Others may have a more suitable or elegant answer, but I've been considering a similar proposition.... Which is to simply create a second user account on the Linux machine and run the unstable/development version of darktable under that account. Given that all the processing is stored in sidecar files, both user accounts (and therefore, both the stable and unstable releases) would be able to read the same folders and see the same sidecar files. I guess there might be issues when the stable release tried to look at sidecar files which were created in the unstable version. Thoughts? Cheers, Bruce Williams.

This raised the following question: Is there a possibility to have both versions installed on the same machine to run them independently from each other? Do they use the same profile - and more important: is there a way to let them operate on their specific profile? That would enable me (and possibly others) to do my work with darktable stable version and also run the development version from time to time - especially at this time of the year with the release candidates around - and help report bugs etc. -- regards Bernhard https://www.bilddateien.de ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
