hi, can you check your darktablerc for something similar to:
never_use_embedded_thumb=true plugins/lighttable/low_quality_thumbnails=false ? the size 4k is not a good idea if you don't need the thumbnails this large. and yes, you need to recreate your cache (delete ~/.cache/darktable/ or wherever that is for you), and maybe you want to recreate them all at once from the command line (man darktable-generate-cache). -jo On Sun, Feb 14, 2016 at 6:53 AM, Lefty Ace <leftyga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Darktable users! > > I have a problem trying to use the lighttable view and I wonder if you could > help. > > When I first import my raw files (Nikon NEFs), I can review them nicely in > the lighttable.
