Hi Harald:
Thanks for the tip!
I tried to use it but it still didn't work - still no lighttable import.
When I click on any of the left side window panes:
- import
- collect images
- recently used collections
and try to select something, nothing happens.
When I try to import a directory which has a lot of photo's in it, the
Windows darktable icon on the bottom of the monitor shows a progress bar as
part of the icon. Something is definitely happening in the background, but
nothing ever shows up in the lighttable image collection area.
Thanks for pointing me to darktable command line parameters. Tried the one
you suggested, with no apparent luck. Not sure where my cache folder is
supposed to reside (yet).
Ran the cache generating command line feature and it ran for quite a while
(1.1.3. darktable-generate-cache binary) but still nothing shows up in the
lighttable area.
I did find a cache related directory at:
C:\Program Files\darktable\bin\-d\cached_kernels_for_GeForceGTX970_44187
which has 31 files in it ranging from a low of 6 kB to a high of 439 kB.
I then ran a variant of your suggestion:
darktable --cachedir C:\Program
Files\darktable\bin\-d\cached_kernels_for_GeForceGTX970_44187 -d lua -d
opencl -d perf -d sql
which then gives me the error message of:
[image: image.png]
changed the command line to:
C:\Program Files\darktable\bin>darktable --cachedir
.\-d\cached_kernels_for_GeForceGTX970_44187 -d lua -d opencl -d perf
-d sql
and it ran without an error message but without any different results. It
generated a subfolder in the cache folder "-d" and basically repeated all
the same files in it.
As I mentioned earlier, I can RMB on a file using Windows Explorer and
choose to open with darktable, but none of the files ever show up in the
lighttable view.
Not sure what next to try.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
Sincerely
Ross Tucker
