If you want to move/remove/delete an image. So at a guess, you will always want the "folder" option If you have folders within Folders, remember to select the "import directories recursively" option on the import screen. The "Folder" option will import all images in that folder without the need to select them individually. When you select import, the "image" option allows a manual selection of one or more images to import. Some people will then use DT to weed out the images they do not want after import, others, myself included, weed out the unwanted images using other software first before using DT. There is a move option in DT but I find it a bit cumbersome so rarely use it. Hopefully I can help ease this a bit:ĭT does not move the images for you, so I always move the images to their final destination first before importing. DT does not work quite like Lightroom so I can appreciate the confusion. The first 4-5 are a good intro to using Darktable. I second having a look at Bruce Williams' tutorials - start at number 01. Here is the manual entry for using the Selected Images panel: Then I filter to rejected only (the 'view' drop down above the pics in lightable) to check these are all & only pics I want to delete, then select all and delete selected images. I scroll through lightable view and mouse-over and click R on any images I want to remove. I have mapped a keyboard shortcut to 'R' for Reject in lightable view. So you select the images you want to delete and then click this - but beware that it physically deletes from disk to the Trash bin (it should give you a prompt) - otherwise use 'remove' to remove from Darktable but keep the physical file. In Lighttable View at top right under 'Selected Images' there is a Trash option. (Let me post this, then try to copy my screenshots.) Please let me know if this is the way it should look. Not sure if (as a new user) I'm allowed t attach a screen capture, but I'll try. How do I "right click" (if that's how it is done) to delete an image from DT and from disk? Is my way of "importing" as described above correct? Somehow I eventually got my 20 images to appear in the large "box" on top, and they also appeared in the "filmstrip" area down below when I click on "darkroom". In the "lighttable" area, nothing works the way I expected. (I played around with the "darkroom", and eventually things seemed to be working the way I expected. I think this is correct, but I don't understand the difference, and more importantly, which I should select. The first time I tried importing, I clicked on "folder", but this time I clicked on "image". I guess I need to organize where photos will be before I use DT, so under that main folder I created a folder for 2020, and a few more sub-folders, and finally a folder into which I moved 20 images. I gave up on sorting this out, and deleted all the files located under my Darktable folder where I wanted my photos. Things didn't seem to be working that way, and eventually DT thought I had ten or so "film strips". I thought that "import" would move images into a Darktable file system, similar to Lightroom. Darktable is version 3.0.0 now.īefore I ask any specific questions, maybe the following would help me with the basics. I'm using a MacBook Pro computer, running Catalina. I reinstalled it yesterday, then watched a couple of videos, and I thought I was set. I'm stubborn about these things, and I'd like to get it working. I installed DarkTable a few months ago, but got stuck "with no way out".
