Hi Pascal, really interesting feature! You can see my comment inline:

In the 2th and 3th scenario your solution of course works! In the past I thought about to solve these scenario using several library files (as lightroom does) but in this case I need a UI to create, import (join) and move dt libraries. And a menu or a launcher to load a library instead of other. > *** How does it works: > [cut] > - the local copies are stored into: ~/.cache/darktable > > naming is: img-<imgid>-<md5-full-path-name>.<ext> > > => <imgid> will be quite handy to debug if something goes wrong > > - when accessing a picture, if not found on the original storage we > look into the cache. > > - when a picture is deleted, the cache file is deleted if any > > - when a picture is moved, the cache file is renamed if any > > I think that's all. I fear I have lost an important step here: when my storage is unavailable and I work on local cache copy, how to resync xmp sidecar file to the storage, when again available? Does the "remove" button sync back to remote storage? Is there a way to sync back without remove? Thanks again!
