I am only an amateur, plus my folders that become film rolls already have unique names (date+short_description), so I either never noticed or forgot about that. Now it got me thinking that it may solve one of my organizational problems (how to have separate folders, not for DT's eyes, but next to the raw's) Thanks.

There is an option to show more than one folder level in the name of fil rolls (https://darktable.gitlab.io/doc/en/preferences_chapter.html#gui_options_misc) Regards, Guillermo darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org

Re: [darktable-user] Lighttable - filmroll question
Guilermo, thanks for good answer. I will try that. It fits my needs as I do not have subfolders with more images, but I do have that "nef" folder level for hundreds of my galleries. Pascal, I was not going to rename the actual filesystem folder, I like to keep the name as it is. I wanted to have filmroll to have custom name, like label or something. I hope some future versions of DT will have that ability. I like the software! Keep rolling!

Re: [darktable-user] Lighttable - filmroll question
Select the images to place in a new folder (or all off them) and just move them into a new folder. That's the way to rename a folder Le mar. 14 avr. 2020 à 18:42, Nikolay Karasev a écrit : > Hi, I hope I am sending inquiry correctly (first time here) > > In Lighttable when importing images I selected folder as this is most > convenient way to work with my images.

Re: [darktable-user] Lighttable - filmroll question
Hi, there is no way to rename folders or film rolls within darktable, they map exactly what the folder is named on the system. You have at least two options: - in GUI options -> miscellaneous, change the "number of folder levels to show in lists" to something that gives you unique names when using the "film rolls" filter. I use 2, so I can have subfolders with the same name inside an uniquely named parent - instead of using the "film rolls" filter, use the "folders" filter (although any level will also show the pictures inside the sublevels, so it can be a problem for nested structures) I find the first option better, unless you have very long folder names.

[darktable-user] Lighttable - filmroll question
Hi, I hope I am sending inquiry correctly (first time here) In Lighttable when importing images I selected folder as this is most convenient way to work with my images. All my folders (with 1000s of images) are organized so the raw files are in subfolder called "nef" (i.e. nikon raw). When filmroll imported this way, all I see is a list of rolls that all have the same name: nef(92) where the number shows count of images in that folder. I expected to find a way to rename this roll to something I can recognize, but I cannot find any such option. How do I deal with this?
