First up, this is a question more for the darktable-user list, not the
dev list.
But now that we're here...
No, dt does not offer the ability to remove files from the memory card.
And conventional wisdom says you really shouldn't wipe your memory card
with your computer either. Ideally, you would wipe it from your camera.
Also, it's not a good idea to ever partially wipe a card (not sure if
you were doing that or not) either, as that leaves a fragmented storage
unit which will mean at some point, your camera is having to split an
image up across multiple areas of the card.
just want to add an aspect that has not yet been mentioned here:
Deleting images from the SD card using a file manager or similar tool
can bring the SD card into an inconstant state. Some cameras (e.g. Sony
cameras) maintain some database files in parallel to the image files,
which get corrupted when images are erased by other means than deleting
the images in-camera.
Therefore, I always delete images in-camera only. When I am running out
of storage, the oldest images are deleted in-camera via a bulk delete.
Keeping images a while on the SD card (and not formatting the card)
gives me kind of a backup of my most recent images.
Regards,
Heiko
