Well, that article might just as well have been written in Mandarin Chinese. I’m just a businessman, trying to get product photos up on my website. I need software that I can install and it just runs. I’m not a computer programmer. I’ll find another solution. Darktable runs fine in Linux. I’d

I have a bit of a strange setup with two machines (clients use Fedora 29, fileserver is Debian Stable) use for editing. I store my photos on my fileserver for the most part but I do keep a local copy on the desktop machine for speed and just as a cheap/easy backup. I've noticed that more than a

I have often run several different versions of Darktable (manually-compiled) on my machine. Due to database incompatibilities between the major versions of Darktable, you either have to create a second user account as Bruce suggests, or use the '--configdir' command-line option to specify a

dirty hack that comes to my mind is you write a small tool (e.g. python script) that removes the "done" folder from the sqlite DB of darktable until you've finished your massive import (so they wont show in DT anymore). After that you can add them again. clean hack, you add a "done"-flag to the

It looks like that you are working with folders. Why don't you just rename your folders with your file manager. After renaming the folder is displayed crossed out. Right click on it, search folder and your pictures are back. Am 10.12.18 um 16:25 schrieb kneops: Hi Matej, I meant sometime
