- BeetleB 7y agoAlthough I and many others use DT to organize photos, the developers are fairly open about not wanting DT to do too much of that. https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/#faq-rename-files https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/#faq-rename-files https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/#faq-filemanager https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/#faq-filemanager They even make it their April Fool's joke: https://www.darktable.org/2011/04/file-management/ https://www.darktable.org/2011/04/file-management/
- caseyf7 7y agoWhat do DT users use for file/digital asset management?
- BeetleB 7y agoCan't speak for others, but what I do: I copy the photos from my camera to my PC. I then use rapid-photo-downloader to bulk rename and move the files to where I store all my DT files. I then import the directory using DT. DT does have some DAM capabilities (tagging, etc). Just don't use it to copy/rename/move.
- LandR 7y agoThis is pretty much my workflow too, manually copy from camera to PC, then import them into Darktable. Edit and delete from within darktable.
