Make sure 'don’t use embedded preview JPEG but half-size raw' is disabled (so no raw processing happens on initial import): https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/preferences-settings/lighttable/#thumbnails If you have lots of RAM and a modern CPU, you may want to raise 'number of background threads'; see https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/preferences-settings/cpu-gpu-memory/ BTW, darktable can use the embedded JPG for full-screen preview - if an image has not been edited yet, this allows for quick review and culling. https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/lighttable/lighttable-modes/full-preview/ Kofa ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
