but one *usually* works a group of images just transferred from the camera card and *usually* to one location and in this sense, non-recursive would be the expected default. if one procrastinates and imports larger and/or multiple groups of images at one time, recursive *might* be a better choice. but now we are at the same point of using a card-reader or importing directly from the camera. I personally cannot understand wasting my precious expensive camera batteries for transferring files. or the related inherent clumsiness with my aged arthritic fingers. different strokes ... take more pictures and less ... -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
