Hi,
Darktable is probably the best raw editor/photo organizer available,
unfortunately it's not the most crash free software in the world. For my
tastes it crashes way too often, especially if crashing means losing all
the editings you were previously doing. It just crashed after an hour+
editing of a single shot. After I reopened darktable its database was
corrupt and the history of my last shot completely gone. Instead of asking
me "hey, the metadata in your XMP file is completely different from the one
in the database, do you want me to overwrite it?" it simply overwrote the
XMP file with garbage db metadata, losing all my edits. It should ask
before overwriting, possibly with a checkbox to make a backup copy. Even
better, it could show me a preview of both images, the one developed with
the metadata from the db and the one from the XMP file, asking me if I want
to reimport the image or simply overwrite the XMP file.
Bests,
Niccolò Belli
