Hajo - thanks. I had no idea such an app existed. I'll look into it.

Cheers

"Loose integration", to me in Linux, could mean a 2nd window which has buttons such as "check in", "revert", "check out", etc. That window is already implemented -- it's called "revision control GUI" and is a standalone app :-) ALT-TAB switches quickly between darktable and the GUI.

Thanks Micha,

your comments are much appreciated. I agree that the 'loose integration' you outline would be the best approach.

I'm not sure if I want to add to the complexity of my workflow by introducing another system at this stage. I think maybe as a temporary fix I'll manually add the version number on export rather than use $(VERSION), and then work out a more reliable method for the longer term.

Regards

Hi,
 
but please not a deep integration. E.g. I use a program (CAD) where users kept asking for revision control integration. I use mercurial a long time with this, not integrated. And then they integrated SVN, including binaries. :-( Later git was added but nothing configurable.
 
Better would be to have most important actions (init, add (or add all XMPs), commit, maybe push) as shortcuts or in a panel and for more complex actions a link to a dedicated tool or shell. For mercurial that would be TortoiseHg Workbench. And all should be configurable so everyone could use the favorite system and dt can concentrate on its main task.
 
Just what I think about that.
 
BR, Micha.

Thanks Hajo

My first thought on your suggestion is the revision control system would need integrating with darktable somehow.

I'll think on this a while.

My workflow needs to keep track of which raw version each development stream belongs to, as well as the sequence in a stream of each exported file and edit sidecar (so I can revert or branch). 
Only loosely related but -- with such requirements, my first thought would probably be to try & use a (local) revision control system. Lets you annotate changes, revert, branch and whatnot.
