhotoAlbum) and just use dt for
image processing.
Maybe if you use ":memory:" as a library it would work for you.
man darktable
--library <library file>
darktable keeps image information in an sqlite database for fast
access. The default location of that database file is
"$HOME/.config/darktable/library.db". You may give an
alternative
location, e.g. if you want to do some experiments without
compromising your original library.db. If the database file
does
not exist, darktable creates it for you. You may also give
":memory:" as a library file in which case the database is
kept in
system memory - all changes are discarded when darktable
terminates.
I cannot advice on how to tie it with KPhotoAlbum ... but you can import
an image, process it and then remove it. (the Darktable DB works well
for me - in majority of cases)
Regards,
B
