First thing to do is open a bugzilla issue where you describe what
you want:<br class="gmail_msg">

There you probably get better pointers for where to start from
experienced devs, I never worked with that part of the code. This is
the function that creates thumbnails:<br class="gmail_msg">

<br class="gmail_msg">
Do I understand you correctly: You want thumbnails of raw
files that are<br class="gmail_msg">
adjusted based on the processing profiles of darktable?<br class="gmail_msg">
If that is the case, it is (currently) not possible in
digikam. And such<br class="gmail_msg">
a function would certainly be very resource heavy, as for
every<br class="gmail_msg">
thumbnail on every change darktable had to process the raw
file.<br class="gmail_msg">
The interface between digikam and other photo editing
software could<br class="gmail_msg">
certainly be improved (e.g. versioning too), so I would be
very happy if<br class="gmail_msg">
you would work on that in any way;)<br class="gmail_msg">
