I alter *all* filenames on import,
  exiv2 \-k \-r %y%m%d_%H%M%S_:basename: \.\/*.{nef,jpg}'

so export will appear as 190910_192003_aaa_3768.jpg and original was
AAA_3768.NEF

adjust as desired.

guess I don't understand "smooth scrolling" as I believe that is what I
*normally* experience.

opensuse Tumbelweed linux darktable-2.7.0~git1674.d1efea875

it is so that module parameters are not inadvertedly changed.  the
scrollbar is for scrolling, the mouse wheel when over a module changes
parameters.

appears there is support for your X-T30
  https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/2366
  
I suggest you file a bug report:
  https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues

it will not be solved here, dev's need to see the problem.

I am guessing but would say the camera raw format is not being decoded
correctly or has not yet been decoded for darktable.  is the format listed
as being recognized by darktable?

did you provide the sample raw files necessary for darktable to recognize
your camera?  that is the *first* necessary step.  hundreds of posts here
will not achieve that.

disregard that.  I would "guess" the raw file format is not recognized
correctly or hasn't been decoded.  might check using rawtherapee but I
believe they both utilize the same decoding.

I still would not dl directly from my camera, use a card reader.

I would suggest saving your expensive camera battery and change to
removing the memory card and utilizing a card reader to transfer your
images.

but ...

I cannot comment on those problems as I do not follow that regimen.

perhaps you can provide the requested sample images as described here:
  https://raw.pixls.us/
so darktable can be configured to recognize your raw images.

not if opencl works correctly.  there is an advantage over *only* cpu on

fwiw, I cannot either.  I believe the  is only for angular
positioning.  but it is possible to crop one image, go to lighttable, copy
crop portion of history stack and paste it to other images.  then edit the
other images to reposition the crop to desired location and you will have
the same crop parameters.  one could craft a style of only crop at
particular parameters and use that to make a group of photos have
"exactly" the same crop.

just successfully test the copy, paste.  did not bother to make a style.

I am running dt master from git and seldom use undo and do not know
whether it is available in the light-table.

perhaps your interest in functions which do not appear to be available in
the version you use may be provided in the git master builds and you might
try them.  I have been running git master for five or six years and
experienced very few problems with over 100k photos.

presently utilizing darktable-2.7.0~git1606.4c5a6d05f

iirc:

how are you determining colors are incorrect?
what version of gt?
can you upload a raw and the exported image and accompanying xmp files to
a file share site?

don't know about "trick" but you might look at styles.  should be able to
accomplish it there and there are plenty of examples available.

there is an option in dt to make local copies, copy locally, of the group
you wish to edit and then copy the xmp file back to the original drive,
resync local copy, which would "greatly" aleviate your slowness.

one must assume you count yourself among those.  will you step up and

you might run dt from cl using "darktable -d all " and watch for the
problem.

and you can reinstall dt w/o removing the library where your images are
catalogued.

and the dev's can usually be found on irc, freenode #darktable

smb is slow and you have quite a large collection being imported.  I would
*guess* that dt has not had time to generate the previews yet.

perhaps a better plan would have been to download the images to the smb
drive or via nfs/sshfs first and then to import to dt.  but that would
probably still have been much slower than a local drive.

also possible to download to a local drive, import into dt and then move
the images to the remote drive and reimport.

never heard of "Nathan cool" and never used the "adobe thing".  how would
anyone answer your question with anything sensible?

ps: if this is an example of your work ethic, might as well go to the pub
and enjoy yourself rather than worry about real estate photography or any

well, sorry.  I have been running master-git version for many years, I

why would one expect a jpg image to "look" different in dt?  after all, it

PLEASE post large files/images to a file sharing service rather than send
them to everyone on the list, many who may not be interested and other who
may be on measured service and you drive up their cost.

iirc, it is not even necessary to edit the library.db if you don't change
the filenames.  just move the group of files and accompanying xmp files
and re-import them

if you edit ~/.config/darktable/library.db and change the file location

GitHub is the recommended location to report issues and enhancements,
RedMine may not be seen.

inconsistant user interface would certainly be worthy of reporting, don't
you think?

the dev's do not build distro install packages but provide the source so
that distro packagers may provide the package for your chosen distro. 
contact the volunteer who provides darktable (lowercase) for your
particular distro.

duh, I retract my ill-advised comment.

the font on my display is quite fine, pleasant and acceptable.  perhaps
default font on the OP's display is odd?

the font does appear big or rather thick.  it is perhaps BOLD.  I agree
for my screen that it is easier to read but would appear more pleasant if
not quite so bold.

