Re: [darktable-user] Transfer of edits from Windows to Linux

[Peter Cripps]

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.

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? (It doesn't look as if 2.4.1 is
available in a Windows version right now.)

you have two different databases.  you must import the images into the
*2nd* system in order for the edits to be read into the db.  If you have
already imported them in the 2nd system, then you need to set your system
to check for new xmp (sidecar) files.  see preferences -> core options ->
"look for updated mp files on startup".

2.4.1 is available on Windows. But I don't think this is the issue. 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.
