I would not know why not. a bash script is *usually* not bound to a particular distro. > How can we determine if we need to run it at all or not? do you have many images in your library that are no longer available, ie: moved or deleted, and are unable to successfully deal with them? I have used the script but infrequently as I have been able to removed the few images by selecting them and deleting them from within dt. I am on openSUSE Tumbleweed running dt from git master -- (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]
