Is that possible in Windows, its certainly can't be done in Linux
without modifying the darktable executable.
Opening an image in darktable without adding it to a library is
impossible (in any OS), and it was the same in 3.4 and the versions
before. That's how darktable works, the mere act of opening the image
adds it to the library/database because there is where the operations
done to the image are saved.
Even if the --library :memory: option is
used the image is added to a database, it's just that it's temporary and
resides in RAM.
That is true, but the net outcome of using --library :memory: is that NO
library.db is created if one does not exist.
I never use the library function of dt, always relying on the .xmp that
is stored alongside the image file.
Call me old fashioned if you like but thats the way I like it!

I still don't get where the problem is. Adding a single image works
exactly the same in 3.6 and 3.4, with the same number of steps. The
button just changed the name from "add image" to "add to library".
