Is there any particular reason you want to import all the 500k images into the same database? You could have a library for each year, or month, or even photo session. If you need to do ligth edit before culling, you can use a temporary library just for those files (what I do), or even no library at all (--memory option) Best regards, Guillermo ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
