Hello,

[create a duplicate/style on export]

> What do you guys think about this?

I am not convinced that every export should add a duplicate or style since 
that would make working with darktable really unpleasant really fast since you 
can't find anything relevant in the piles of auto-generated things.

However, there might already be a hidden feature that could help you. First 
the deep explanation, short version at the end.

darktable stores all the changes to an image in XMP sidecar files. When 
exporting an image this very XMP data is also embedded into the exported image 
(provided the file format supports it). So every exported image already 
contains the settings used to get that image (styles applied during export 
might be missing, not sure, never tried that).

Another feature of darktable is the ability to load random XMP files from other 
images and apply the settings to the selected image. This is done in the 
"history stack" module in lighttable using the "load sidecar file" button.

Since loading of XMP files is done using libexiv2 which can also load XMP data 
from images you can "abuse" this button to load the settings used for an 
exported image and apply them again.

TL;DR:
Just load the exported image as a sidecar file in the "history stack" module 
and you get the old settings back.

Not exactly what you asked for and not as quick as a style, but it might help 
with accidentally destroyed/changed history stacks.

And it's good for curious people who want to peek over other users' shoulders 
and see what they did to an image. :)
