I have a bit of a strange setup with two machines (clients use Fedora 29, fileserver is Debian Stable) use for editing. I store my photos on my fileserver for the most part but I do keep a local copy on the desktop machine for speed and just as a cheap/easy backup.
I've noticed that more than a few times Darktable will lose edits but keep star ratings if I rsync to update the fileserver. On the laptop I use the create local copy and resync local copy functionality. Usually I rsync with the --avt --delete-after SOURCE DEST options. I've not lost any RAWs or the XMP files but it seems like sometimes if I move an edit from my laptop to the fileserver and then to my desktop in that fashion the edits will disappear somewhere along the way. I say "seems like" because I've only noticed this on months old photos when I got back for them. Keyword, star ratings and metadata is still present but it's back to its import state as far as edits go. I have yet to dig back into archives to see when/if it happened either. I can't 100% rule out me getting forgetful with a flag on rsync at some point but that seems unlikely as I have these things scripted. Anyone else "lost" edits after moving a RAW/XMP around? I've always kept Darktable versions the same between the two machines as well. Sorry for the nebulous problem description I'm still digging for clues myself. Thanks!
