My workflow is pretty simple.
1) insert SD card into card reader
2) open a terminal and figure out which are the newest set by ls -l
3) rsync -Pa {1..3} the selection to my Linux partition
4) import everything in DT
5) from the light table, increase the size of the images to a single image
6) quickly scroll through assigning 2 stars to images that I want to
develop further or do something with. Use the focus detection to help with
this
7) scroll back to a 4 or 5 image across layout in the light table.
8) begin an rsync from my desktop to my backup server and create a new
directory structure like "June 2014/June 4, 2014 - that thing I did/". This
gets synced to my off site backup at my in laws house out of the state at
night time
9) develop as I want.
10) export full res files using the exif date, time, short description, and
image number in set and do the same with 1000 pixels on the long side (for
sharing, social media, and quick viewing) with a "small" tossed in the file
name before the image set number.
11) re issue the rsync command to include all exports and all xmp changes
that it missed last time or ones that changed.
12) crash hard as I have a toddler and a newborn now...

> Hello,

> I used to be a Picasa user, then switched to iPhoto since I started to
shoot RAW. I like iPhoto as the management tool, however I find the editing
features a bit too simple. So I am considering whether to switch to
Darkable as my only workflow tool, for both DAM and editing. I wonder if
you can briefly share your workflow with DT: what steps do you usually do
from import to export? For example, my current workflow in iPhoto is
following:
>
> - insert SD card to macbook, start iPhoto, import all photos to iPhoto as
an event (DT film roll equivalent)
>
> - quickly go through photos to delete junk/duplicates
>
> - add some info to the photo for later collecting: I use this scheme:
Who, What, Where, When, Why and Rating. who = faces, when = date from
EXIF, where = places, what and why = keywords, Rating = rating. I try to
put the info in batch as much as possible
>
> - editing: it varies from photo to photo, I generally try not to spend
too much time on heavy post-processing like brushing parts of a photo.
>
> - export
