the work will (I believe) be within the xmp files.
1. check your db,
sqlite3 ~/.config/darktable/library.db "PRAGMA integrity_check"
2. if check fails,
sqlite3 ~/.config/darktable/library.db "VACUUM"
3. check your db again to see that "VACUUM" corrected failure.
4. if db is now ok,
use dt to remove the subject photos and reimport them. dt will
re-read the xmp files and you will have your edits.
5. if "VACUUM" did not correct your db, you may be relegated to removing
library.db and the reimporting your photos (all you wish to be in
dt db). you should still retain your edits.
gud luk,
