That's of cause correct. :) Unfortunately on a system like mine, years old, I have kept a backup of all (well most ;) ) .* directories and that has grown to 30+GB of data. Not all of absolutely vital importance! It also includes all software installed under WINE and Ubuntu/Gnomes thumbnails of every image on my system. It would be nice with an option as to where to store it. Especially as the styles/presets are stores there also. > > Ulrich > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 > Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest. > Compete for recognition, cash, and the chance to get your game > on Steam. $5K grand prize plus 10 genre and skill prizes. > Submit your demo by 6/6/13. http://p.sf.net/sfu/intel_levelupd2d > _______________________________________________ > Darktable-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-users > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
