box is way too sensitive, such that if you cleaned up spots too fast, it would kill darktable unmercifully. I have a Ryzen 3900X (12 cores, 24
Hi Ok, let's make a difference between one process (darktable) that is crashing, or the full "system" (computer). Darktable "crashes" do happen sometimes, to me as well. Not very often, and the last time it happened, it was my own fault, not enough memory and no swap space configured, so the kernel killed my process...
If darktable "crashes", hopefully we'll lose only data for the picture that we are working on at the moment of the crash. The xmp files for the other pictures hold all the information you need, and the db as well. This "crash" can be any ungraceful termination, a "kill -9" would suffice, if you want. That's "fine" for me. Using software is a risk. Always. Real problems (tm) occur if you machine crashes completely, for whatever reason. That should not happen. Even Windows does not crash every day any more (esp. when properly, i.e. not at all, used ;-) Best regards, Michael -- Michael Staats michael.sta...@gmx.de ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
