I tend to think that perhaps I'm overthinking this, but here's the
question: In v3.4, I could "import" an "image" or a "folder" (section
2.3.1 of The Fine Manual for v 3.4). Now that v3.6 has been released, I
can "import" then "add to library" or "copy & import", per section 1.4.1
of The New Fine Manual. It almost seems that these changes are purely
verbiage, not unlike a used car salesman calling a "pig" a "cochon" to
be able to double the sale price. Frankly, I prefer to be able to open
a single image the way I did in v3.4 to the new way of opening a
library, then a folder, then an image as in v3.6. It seems to me that
if my perception is correct, darktable is sliding too close to things I
detest about Lightroom. If my perception is wrong, I'm very open to
seeing it differently, but this is what I see right now. Thoughts?

Hi
According to what I understood, you are mostly right, except that it's
more like calling a "pig" a "pig" and a "cow" a "cow", and not only one
button with "some mammals" ;-)
In other words: There were many discussions about what (the old)
"import" means, when you (e.g.) connect your camera directly, or
"import" from a local directory. One was involving copying files, the
other did not. And this has become clearer now. Otherwise it's the same
thing.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong
Best regards,
Michael
Exactly what you say.
And if Willy wants to import just one/few image(s):
"copy & import" (or "import", if you want do edit on the memory card
(?)), then navigate to the folder, then select the image(s) - press
"import" and you're done ...
Don't see the problem here.

Hello,
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
