It's possible to use Darktable purely as a picture development engine
that you point at a directory, but it currently requires some hacks
to make it work well. The core problem with the current setup is that
module presets and styles are stored in the same database as picture
information is, and to use Darktable as a file browser you must get rid
of that in-database picture information. If you don't have presets and
styles, the simple way is to run DT with an in-memory database, which
obviously isn't saved on exit.
(If you do want to have presets and styles, well, there are hacky
workarounds. My current approach is to run Darktable via a script
that uses sqlite3's command line tools to delete the picture info
while leaving the rest of the DB intact.)
