Thanks for your response Terry,
Because of my particular handling of my data, I have to wade through a
long list of strikeouts to find a collection. Maybe a resync button
would be effective, at least the list would always be clean. Then again,
I expect that most people do not move their data around.

Hi Andrew,
I understand your concern. The way to delete these collections
you no longer want is to go to the collection and select all the
images which will possibly appear as a skull. Then use the option to
remove all the photos, which will not delete the images from your
computer. The trash function is capable of deleting the images from
your hard drive but not the remove function which only removes them
from the collection. When the collection is empty it will then
disappear. Very simple once you get use to the way it works.

*Subject:* [darktable-user] The new import process
Hi all,
I really preferred the import process in DT 3.4, maybe it is just my
workflow that needs a change.
After any use of my camera I upload the images to my computer as soon
as possible, to my Working folder on a solid state drive for speed.
After I have finished processing all of my images I Export images to
my Google Drive and, having done that I move the RAW files to storage
on my RAID drive. And then, the next time I want to access a folder
of RAW images I have to navigate to my RAID drive and import them
again, which I expect to do.
What I have found out today is that I have a lot of collections with
lines like an editing "strike out" so I thought that I would see if I
could remove one, and then I received a warning dialogue, asking me if
I wanted to remove the collection from DT and fully delete them from
the computer, or not. The whole thing felt fraught with danger.
Obviously I elected not to delete from the computer, but because my
RAW files were now in a different place I guess that DT would have no
idea where they were to delete in any case.
Also I miss the file manager search field in DT, it was so easy to
find all the shoots with a model very quickly. My subjective view is
that DT file management is not as friendly as it was.
