I doubt this is an existing functionality. If you are comfortable with shell programming you could try this:
- Go into core options and enable: "look for updated xmp files on startup" https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/core_options.html This will make the next startup very slow and may find other "out of synch" xmp files around. It won't make any changes unless you say so later. - close darktable - grep the xmp files to find the ones with the module - use xmlstarlet or something like that to add a "darktable tag" ("dc:subject" block) or a color ("darktable:colorlabels") Of course do this on a couple of test files first and triple check the result. Have the script making a backup copy of the xmp too (only if a backup is not already there). - start darktable and choose to reload the recently modified xmp files from the dialog you'll see - now you can search and sort your files from darktable - now you can disable the "look for updated xmp files on startup" If you want something simpler, from the root of all your images folders: mkdir xmp_export grep -lr --include="*.xmp" 'darktable:operation="YOUR_MODULE"' | sed 's/.xmp//' | xargs -I% bash -c "cp --parents %* xmp_export/" This will find all the matching xmp and corresponding images and copy them into the export folder (keeping the folder structure). It's a different thing, but if you just want to have a quick look at the situation this will work. One last thing, to "remove" a module from DT history I do this, similar to what Remco wrote: - deactivate the module - compress history - select the history line just below the deactivated module (the second one) - compress history yes, it's horrible. BTW, I think compress history should do this automatically (I mean removing modules that are off).
