you are very welcome and good luck. point, reinstalling an application *usually* does not remove/reset previous configuration files, just as removing an application *usually* does not remove configuration files. dt (on my openSUSE Tw) keeps "personal" files: ~/.cache/darktable/ ~/.config/darktable/ the database for your images would be ~/.config/darktable/library.db if you really wanted to rinstall dt and begin clean, you would need to: rm -rf ~/.cache/darktable ~/.config/darktable then reinstall darktable using the proper method for your distribution. on mine: zypper -v in --force darktable if I had the darktable rpm file locally, I could: rpm -Uvh --force darktable.xxx.rpm perhaps for you: apt-get --reinstall darktable note, this may also require "dpkg --purge" but I am not familiar enough with apt to say this is correct. someone else may offer the correct invocation. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
