Re: [darktable-user] XMP file always overwritten by dt
Hello Dear Darktable, I am trying to download the latest update that is available from your site, and I am stuck with the enclosed unchecked boxes. Could it be a protective option my end, either way I am unable to download the latest (I had 3.0 but was asked would I like to remove previous one in the process of downloading the latest version) Please help me.
