Setting up digiKam to use darktable as Image Editor

[noname at fastmail.net]

OS: Linux Mint 22
digiKam 8.7.0

OK, I installed the latest version of darktable (4.6) that my responsitory had and can invoke darktable as the image editor in digiKam by making the choice in Configure digiKam. I didn't find that the process worked very well or consistently, and will revert to adding to darktable's library when I want to edit some RAW images. I have darktable configured to return the exported images to the same folder in digiKam that they came out of which helps me keep track of my images.

Best Regards,

Jay Rutherford
