As a Linux-centric application, Darktable sees only one drive *as* a drive -- all other drives are represented as folders.
After you have opened the import dialog, in the left-hand bar above "Other Locations" there should be a folder icon with just a slash next to it. If you click that, you should see a list of folders including one named 'Volumes'. Open that and you should see your external drives. -- August Schwerdfeger [email protected] On Tue, Apr 10, 2018 at 9:42 AM, ktbgud <[email protected]> wrote: > I am running Darktable 2.4.2 > > Ka Tai > > > > > On 10 Apr 2018, at 22:39, ktbgud <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > The external drives are visible, They are connected via usb3.0. > > > > I have used them with Lightroom for years.
