Currently my dt 3.0 does not export/save (to JPG). Did anything go wrong somewhere in my setup or is that a known bug - or is there a workaround?
You’ll need to elaborate way more, please.

Well, image isn’t sometimes not exported to JPG. So nothing happens. Sometimes it works. It might be related to the Contrast Equalizer (subfunction: clarity). Another anamality, after that happens I can work normally (but not export), but can’t close dt. I need Task manager to shut it down.
I should probably start with a remove/re-install I guess. Just wondering if i was the only one with exporting issues on Windows.
Windows? Version?
Any special directory you cannot save to? Like a net share?
Darktable - from where did you obtain it?
3.0.0
Just did a new install (fresh d/l from Github), same problem.
dt is installed on C, target folder is on same drive. So nothing portable.
Closing dt brings it to ‘Not Responding’ with a high CPU load of about 60%
Next, doing a removal via Windows, and another fresh install - same problem.
Files are ARW (compressed), that is Sony.
Here is a sample XMP and a link to the image:
DSC08325.ARW.xmp (16.8 KB)
I’m travelling right now and have only access to one PC (or notebook) and haven’t tested if I can reproduce it on my other (desktop) PCs, this need to wait a few days.
Is it installed in the canonical location? C:\Program Files\Prgram Name? Or just to the C:?
Can you start it from powershell with the option -d all and see what the terminal says?
The path is the default path:
C:\Program Files\darktable\bin
Powershell so far just echoes the command:
PS C:\Program Files\darktable\bin> ‘darktable.exe -d’
darktable.exe -d
I need to do more reading on PS I guess, will do that later.
You probably need .\darktable.exe -d all
This works and opens dt:
PS C:\program files\darktable\bin> .\darktable.exe -d all
dt opens normally. PS does not echo anything back. So what I should test now?
(response will take a while, have to get out now to take more pix)
Repeat the actions that cause the issue for you.
Hi @st.raw,
No issue on my PC (Win10+dt3.0).
I can export it.

Windows doesn’t echo the log to the terminal, but places it in a separate file in (Win10)
Windows 10:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\darktable\darktable-log.txt
See https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/ almost at the end.

I can open dt via PowerShell just fine, I get the same problem though, and there is no PS echo or log (no darktable-log.txt).
What else I can try?
Update I:
I tried an old bat file that I used during dt RC times:
start /d " C:\program files\darktable\bin" darktable.exe --configdir C:\program files\darktable\userdata\config
This works fine. So I presume something with the data that is under \user\ has some issues, maybe that does not get removed when you de-install dt.
Update 2:
Removed dt again, removed manually the dt folder in \users\... - seems to work all fine now. So most likely some db corruption.
