Hello,
heic/ heif images are not listed in dt import dialog (only Raw files,
jpeg, tiff, png, ..)
I have installed libheif and can open heic images in gimp.
I'm running fedora 36 and darktable 4.0.

I imported 25 images yesterday directly from my camera card

but the first image on the roll was displayed 25 times and whenever I

I found this post:

which suggest using exiftool to extract XMP from DNG files:
exiftool -ext dng -ext DNG -xmp -b -w xmp [dir]
I tried it on a folder of some images and it did extract XMP files, but

Is it possible to import metadata and development from DNG files from
Adobe Lightroom? (Like you can do from XMP sidecar files.)
It seems like Lightroom refuses to write XMP sidecar files for DNG,
instead it embeds that data into the DNG files.

Not true. A copy of a CSV import into a spreadsheet is not made until the user
executes the "Save As" command. At least that is true of the five different

This is an update after a few days of intense, all-day, reading and

going to write here is at considerable length and will not be well

I agree with Jason. Respectfully, I feel Tony is expecting the import
function to copy and place the images from the card onto his computer. This
is his interpretation of what import means and many would expect this as
other programs use the term import to describe such actions. However, DT's
actio
Agreed, "open folder" is an inaccurate description for the import operation.
However, there might be some greater distinction made between the
'gphoto2'-based device import, which does move images according to the
patterns in the session options, and the other two, which leave them in
place.

My (limited) understanding of the import function of darktable is that it's not for effectively copying images from one location to another (i.e., from a camera memory card to a hard disk) but rather for copying details about images which exist on some medium (e.g., a hard disk). Such t
