I have been using external drives for a number of apps, darktable, lightworks, etc. First I use gparted to format the drive and give it a label eg photos. then In darktable I would import the files from /media/myhome/photos/. This way I do not have to work where the drive is mounted in, just that it it is mounted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Darktable-users mailing list Darktable-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-users
