Unfortunately I didn't find a hint for this fact in the manual. Nor a list of supported file formats in lighttable view-mode.

After Terries hint, however, I "imported" png-files successfully.

You can also import

Yeah, You're right, I wasn't aware of this fact. Maybe someone is able to use/run or adapt an according LUA-script to deliver such ability of pseudo-dynamically loading changed pics in the background.

Certainly, I'm not a beginners. But working with LUA-script seems to be above my capabilities.

It's a pitty!

Thanks for your help!

Keep in mind that lighttable isn't a real time view onto your diskdrive, so unless you reimport your directory after exporting png files there these won't appear in lighttable view. You can use lua to generate a export, import, group with raw file afterwards script to achieve this (there's reusable code in https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts/blob/master/contrib/gimp.lua <https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts/blob/master/contrib/gimp.lua>)

    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
