Re: [darktable-user] Problem report with configuration using darktable 3.2.1
Thanks for the idea, August. Unfortunately, after adding "-d all" and then finding the log file, it did not show anything relevant or useful. Only two lines in the 580KB file containing "error" or "fail" and those were failing to find luarc or darktable.css files. I doubt if they are relevant. Doug C.

You might try adding '-d sql' to the Darktable options in your script.

[darktable-user] Problem report with configuration using darktable 3.2.1
Complete newbie to darktable here. I have waited for 3.2 to begin my darktable experience but have immediately run into problems. I have installed Darktable 3.2.1 on Windows 10 64-bit using the installer from darktable.org/install. Fast i7 processor, fast GPU, 64GB RAM, lots of storage space. When I first ran it using all defaults and imported some images all looked and worked fine. However, I want to keep my images on external, removable storage and I want to keep the darktable library there also so the library on the external volume holds all the edits for the images on that volume. This way I can move the external storage between 3 different computers and always have the latest edits available. To test this on my main computer I put images on the external volume N:\2020 in folders by month and day. I created an empty folder named N:\darktable which is where I want the library to go. I then created this command script: @echo off cd /d "%~dp0" start "darktable for %~dp0" darktable --library %~dp0darktable\library.db When I run it darktable starts I see N:\>startdt N:\>cd /d "N:\" N:\>start "darktable for N:\" darktable --library N:\darktable\library.db which looks exactly the way it should. The N:\darktable folder now contains N:\>dir n:\darktable Volume in drive N is P-2020-3A Volume Serial Number is D4E5-96D2 Directory of n:\darktable 08/11/2020 02:00 PM . 08/11/2020 02:00 PM .. 08/11/2020 02:00 PM 0 library.db 08/11/2020 02:00 PM 0 library.db-pre-3.2.1 08/11/2020 02:00 PM 6 library.db.lock 3 File(s) 6 bytes 2 Dir(s) 53,829,632,000 bytes free which is also exactly what I expected. At this point darktable is running and using the library on N:\darktable but using all other defaults (for data.db and darktablerc). I can import the same image files as before but now the problem: When in lighttable, clicking on any star, or X to reject an image, I see the message popup that says the operation is being done but there is no indication in the UI that it has. All stars remain hollow. The X remains plain (unchecked). These operations worked fine when I started darktable with all defaults. In fact, I can re-start darktable using all defaults and it will again function correctly. So the question is, what else do I need to do when starting darktable from my script to get it to behave when using the library on external media? darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
