In my workflow I find myself using multiple machines to work on the same images. My configuration right now on both machines is to have DT look for updated xmp files on start up and that seems to work pretty well. I usually just ignore the window that pops up to tell me about newer xmp files, unless the ones that I'm about to work on are listed, then I select those and let it update the database.
However, there have been some situations where my previous work has been wiped out when opening a folder on another machine. Because of this, I now habitually copy all my xmp files to a subfolder after working on them in order to keep a back up, just in case. Occasionally I need to manually load these sidecar files. Would an option to disable darktable's database and use just the xmp files be a feasible option? How about using something like syncthing (Linux platform here) to keep the database synced between multiple machines? Would doing that cause any foreseeable issues? How are other people dealing with using multiple machines to work onprojects, any tips? Thanks.
