I also run Dt on a ten years old system, (AMD Phenom II X6), but with a few
upgrades, (4GB nVidia GTX 760, and a 4×2TB HDD RAID5 SATA III storage, 1TB
SSD SATA III system drive, 32 GB 1,333MHz DDR3 RAM), and it runs fairly
fast under Ubuntu 20.04. Also, 66MHz PCI 2.1 bus. The GPU is PCIe 3.0
I had hoped that the advice given 'below' might have made my use of a
preset's 'auto apply' property deliver predictable results. It does, but
only in the sense that in my DT installation I can predict that for
newly imported folders, never previously imported into DT, the 'auto
apply' preset
Ah! Excellent; there is some technical advice here, which looks directly
relevant, that I had never seen in print before. Thanks.

3.0.2 is the latest release. Also, the versions compiled from master
are quite stable (the developers say 3.2, to be released in August,
will be much
Last week I updated to Linux Mint 20 and with it came DT version 3.0.1.
Now I can't add tags. I can attach/detach tags, but not type new ones in
that field.
Also the module seems to be a little too wide, a button is hiding behind
the scrollbar.

Without wishing to be thought ungrateful for the time you have given me,
I do feel compelled to comment (having read the documentation exhaustively):
'Ask for update image by open in darkroom': this does not update the
image in my installation of DT unless and until I turn on the monochrome
I have done that - in fact spent about 5 hours in total doing it. The
conclusion is that I can determine no consistent pattern of behaviour -
the auto apply conversion to monochrome is, for my environment and for
knowledge/experience level, quite simply unpredictable and unknowable,
but mostly
Start fresh:
* remove images from the library
* enable "don't use embedded JPEG preview" preference
* remove darktable cache while it's not running:
rm -Rf ~/.cache/darktable
* remove XMP files for images you want presets to be auto-applied on (we
assume they weren't developed so far)
