I concur that this is one option.  I Windows, it's right-click, then open with darktable (Ubuntu is very similar).  It's just more awkward.  I, too, miss the ease of just opening a single image as I could in prior releases.  Perhaps in a future release, a third button could be included to restore this single image opening function.

If I have a single image (RAW or DNG) located anywhere on my system I can, by simply clicking on it, open it for processing in dt as a single image. I do not like doing this since it, in my opinion, messes up the data structure of dt but in fact it works.

Well I am taking my time to try and learn this new system. The copy and
import option is a nice addition for those who want to copy images from an
external source. I have set mine to import and organise by date of capture.
Like everything new it is taking time to learn and I am not yet fuly
comfortable with it. Maybe the ability to import one picture was a nice
feature that has now been lost or become hidden. But I have to say with
both Darktable and Lightroom (forgive me for mentioning an Adobe offering)
I miss the simplicity of just opening and processing an image like you do
in GIMP. Not a complaint, just an observation. Anyway, I continue to
explore the new offerring of DT 3.6. and really appreciate the effort
people have put into it.
