Re: [darktable-user] Upgrding from 2.6 to 3.4: Will I lose my modules adjustments?

yes

yes, but with reservations. 

the library.db for the newer dt will not be compatabile with your current
version.  and the newer version may (probably) have some different module
names and newer modules which will make changes to your images in a
different manner, but your old edit shoud still appear as now and you
should be able to continue to edit them.

to be completely safe, when making edits to old images, I would suggest
duplicating those images first (within darktable) and working on the
duplicates.  again, just to be safe.

good luck.

Re: [darktable-user] Can timestamp information in xmp files be altered with external script?

the .xmp is a duplicate of what the library.db contains and, if
modified externally (not by dt), affected images need to be re-imported or
their xmp files re-read to update library.db.

first step would be to file an issue at:
  https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/new/choose

this where and how the developers keep track of items to address.
and please provide all the information requested.  it will expedite
solutions.

I would stongly consider another email client.
fwiw: your current email client is wanadoo.fr's web interface.
and you can use another email client.

fwiw, when I use keystone, the "ok" usually is dead center of the
unaltered image, but that may just be circumstance from the images where I
employe keystone.  I increase the view when setting the corners and then
the same for "finding" the "ok".  that may help you make it more visible.

and I do not recall it every having a different color, in the last 6-8
years.

have you checked your spam directory or gmail's?
the posts may be there.

are you using your browser and gmail site to generate your email, ie:
gmail is your mail client?

does a  (enter key) set the change for you?  and by perspective
are you referring to keystone or do you not mean "crop and rotate".

and you do have access to different themes which will probably change the
intensity and tint of the "ok".

it is not the fault of the mail list software but a standard configuration
of gmail which has always been.  gmail does not display duplicate msgs. 
if you post to darktable list using gmail, gmail will show the msg you
post, but not the one darktable list posts as they are duplicates to
gmail's way of looking.

it is not the fault of the mail list software ...

then you should set *your* mail client to reply to the list instead of

when you post a msg, gmail see it.  if the list then post the *same* msg,
gmail see it as a duplicate and does not show it again.  fwiw, gmail has
always been this way.

in the configuration, "gear wheel" icon
select darkroom and look at the lower half "modules"
the third item "expand a single processing module at a time"
you apparently have it selected.
I do not.

you want dt to be your file-manager, but you already have one.  you are on
windows but the *inux's tend to separate functions and do each function
well rather than one does everything approach.

I have crafted a script to copy from flash-card, rename files and place

not "techie" but as expected.  a stack grows from botton to top.

you are making definitions to but darktable in a different light.  it is
what it is and you are perfectly able to program it into what you wish,
but you must do so.  it appears you want others to make changes they do
not think appropriate, necessary or worth effort to accomodate you.

maybe just appearance difference due to differing color and intensity.

how do you compare the to me minor sharpness difference when the images
are not duplicates in the other aspects?

at 100% parts of the dt generated image appear sharper.
in fact, to my eye most of the dt image is sharper and better displayed. 
the rt image appears too bright.

remember: "in the eye of the beholder".

really, which is better depends on context.  tiff is a standard and dng is
what the converter/generator thinks it should be.  tiff will repeat and

if you looked at them, surely you noticed a difference.  use the one that
is for the version of darktable you utilize.

should be very easy to make that choice.

script ???

you must start dt from the command line using the command I provided but
changed to fit the way you named the config directories.  the following
command line invocations will accomplish that,

darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-3.4
darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-master

and library.db and data.db will be in the *correct* directories.


there is no script involved and any script that you used probably did not
have any idea of where you placed your new config directories.  it was
probably coded to default to the normail installation location, ie:
~/.config/darktable

again, to start and use darktable master version, invoke darktable from
the command line as:
  darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-master

to use darktable version 3.4:
  darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable-3.4
  
note:  using "-" in directory or file names is ill advised and asking for
problems.


about "alias", your ~/.bashrc must provided for it and more, another
subject for another time.  please for now, forget it.

the commands above may be placed in scrpts to make it easier to call.  I
can help with that if you wish.

move ~/.config/darktable
to   ~/.config/darktable.34
and copy to
 ~/.config/darktable.35
 
then call darktable version 3.4 as
 darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.34
and version 3.5 as
 darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.35
 
and I would create aliases rather than the long command lines.

alias dt34='darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.34'  
alias dt35='darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable.35'

should accomplish what you desire

I don't see that anything has changed with the "folder hierarchy".  I am
still able to sort on directory as I have been as long as I can remember. 

and collections still work as before, they are merly another way to sort
and they still work as they have as long as I can remember.  there are
more possible parameters, objects to sort upon.

