When importing 'in-place', images that are already present in darktable are flagged and can be automatically excluded from the import. The same dialog is now used for importing from disk, card or camera. The new module allows you to see thumbnails of your images before import and makes it easier to handle multiple import tasks. De complete release notes kunnen hier worden gevonden, dit zijn de belangrijkste veranderingen die in deze uitgave zijn aangebracht: The Big Ones De software is beschikbaar voor diverse Linux-distributies, macOS en Windows.

Het ontwikkelen van de ruwe fotobestanden gebeurt door middel van zogenaamde sidecar files, waarbij de foto's op niet-destructieve wijze worden bewerkt. Het beheert digitale negatieven via een database. Darktable is een opensource-raw-fotobewerkingsprogramma, een virtuele lichtbak en donkere kamer voor fotobewerking. I could come up with a shell script using exiftool to read metadata and move files around accordingly, but surely there is a simpler way? In Lightroom this would have been trivial.Versie 3.6.0 van Darktable is uitgekomen. (Am I overlooking something?) But in any case, it would probably ignore sidecar files. Since gphoto2 apparently knows how to read metadata, I tried to use it to import from a folder rather than a camera, but it doesn't seem to have an option for that. And two, everything ends up in a folder with today's date. One, sidecar files are not imported but instead created anew. I tried to use the new copy & import feature in darktable, again with $(YEAR)/$(MONTH)/$(DAY) folder naming pattern, but this has two problems. That all works fine.īut how do I convert my existing library to this structure, while preserving the sidecar files ( *.XMP) containing my edits and metadata?

Subsequently I import the new photos into darktable. To use this new structure during import from camera, I'm using gphoto2 from the command line: gphoto2 -get-all-files -skip-existing -filename '%Y/%m/%d/%f.%C' Instead, I want to switch to a folder structure by date, like yyyy/mm/dd/*.CR2. I originally started out with a folder structure where my photos were grouped by 'event', but this proved limiting. I'm using darktable 3.6.0 and am still struggling to find a good workflow.
