Dear August, Dear Gray Card, Dear Patrick:
thank you for so quick response. I wasn't able to find this explanation
so quickly.
If such visual representations for missing files as "skulls" seem not to
bear extremely relevant information, I like to suggest to run those
mentioned scripts (chapter 2.2.3.2, Gray Card, and the script, Patrick
mentioned, automatically triggered in background.
What would be the advantage to know, if there is s.th. missing?
Instead of dealing with missing file, I prefer caring about existing ones.
Thanks again,
Axel

Hi,
I use darktable 3.0.1. 64 bit under Linux.
Instead of picture-previews, I can see only cryptic icons (attachment).
What do these icons mean?
How can I avoid these?
Is it necessary to "maintain" the darktable database?
Or: Is this done automatically?
they are not "cryptic icons" but representations of missing images in your
library. Images which you have relocated or deleted outside of dt and now
dt has no knowledge of them. Utilize dt to perform these actions and you
will not experience "cryptic icons".
there exists a shell script to remove them from your library:
/usr/share/darktable/tools/purge_non_existing_images.sh
and from your cache:
/usr/share/darktable/tools/purge_from_cache.sh
