I use a similar setup for an installation on an external drive, but I have separate directories for images, configuration, and cache: '/external-drive/Photos', '/external-drive/darktable-config', '/external-drive/cache'.
Regarding the command-line options: * If you want the thumbnail cache in the "everything" directory, you need to use the '--cachedir' option in addition to the '--configdir' option. * I believe the '--datadir' option does not refer to any user data, but to the directory for Darktable's runtime configuration (e.g., '/usr/share/darktable'). -- August Schwerdfeger [email protected] On Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 2:17 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, 29 Oct 2019 12:08:37 -0700 > "I.
