</div></div>So you are telling me that if we want to process a raw file and manage a<br>
library with DK, we have to stay with the simply DK raw processor instead of<br>
using a much more powerful one like darktable? Do you really think that people<br>
out there use the DK raw processor to process their images?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>But digiKam is not DarkTable. The way to mix both cannot be done.

We have plenty of jobs to do, DarkTable is not a priority for the moment.</div><div><br></div><div>Gilles Caulier</div></div></div></div>
