Thank you for making darktable for Windows. I am currently using v2.4.2. Where is the menu to upgrade it to the latest version v2.4.3?

3

There isn’t an auto update mechanism, you need to download the installer from the website

4

Will the Windows v2.4.3 installer be smart enough to detect I have an existing v.2.4.2 and upgrade it so to preserve my darktable database? Or do I have to first uninstall v2.4.2 before installing v2.4.3, and loose my database?

5

I’d always advise backing up important files before upgrading, but unless there is some problem, darktable will use your existing database.

whoa, I didn’t know the new Fujifilm X-H1 was out, thanks for the (indirect) announcement. :wink:

Hello,
I have a problem with this version of darktable…it is impossible for me to import an image or an entire directory because in the file dialog if i click on icon of drive c: the box where the list of directories and file should appears is empty. It is impossible to navigate through the file system. How can i fix this ?

I found also that in the module noise reduction(profiled) there is no profile for my camera (Nikon D3100).

Thank you
