yes, reference only. we don't impose a particular data layout on disk on you, you're free to organise your pictures which ever way you want in the physical folder layout (and do that with different tools if you want). > And if there is a reference only, are the original data being > affected in some way during my work? no, we never write your raw files or any input images for that matter. all information will end up in the accompanying xmp files (and the db). > Rolf -jo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Darktable-users mailing list Darktable-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-users
