Hi James, thanks for your quick reply. The problem is that darktable creates XMP files for each and every imported photo. These files appear in typical file browsers (alphabetically in between the image files), which makes it harder to browse photos with these. In my case, I use a central photo repository on a NAS and not all users use darktable - and everyone who isn’t complains about the XMP files.
I understand why the files are created and find them a good idea. I just would like to have the option of hiding the files from others. Currently, I have to manually run chflags to hide them - it would be great to have darktable do that automatically. Regards Jonas > Am 22.11.2016 um 20:21 schrieb James C.
