Hi Andrew. If I am right you have only made an extra copy and all is good 😊

If that is the case then I would expect your original files and associated .xmp files with previous edits to be located in their original folders. The copy and import would have copied the images but not removed them from the original folder. For your sake, I hope I am correct. Good luck and I hope it all works out for you finding the originals. I am mainly a windows user if that is relevant.

I have never set that up, I only ever run on the camera images numbers, how else do I get to keep track of the frames so that I can prepare the next prefix in my numbering scheme. The only numbers that matter are from the camera, I can only guess that these renamed images are copied somewhere that DT knows, but why would I want to have two versions of my RAW files. I am shell shocked and bewildered, why is DT fcking with my Data storage? I am really distressed, this has been a bad day for me.

Perhaps a check box on that left side for "Do not copy"would help. I will test the "Add to Library" option later today. I have sufficient back up measures so I can rebuild my data, and it looks like I may also be able to recover my .xmp files. Despite the frustrations I have experienced, I love this program, I appreciate the enormous amount of work undertaken by the developers. I evangelise for Darktable in camera clubs and among my photographic friends. I suspect my tolerance levels have been impacted by the Covid Lockdowns in Melbourne and Victoria. I apologise if I have come on too strong.