undoubtedly I mis-copied.  I definitely shouild not,
  181213_133958_aaa_2622.nef
  181213_122731_aaa_2622.nef.xmp
  181213_133958_aaa_2622_01.nef.xmp
  181213_133958_aaa_2622_02.nef.xmp

is correct.  blame it on brown bottles :)

when I use any machine beside my main workstation to edit photos, I issue
darktable as: 
  darktable --library :memory:
  import the photos to be edited
  finish the edits
  close dt
and back at my workstation, re-import the edited photos with their
accompanying xmp files.

have not encountered any problems with this work plan.

perhaps you can find a better way to express your appreciation of the
quality and cost of using darktable.  does it's logo meet your approval?

you apparently *only* deleted the photo file and not the db entry within
darktable.  dt does not rescan directories to see if file have been moved
or deleted or renamed.

use darktable to delete the file rather than some other app.  this way dt
removes the file from it's database and the cache.

to correct your current situation, tell/use dt to remove the image.


ps: I didn't trim your quotes as you don't feel it necessary.

it is possible, just make a link to darktable with the new cache directory
and use that to start dt.

so you have decided that there is a problem.  to get that problem fixed,
someone will need to file a bug report including observed problems and
their environment (camera, dt ver, operating system, ... ) 

in case you didn't know, the addr is:
  https://redmine.darktable.org/projects/darktable/issues

be explicit, you are the ONLY one who sees what you see.  others may see
similar but ...

In this case I believe "tethering" refers to controlling the camera using
the computer screen/controls rather than "just" to transfer images.

fwiw: I have successfully "tethered" 4 different nikon bodies at one time
or another but that scenario does not fit my present workflow.

you don't say but if you are on windows this may be incorrect:
  darktable preferences (the wheel above the images display on lighttable)
  lua
  create txt sidecars  (3rd option on my display)
  
but I don't believe it works as you think.  above will generate *.txt
files matching your images displaying exif data and filename, but I see no
way to display it over an image.

but...

  darktable preferences
  gui options
  miscellaneous (last group)
  overlay txt slidecar over ... (4th from last)

will display the filename and some of the exif (shot) data on mouse-over
image in lighttable and filmstrip in darkroom.  but afaik, not editable.

that is not abnormal action.  you need to adjust filmic to fit your
particular image.  you expect magic?

or:
  copy/backup you library.db
  move the photos
  open library.db in sqlitebrowser
  select browse data
  sort on folder
  select the lines for the moved photos
  in the edit database cell area on the right, insert new location
  save library.db

test for validity

if it didn't work, replace library.db with backup, reimport moved photos


using sqlitebrowser will be much quicker, if it works.

I can use sqlitebrowser on library.db and sort browse data film_rolls
field, select all using , paste  in "edit
database cell" and they are all changed.  that is the closest to a "find &
replace" as I see.

sounds much simpler and a lot quicker than the drudging I subjected my

yes, I just completed the same operation or similar.  I moved a large

I guess I fail to understand this, "writes the year ..."  if you refer to
writing the year as a tag, dt get the tag from the xmp file.

all my files contain copyright $year and the moved files maintained that.

warning, the process took me several days.  part of the extensive time was
having jpg files in part of the collection, requiring I import also jpg
files and then remove the unwanted.  and I did not sit and watch.  removal
of the unwanted jpgs was minor as I knew exactly where they were.

please post your large files to a file sharing service rather than
continually reposting them to the list.  every one on the list is not
interested and some are even on measured and/or very slow service getting

  you provide a lot of information about your desires, but sadly very
  little about your system or dt version.  iianm, what you desire is
  available and has been for some time.  there is a preset for the "lens

a quick thought,
  craft a style with an unused "creator" and apply it on import
  make a group of that import by selecting only images with that creator
  craft another style removing that creator and applying the proper
creator

or change your auto applied creator in dt's config, select those images
with that creator, make group, change creator to what you prefer

or something along those lines.

dt already forces a single client on a single machine using locks on the
db's but nfs/cifs/sshfs apparently do not honor those locks.  so if you
wish to store your db's on remote filesystems, YOU will have to enforce
only one instance of dt accessing those db's.

no, but would be imperative to NOT have but one instance of dt in that
case.

if you NEVER have but one instance of dt running, should not be a problem. 
if fact, dt *should* insure that it's db cannot be utilized by more than
one instance and you would be safe-guarded.  I don't know if dt has that
check and, if not, perhaps you should issue a feature request via redmon.

I utilize nfs/cifs/smb
I don't see a problem as long as you save your xmp file and configure dt
to check for changed xmp files on start up.

what I do is designate one machine as primary and run dt on the secondary
as:  darktable --library :memory:
and check for changed xmp files on startup on the primary/