What seems to be the problem?  the only changes I notice are enhancements
to the existing sorting methods.

but a "collection" is the result of a filter so in this case to collect is

but one *usually* works a group of images just transferred from the camera
card and *usually* to one location and in this sense, non-recursive would
be the expected default.

if one procrastinates and imports larger and/or multiple groups of images at
one time, recursive *might* be a better choice.

but now we are at the same point of using a card-reader or importing
directly from the camera.  I personally cannot understand wasting my
precious expensive camera batteries for transferring files.  or the
related inherent clumsiness with my aged arthritic fingers.

different strokes ... 

take more pictures and less ...

3.4.1 will probably be the same as I don't believe backports are being

but *which* darktablerc indicates "1"?  the *original* darktablerc which
is part of the package install and not local to *your* user account comes
with "1" as default.  when you make changes to your darktable
configuration, they are saved in the darktablerc *local* to your
.  and it is not the same as the original version provided on
package installation.  

as I said, the linux "user" version is at ~/.config/darktable/darktablerc

and as mentioned by someone a few minutes ago, make sure the darktablerc
you are editing is the one local to the user, not the one installed from
the darktable package.  whatever equates to linux
  /home//.config/darktable/darktablerc
I don't know windows system locations.

close dt, edit darktablerc to set "show_folder_levels=" to what you
desire, save and reopen dt.  do you now have what you want?  may be a bug
that is fixed in 3.4.1 when it is released.  may even be documented.  

works for me on master

preferences are stored in darktablerc and you must exit darktable, then
make changes to darktablerc, then reopen darktable for the changes to be
active.

I am on linux and using master.  I don't know what operating system or
version of dt you use, display may not be the same  and making assumptions
*only* leads to more confusion.

on further investigation, I find no setting the the
configuration/gear-wheel setting menu(s) any more for depth of directories
processed during import, but one may edit ~/.config/darktable/darktablerc
and adjust "show_folder_levels=#".  Mine is set to "show_folder_levels=5".

since you provide little information about your system and/or darktable,
this answer may not be what you are looking for, but that's on you.

on the latest linux master at the time writing this, it resides in the
import bar, presets -> preferences

tomorrow may be different.

color zones is still there, just hidden by default
open an image in darkroom and just below the histogram is an input box
where you can search for modules by name and maybe description.  type
"zone" and see what you get.

ps: rtfm, it will help you and will describe the change to tone equalizer
and how to get color zones back.

don't be down on the developers because you haven't read the very fine
manual.

guess you will need to exempt dt (note lowercase) from m$ defender actions
or turn off defender when you download and install dt.

or use some other prophylactic.

possibly config differences.  I am on openSUSE Tumbleweed, compiling

try:  mv ~/.config/darktable ~/.config/XXdarktable

yes, it is necessary to leave the perspective correction module in order
to apply the action.

what version of windows 10?
what version of darktable?
  open darktable and look at the logo, the version is listed just below

what is the website/location where you got darktable.
post the file you cannot open on a file-sharing service such as google
drive.

PLEASE, do not send images via email list, post on a file server such as
google drive and provide a url.

what is it that you expect anyone to be able to derive from the little
information you provide?

you show screen-shots of windows file properties
you do not provide the operating system you use
nor the version of darktable, where you got it, how you installed it
nor the image for someone to try to import

how would *you* solve your problem if someone else presented you with the
same information?

and this is not an attack on your character, merely the observance of a
nearly impossible request.

sounds to me like the cached thumbs are bad, but to correct I would guess
you would need to remove the current cache and then generate anew.  know
that dt will generate cache thumbs for images it needs while
darktable-generate-cache will create thumbs for *all* images in your
library.db.

to test, you might just move the cache and open dt to view subject
image(s).

on linux it is:  /home//.cache/darktable/mipmaps*
dt will generate missing thumbs on need.
ie: opening a collection

I would *guess* you have something amiss in your library.db or
darktablerc7, re: deleted ~/.config/darktable

but your original xmp still causes problems, so your ~/.config/darktable
is probably ok and the darktablerc.  either your xmp is borked or you have
some modules out-of-order that darktable cannot read/apply correctly.

