Hi,
/whereas dt is supposed to export only lossy(??) JPG??
I was sure, that jpg is lossy, designed for area reproduction and less
appropriate for lines (as gif, e.g.) seen in accuracy vs. file size.
is not a correct
statement.
Yes, you are right; I am using this for exporting a while.
/In the export module you have the ability to set the export
module as you see fit. I actually make presets in this module that
include JPG being placed in the same folder as original or 16 bit Tiff
files being placed in the same folder as original. I personally use the
16 bit Tiff files as my archival export of images from Darktable as
these can then be edited further in programs such as GIMP.
Are you aware / is there of a format type- comparison of supported
export- / and import-file types for dt?
In Adobe's
Lightroom there is an option in the export process to have the newly
created image added or not added to the catalog. I am not aware of a
similar option in Darktable.
This would fit the ideas, I guess! As there are always only few pics
worked on, one could improve dt in this ability. This could improve
work-ability even more.
The workaround is to just import the folder
again into Darktable so that the new images are added.
Yes, I may be indulged a little from very fast file-viewer XnView which
can update file overview of a directory instantaneously.
I re-imported again and all worked fine.
I also just
tested this process with a PNG and Darktable recognised the image fine.
Thank you Terry,
Axel

Dear all:
DT offers different formats for importing and exporting pics.
IMPORT:
https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/overview/supported-file-formats/
<https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/overview/supported-file-formats/>
EXPORT: https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/exporting_images.html
<https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/exporting_images.html>
As much as I found, dt shows in lighttable "only" RAW-formats (if I
activate to _import_ JPG, I see these files, in lighttable, too).
However: In my workflow, I produce lossless(!!) PNG, whereas dt is
supposed to export only lossy(??) JPG??
See: <https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/exporting_images.html
<https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/exporting_images.html>>
My aim would be:
- working on RAW-images in lighttable,
- export these as PNG and
- see all pics at the time(!!) within a directory.
Lighttable should be for overviews and comparison, I guess. This way, I
could see original RAW _and_ resulting pics version simultaneously.
- I can't find a button to see PNG-format in lighttable.
- What do I miss?
- Is my workflow wrong?
- Are there better procedures or, maybe s.th <http://s.th>. as Best
Practice e.g.?
Thank you for tips
Axel
