sounds like you messed up your directory quite a bit. i don't think it's a good idea to export files to the same directory but whatever suits your workflow.
if you don't want a searchable library or for whatever reason can't maintain a persistent file structure on your disk start dt with `darktable --library :memory:' and it'll always forget everything.
