To answer myself - there is no "Open file" functionality. Images need to be "Imported to database".

  The UI takes a long time to get used to. The concept of film rolls is a little weird and knowing which functionality is available in what context is also often not very intuitive.

  You can actually sort of just open a file directly by running darktable <filename> which will open the file in the editor (the darkroom in darktable parlance; the file is automatically added to the database). I suppose if you don't care about the photo library management aspects of darktable, you could use it like this entirely, especially since apparently 3.6 adds an export button in the darkroom. https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/3.6/en/special-topics/program-invocation/darktable/ https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/3.6/en/special-topics/p...
