Hej, I have just started using darktable to manage my digital photos. So far I can say that I really like the concepts of this application. When starting to use new software I always think about how to backup my data just in case everything goes wrong or in case I have to move to another computer.
Regarding this topic I have hit paydirt in the mailing list: * http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29291108 I can confirm that it is as easy as that - just to keep the xmp files (sidecars) and re-import the folder in case one wants to continue editing a folder of images on another computer with keeping the editing history intact. In this regard: what data does the sqlite-database contain? Actually everything I need is in the xmp-files. :-) Now my question: Could you please mention this easy backup/re-import procedure in your documentation? If you want I can write a short summary of the procedure so that it can be included (github pull-request?) in the user manual. Thank you for your efforts, darktable rocks. It's great fun to manage fotos with this application!!