I would throw away your original xmp, removed the image from your
collection, reimport and re-edit to suit your tastes and forget this.  you
did indicate that the original xmp was the problem.

gud luk,

ok, performed the straightening you attempted and exported the result.

1. opened image in perspective module
http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~paka/Screenshot_20201206_085959.png

2. selected get structure and the left icon for on automatic fit line
http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~paka/Screenshot_20201206_090318.png

3. unselected get structure and selected automatic cropping "original
format"
http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~paka/Screenshot_20201206_090350.png

4. entered a different module than "perspective correction" to set the

5. exported the image

no, don't attach a raw to an email and spam everybody on the list.  post
to a file sharing service or your web server or ...

but in this case I just looked at the supported camera list on
darktable.org and only the "Z 6" is listed.  so it appears that the 
"Z6_2" has not yet been added.  I believe I saw that someone had uploaded
sample images to https://raw.pixls.us/ but not sure.  you might check
there and if they need samples, follow the directions and provide the
needed samples.  response in providing updated support has been quite
good.

replying to a message replys to the author unless the header "Reply-To:"
is not empty, with directs your reply the toe "Reply-To:" address. 
Appears you are using thunderbird, you need to set it to "reply to list". 
I cannot tell you how, I am not using or that familiar with thunderbird.

another way is to reply to *all*, but then be sure to remove all addresses
except the list as you will send duplicate posts to all the addressees.
and this post you sent to me and the list and I have absolutely no need
for another duplicate email.

have you solved your problem?

do the files exist in the location dt is "looking"?
have you tried to open the files with other software?  possibly they are
corrupt.

have you tried to open the files from the commandline?
open text window
darktable ///

have you tried removing the files from dt's database (remove from
collection) and reimporting them?

lighttable is probably looking at cached files rather than the raw files
would be my first guess as to why they appear in the lighttable view.

so you really need to know a little about your operating system.  do you
expect to operate your camera with that little knowledge of it?  how would
you turn it on.

a text window is exactly that since you must be using a desktop graphical
environment or would not be able to run darktable.

darktable-cli is a program but is not the same as darktable
"-d opencl" are parameters which you want the program, darktable, to use
when it is operating.
"<" is a less-than symbol, but it is also used to indicate a substitute
word where one would be expected to place a different work, ie:
  /home//xxx

and these are as basic to your operating system as setting the aperture on
your camera, or using a key to start the engine on your automobile.

we will undoubtedly be unable to assist you until you are able to
communicate with us in terms we both understand.  if you ask specific
questions which can be answered in some other manner, please try.

perhaps you can take a screen-shot of the display after you direct to
"autocrop original format".  and then perform your step #6 and export the
image.  compare the screen-shot to the export and if not *very* similar,
provide them for use to view.  if they are not *very* similar, a bug issue
is warranted.

I do not have an "ok" either, perhap referring to the keystone part of the
crop module.

Then you would need to explain and define your actions as I have never
noticed that but am *usually* on the latest master compiled on openSUSE
Tumbleweed rather than lesser versions.

 * * * * 
you display the "corrective" line guides via the lower icon row and the
desired correction via the upper icon row, define the cron and commit the
action by going to another module or selecting the module header bar.
 * * * *
 
if necessary I can perform the action and provide before/after images
showing the difference.

ps: if you pose a problem and comment that you are not sure that you are
using it properly, why would you not explain your method instead of
requiring someone offering help to request that?  

your questions are more likely to be answered to your satisfaction if you
provide the avenue of least effort to those where you request assistance.

except that updating the locate db more than likely takes quite a bit
longer than a more localized find command.

but locate will be easier for you if that is what you understand and do
not understand find.  

that said, find is very handy once you learn it as it has many
applications.  I automagically remove files in a particular directory
based on their file-date:
  find  -mtime +22 -type f -delete
  
Just one example.

since you now have write permissions to the file location, just select the
group of files in lighttable, open "history stack" and select "write
sidecar files".

you might try here:

but you must remember that the jpg was produced by nikon processes which

and you neglected to provide the raw image for anyone to try ...

clean for rpmbuild would probably entail replacing *all* dt source files
and the build environment.

https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/

create a bug report, "issue".

fwiw: I build using the github clone and do see the hamburger/gear-wheel

do not "rename" a module group, create a new one.  And populate it with
what you desire by adding modules to it, rather than trying to "move"
modules from one group to another.  You are making something simple,
difficult.
