I also follow this road. I dl to a chronological and descriptive directory, then apply a script to add geographical location, lowercase and add date-time to filenames, then import into darktable. If I later decide to relocate the files, I *move* them with dt to preserve the catalogues. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
