Hi Matthias,
there are 2 ways to delete pictures. You can just remove them from your catalog 
or truely delete them from your disk.

You probably used the first option. That is why they were still inside the 
folder when you moved it and so they showed up again.

Your edits are stored in xmp files. Can you see those? You need to copy them as 
well!

Best, Jan

Thanks, Jan! Yeah, technically, what I did was: I copied the pictures
from my SD card to my /home/Test/ folder, like I always do. Then, I
used "import and copy" in DT and pointed to that folder.

What I didn't realize that 3.6 now actually makes new copies somewhere
else on the file system. That's why I was so surprised later to find
all 73 CR2s still there in /home/Test, and no XMP files at all.

What I'm wondering is, where on my file system is the directory that
DT copied my files to and placed my XMPs in?

I do have a problem with the new "Copy and Import" feature

When I opened it on my desktop today, I found that the 40

Why? Where did it go? Do my files get copied somewhere when I

## The Big Ones

- Full rework of the import module. The new module allows you to see
thumbnails of your images before import and makes it easier to handle
multiple import tasks. The same dialog is now used for importing
from disk, card or camera.

When importing "in-place", images that are already present in
darktable
are flagged and can be automatically excluded from the import.

Importing from a local drive won't use gphoto and so should work more
reliably on Windows.

- A vector-scope is added to complement the current histogram,
waveform and parade views.

- A new default demosaic algorithm (RCD) has been introduced, which
should provide
better quality than the current default (PPG) without the long run-
times
of AMaZE. the order of the demosaic algorithms has also been adjusted
for clarity.

- Support for "dual demosaic" has also been added, allowing you to
combine
"RCD + VNG4" and "AMaZE + VNG4" for bayer sensors, for xtrans sensors
there is
"Markesteijn 3-pass + VNG". This allows you to use an algorithm
better resolving
fine detail and another one delivering smoother output depending on
local image content.

- You can now create an opacity mask based on the sharpness of the
image. This uses
a similar algorithm to that used in dual demosaic.

- Drawn shapes are drawn on the original RAW image and then distorted
through
the pixelpipe. This previously led to, for example, circles becoming
ellipses
(due to lens distortion) after being placed on the image. All drawn
shapes can
now be pre-visualized and moved prior to placement, with full
deformation
applied. This makes the

them? What's wrong with keeping them where I put them in the first place?

I hope you can help me make sense of this and, perhaps, recover my 2
hours of work. I'm hoping it's still somewhere on my laptop.

Thanks,
Matt.

We're proud to announce the new feature release of darktable, 3.6.0!

The github release is here:
[https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-3.6.0](https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-3.6.0)
.

As always, please don't use the autogenerated tarball provided by
github, but only our tar.xz file. the checksums are:

You are strongly advised to take a backup first.

- Almost 2680 commits to darktable+rawspeed since 3.4
- 954 pull requests handled
- 290 issues closed

## The Big Ones

When importing "in-place", images that are already present in
darktable
are flagged and can be automatically excluded from the import.

Importing from a local drive won't use gphoto and so should work more
reliably on Windows.

- A vector-scope is added to complement the current histogram,
waveform and parade views.

- You can now create an opacity mask based on the sharpness of the
image. This uses
a similar algorithm to that used in dual demosaic.

- A new Color Balance RGB module has been added. This can be used as a
one stop module
for all color grading work.

- A new censorize module has been added. This allows you to hide parts
of the image by adding
a blur/pixelization.

- A new crop module has been added. This new module has been added late
in the
pixelpipe and makes it possible to use cropped parts of the image for
source spots
in the retouch module, for example.

- A new section has been added to the color calibration module to allow
you to calibrate
colors using a color checker chart.

- The map module has been enhanced in a number of ways:
- When importing a GPX the trace can be displayed.
