you apparently *only* deleted the photo file and not the db entry within darktable. dt does not rescan directories to see if file have been moved or deleted or renamed. use darktable to delete the file rather than some other app. this way dt removes the file from it's database and the cache. to correct your current situation, tell/use dt to remove the image. ps: I didn't trim your quotes as you don't feel it necessary. -- (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]
