No, and using anything from the database is certainly not advised. If I ever find the time I will probably rewrite dt-cli to not use a database at all and maybe even skip the usage of dt_init() so that the --core would go away, too. That is all just slow and bloat. That tool isn't meant to be a remote control of darktable (using --core --library ~/.config/darktable/library.db you could even import images from the command line without having a running dt around) but a tool that can be used like convert: take an image + an XMP and process it. No styles, no presets, no database magic. > There does appear to be the creation of some temporary tables done when the > database is opened by the gui, but are these tables required in the cli? > > Kevin Tobias [...]
