I'm sorry if this question is trivial, but I couldn't find in the
documentation (maybe I should look harder?) and I would like to ask:

Broad Question: what are the roles of the library file and the whole configdir??

The defaults are located respectively on
"~/.config/darktable/library.db" and "~/.config/darktable". Both can
be changed when running darktable via command-line, with options
--library and --configdir.

My guess is that configdir holds options like keybinds, history of
last open collection, last imported files, etc; whereas the library
holds pretty much all information, like the catalog of photo file
addresses, styles, and module presets. So... Why would one change one
independently of the other?

Actual question: Would it be possible to change only the photo
collection library
but keep the same pattern of presets, options, styles, etc. with a
command line option? That would seem nice, since I could have
different libraries for different purposes (family photos,
experiments, etc) but keep all my custom presets unified. I guess it's
not possible, but I figure I could at least ask.

TL;DR: How to change the photo collection but keep presets and styles?

Thank you very much

Y.
