darktable uses the settings in the library.db rather than the xmp files. If I use a different computer to work images with dt, I start: darktable --library :memory: and then import the files again to my workstation. if you are going to use a tool, you should learn about the tool.... the documentation is very good. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
