Digikam raw files and darktable

[Simon Frei]

Hi,

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

Cheers,
Simon
