Being a windows user I can just right click on an image in file explorer
and tell it to open in DT, but I would never bother doing that. The new
import options in 3.6 seem an improvement but we just have to get used to
change. However, I did like the option to open (import) just a single image
in DT3.4. I guess I can still do that in 3.6 but with a few more clicks.

Good question, but please remember to reply to the list.

Hello Richard,
has there ever been a way to just "open" an image without adding it to
the database?
Indeed there is.
This solution is for Linux - Windoze users will need to seek help
elsewhere.
Create a bash script to call darktable with the memory only option.
Place the script in /.local/bin and mark as executable.
As an example my script is: dl_nl.sh
#!/bin/bash
/opt/darktable/bin/darktable "$1" --library :memory:
Right click on the image file name |select open with | select your
script as the 'program' to open the file.
This will open a single selected image file.
If you wish to open multiple images its better to start darktable in
Memory only mode, and use the 'add to to library' import option!
See the darktable Manual - Special topics/program invocation
--library :memory:
I hope that will give food for thought.

(Anyway, Michael Staats (e-mail 2021-07-21 05:37UTC) put it right: The
new buttons just describe clearer what dt used to do.)
Best regards

Methinks you are quite right in your observations.
The new approach is unnecessarily complex, and replaces a previously
simple set of actions that worked well.
Further more for those not using the library functions (*) of darktable
it is downright confusing.
(*) --library :memory:
Just my two pence.
