script ???
you must start dt from the command line using the command I provided but
changed to fit the way you named the config directories. the following
command line invocations will accomplish that,
darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-3.4
darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-master
and library.db and data.db will be in the *correct* directories.
there is no script involved and any script that you used probably did not
have any idea of where you placed your new config directories. it was
probably coded to default to the normail installation location, ie:
~/.config/darktable
again, to start and use darktable master version, invoke darktable from
the command line as:
darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-master
to use darktable version 3.4:
darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-3.4
note: using "-" in directory or file names is ill advised and asking for
problems.
about "alias", your ~/.bashrc must provided for it and more, another
subject for another time. please for now, forget it.
the commands above may be placed in scrpts to make it easier to call. I
can help with that if you wish.
