Patrick,
Thanks for the info, although I don't know how to create an alias. Do those
commands go inside the bash script?
Also, I followed your advice to create folders inside .config (except I
called them darktable-3.4 and darktable-master) and then point the bash
scripts to those folders.
But when I launch darktable 3.4 from the bash script, it creates new
library.db, data.db etc in .config/darktable (not the folder
.config/darktable-3.4)
Cheers,
Bruce Williams

move ~/.config/darktable
to   ~/.config/darktable.34
and copy to
     ~/.config/darktable.35

then call darktable version 3.4 as
     darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.34
and version 3.5 as
     darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.35

and I would create aliases rather than the long command lines.

alias dt34='darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.34'
alias dt35='darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.35'

should accomplish what you desire

note that you will start with matching configurations, only differences
will show after you start using
