Simplest: import, process, export, delete from within DT -> no skulls, no 'pollution'. You can also use (https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch01.html.php, Chapter 1.1.1) --library <library file>
darktable keeps image information in an sqlite database for fast access. The default location of that database file is “$HOME/.config/darktable/library.db”. You may give an alternative location, e.g. if you want to do some experiments without compromising your original library.db. If the database file does not exist, darktable creates it for you. You may also give “:memory:” as a library file in which case the database is kept in system memory – all changes are discarded when darktable terminates. But this way you won't have access to presets (as they are in the library DB). 3rd way: back up your DB, import, process, export, restore library DB.
