I don't profess to be an expert on any of this and know that there are always many ways to do things but the way I get my images into darktable is:- Insert SD card into PC Move the RAW image files to a /<month>/WIP/ directory on my HDD using a GUI file manager Start darktable Use GUI file manager to drag image files onto the lighttable. dt then reads them all and creates XMP files Review images in darktable and reject with "R" where necessary. When edits finished trash all rejected image files using darktable Export remaining images as JPEGs using darktable Move original image files to a /<month>/RAW/ directory using darktable Use separate DAM software to index and tag JPEGs move them and then "group/link" with the RAW file.
