Hi Terry, The OP was asking how to open an image in dt without adding to the dt library. Is that possible in Windows, its certainly can't be done in Linux without modifying the darktable executable. Thus the advice to create a bash script to call darktable with the --library :memory: option. O

If I have a single image (RAW or DNG) located anywhere on my system I can, by simply clicking on it, open it for processing in dt as a single image. I do not like doing this since it, in my opinion, messes up the data structure of dt but in fact it works. On 2021-07-16 3:34 p.m., Terry Pinfold
