Does Darktable have a way to export image information (shooting properties) for a selection of photos? I need this information to enter into a database of my photos. I have other software that does this for most formats, but it doesn’t work for raw CR3 files. If Darktable can’t do this, does anyone know a program that can?
If your version of darktable has the proper features, I believe it should work. You can select which metadata to export in the Export module. If it doesn’t work, you can use exiftool to copy the desired data from the raw to the exported file.

You mean only the metadata, not the image, for example into a text file? If so, you can use exiftool or exiv2. Darktable does not have that support.
In theory, it’s also possible to use SQL to extract that info from darktable’s sqlite database library.db.
