dt will see what your file system shows it. if your old system was /home/me/media why not set up your new system the same way, move the photos and accompanying xmp files from your old system to the new. Don't forget to move the old /home/me/.config/darktable/* to the new /home/me/.config/darktable/ (and maybe ~/.cache/darktable ) now dt sees the same thing on the new system as it saw on the old. You can safely use dt to put your photos in the order/location you prefer. *** this all assumes your new system locations match the old *** > Can I move folders ( recursively ) from within DT and keep the DB valid ? that is the preferred (safest/easiest) method assuming photo locations "currently" match the db. note: this is what I believe is the safest/easiest/sanest method. But there are *many* ways to skin a cat. -- (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 [email protected]
