That's not a problem for me:
When/if I need an image, I look for it in Digikam, then open it in Darktable. 
_There_ I can see immediately if that image is ready for export.

As I said, I don't export systematically, but as needed and at the size/format 
needed. So changes are I will need to export the image anyway.

If you want to have the processed images always available, the easiest is to 
export to the directory where you have the corresponding raw file. Digikam 
will not realise that the two are versions of the same images (afaik), but 
they will be shown next to one another if you sort by file name.

This system works for *me* with the way I take and use my pictures. But I 
can't say if it's suitable for anyone else, as I don't know his/her needs.
