Hi Haribo: Tried your suggestion, but still no-go. I've been shooting and editing recently, the painstaking way (using Windows File Explorer). Installed the git version of bash and started darktable expecting to see some error messages in git-bash but there was nothing reported. Aside from lightable not working at all, the rest of dt seems to be working properly. Of course I haven't tried every module, but the ones I often use are working well.
The only usage issue (outside of lighttable) is that I haven't been able to find the mask properties that enable inclusion, exclusion, AND, etc., for two or masks used at the same time. Thanks again for your suggestions though.
