This seems a little confusing, as in my mind /importing/ - from DT side - means _add to the database_, by opposition to transfering the files from the camera to the DT space. For file transfer, I have been using an utility that handles this part very well - Rapid Photo Downloader -, and I will continue to use it as long as it is maintained. For everyting else, I use DT for what it does best : processing the photos. So, from my point of view, I think this discussion is no more than a storm in a tea-cup - sorry, and aplogizes, if someone feels offended, I am just stating what I feel. But I hope DT will never become such a gaz factory as Photoshop, Lightroom, Gimp, etc. Rgrds, J.-Luc ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
