Re: [darktable-user] Transfer of edits from Windows to Linux
Thanks Patrick. As it happens, a couple of minutes ago I found the "look for updated xmp files on startup" option. Problem fixed! Then I saw your reply. Classic case of 'crossing in the mail'. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Re: [darktable-user] Transfer of edits from Windows to Linux
Thanks Pascal. After seeing your comment, I found 2.4.1, and installed it on Windows. (Previously I was getting it from the link on the pixls.us site.) Anyway, as you say, it doesn't fix the problem. I'll try reinstalling the Linux version now, although I can't imagine that has anything to do with it. On 02/25/2018 10:59 AM, Pascal Obry wrote: Peter, This used to work at one point.

It should be possible to use 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 together as the later is only a corrective release fully compatible with 2.4.0. darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org

[darktable-user] Transfer of edits from Windows to Linux
I have darktable installed on two machines: 2.4.0rc0 on Windows, and 2.4.1 on Linux. If I make edits on the Windows machine, close darktable, and then open on Linux, the edits don't carry over. Same in the reverse direction, Linux to Windows. This used to work at one point. If I open earlier images, the same edits appear on both systems. I'm wondering if this is caused by having different versions of darktable on each machine?
