Re: [darktable-user] Help! I screwed up

[Ralph Venté]

This works for me on 2.0 and requires that you don't use groups for
organisation:
Group files (the 'G' on the top right of the light table view, which
collapses duplicates into one group)
Control + A (selects all, it only selects the first image in the group)
Ungroup (press the 'G' again to ungroup)
Control + I (invert selection)
all your duplicates should now be selected and you can now delete them.

hope this helps

p.s. this is my first contribution on the mailing list so I really hope I
didn't just make a fool of myself by not understanding the problem :p

Now its a bit late but think about moving to btrfs filesystem or zfs which is 
btrfs big brother. 
Snapshots do not replace backup but are extremly  cheap. 
Create a script that takes a snapshot before it starts DT or simply create a 
snapshot every 5 mins and delete after 1 hour or a day.

We are talking about 1900 spread over 5 film rolls/directories.

I did a backup of the database yesterday at 1pm (actually every day,
a rolling backup of the db for 10 days). 

So what about:

1. delete the _01.cr2.xmp files
2. restore the db
