Hi,
I'm a new user of DT. Before I have used Bibble on Linux which
transformed to After Shot by Corel. I really like the speed of this
RAW management tool. But still I'm not sure about if it is the best
RAW converter for Linux. I would like to give a try to DT since its
futures seem to be very impressive. Still I'm hesitating between
RawTherapy and Darktable.

Up to now I prefere DT with all interesting plugins but I'm struggling
with the speed of DT. Switching from Darkroom back to Light Table is
extremely slow (more then 30 seconds). Currently I have imported only
a small part of my pictures to the DT library (approx. 35.000
pictures). I would like to work with much more. But with current GUI
it is very inconvenient.

I see that more users have similar problem:
http://www.darktable.org/redmine/issues/8981 . There is a quite
advanced discussion (_count_images staff etc.) which is beyond the DT
beginner skills.  Is ther any insiders command/debugging help for DT
users?

Or is there a simple solution? Could you help me to establish a good
work flow? E.g.

1. Import only a small amount of pictures and delete library when I
would like to move to work with another part of my pictures?

2. manually selection of smalled sub-libraries from command line e.g.
to create library for each year separately?

3. use another software to manage pictures e.g. Digikam and use DT
only for converting RAWs for single pictures.

My pictures are organised in file tree:

<year>/<Month (max 12 sub-folders)>/<Year-Month-Day (max 31
sub-folders>/<RAW files (can be hundreds)>

I'm using the most resent git version of DT (last time I tried it yesterday)


Best regards,
Marcin
