Why do you have to do this manually? It would be much better UX if Darktable could have a cache of the last N (configurable number) rendered images, automatically. /Mikael On 2020-10-10 23:50, Matt Maguire wrote: Are you aware of the darktable-generate-cache command?

Thankyou Kofa for pointing me to further instructions and information. The Culling mode has some nice functions. I wish they were more intuitive but more on that in future. Also in future I might be able to help write clearer, more succinct instructions for darktable. Alas my flashing problem

Are you aware of the darktable-generate-cache command? https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/overview_chapter.html#darktable_generate_cache_commandline_parameters On my slow laptop with no discrete GPU, using arrows to move between single photos on lighttable results in a brief flash if the

Thanks Matthew, Chris and others, I've dedicated more time to solving this. "Snapshots" (or what I would call the "Compare" section where a person can "Take snapshots") looks useful. I regret that it doesn't suit the use-case where a person simply needs to go through the photos in a
