with Darktable as my software of choice for editing RAW files and <br>
exporting to JPEG.<br>
<br>
Previously, I've been able to select one or more images in a Digikam <br>
album, right-click on 'Open with...' - and Darktable is the first <br>
option. Easy to use, and the metadata from Digikam would be exported <br>
too, so that the exported JPEG file (which I'd put in a sub-folder) <br>
would have the same metadata as the RAW original. Great!<br>
<br>
But with the latest versions (currently I'm using 7.2), 'Open with...' <br>
has only ShowFoto, and no way to add Darktable to the list that I can <br>
find. So all I've been able to do is open the folder in the file manager <br>
and identify the image(s) by name to load them in Darktable. For my <br>
current project, that's a folder of 334 images, so not much fun! The <br>
metadata isn't exported either, so the JPEGs lose their captions, tags, <br>
etc (I've just seen that I maybe needed to adjust a setting for sidecar <br>
export, but have yet to see if that's the case.)<br>
<br>
I realise that Digikam is a KDE program and with Linux Mint Cinnamon I'm <br>
not running KDE, but this hasn't been a problem till now.<br>
<br>
Digikam and Darktable have been important to the development of my <br>
digital photography skills - can anyone help me get them working happily <br>
together again?<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
