Hello,

Is there any way to run two instances of darktable. I have two monitors and its much easier for me to check the style in one instance as reference and experiment with other.

I can keep switching back and forth between images, but that's little cumbersome especially since film rolls are different. I tried firing another instance from terminal and specified different data directory, but it kept complaining about locks or sometimes just hangs

darktable --datadir /tmp/dt

Regards,

Niranjan

3.6 is now out, give it a spin if you can!

I'm struggling with applying the sidecars - xmp files.
Guillermo has already answered that, but there's a non-trivial feature
(documented, but not realised by many): darktable, by default, saves
the history stack into the exported JPG, and it can actually load the
history stack from such a JPG. The procedure is the same as with the
XMP, but you need to change the selector in the Open dialogue from
*.xmp to 'All files', and select the JPG file.
Also, if you're after a 'look', if perfectly fine to apply any history
stack to any image, even if it's a different camera -- just reset the
input colour profile to use the values for your camera.
