And you can mix that among different devices (partitions). I do remember that there was some module able to read Mac Filesystems, but I'm not sure in which state this is or how hard it is to make it work. Anyway, a filesystem developed for linux should be more efficient, so at some point I would suggest, you should change to this kind. FAT32 is supported by Linux; this is how we read the cards. But it is one of the least efficient solutions. > After an import to a Linux > darktable-application would then only the the > xmp data which were created by dt seen or > would the „old“ xmp data, especially all the > tags, of LR times reappear and so be > destroying all the lot of work, which would > make me reconsider a possible change. A file is a file. If the OS can access the file on the file system, you get the data that are in that file. If the Mac-port didn't introduce file format changes, all your data should be just fine. Most probably you will have to tell darktable where to find your data, though. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
