darktable for Windows

I’d put them into the user file and not the install directory. The latter might be cleared when updating darktable. I didn’t try it, they might be kept, but better safe than sorry.
The folder itself is not created by default, so go to C:\Users\Pascal\AppData\Local\darktable\ and create the folder color in there. Inside that you need to create in and out folders.

I’m also interested in the debug output from my last build. That should tell us if darktable does something wrong, or if exiv2 is giving us a localized string.

That sounds as if darktable was still calculating the bigger preview. Try hovering over the image, hitting z, releasing it, waiting a few seconds, then hit z again. Does it now show the proper resolution?

What program did you use to edit darktablerc? It needs to be a text editor writing plain text files, not Word or something similar.

No, it’s not.

Thanks a lot ! I could have thought about it, but it’s not in the logic of a windows install.
A drop-down box with the contents of the profile system directory would have made more sense.

Ok, thanks a lot ! In principle, uninstalling only removes the files originally installed.
Cordially.

I have tested it before for about 30 seconds. But now with the new version after reboot, I don’t know the config remains (plugins/lighttable/low_quality_thumbnails=FALSE) I have no idea why but anyway :grinning:

I used notepad++

I did not know that additional log :slight_smile: So here are the results (ech time the XMP file has been deleted before starting dt and importing the image):

Those look all good to me. I suppose that in all three cases darktable puts the image on the correct spot on the map for you?

@csierra02: Did you try the latest build? I would really like to see the debug output with French settings, i.e., when dt fails.

Yes, all three cases properly appeared on the map

@houz

Yes I installed the latest build and imported the jpg file.
Conditions : windows 10 number settings in French and dt in French
Place on the map was correct. I then imported a raw file with the GPS
cordinates in the xmp file. Correct place : Cape Verde Islands.
dt put the picture to the East, at about Sudan.
Let me know where I can find the debug information for you.

The filename is darktable-log.txt. Here that’s put into C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/darktable/ but other Windows versions have slightly different locations for that temp folder.
Just find the file, delete it, start darktable, import the images, close darktable, then grab the newly created file and show us what’s in there.

I searched for the file for 1/2 hour but did not find it at Users/User
Name/Appdata…Not sure it exists

Did you try using the search box in the Windows Explorer (top right) to search your whole C: drive?

If I may suggest a freeware, but not open source program, I am using Everything, a lightweight and very fast searching tool. If you know (a part of) the file/folder name, you can locate it instantly.

(Sorry for the interruption.)

On Windows 10 this is the location:
C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\darktable

Here we go

darktable-log.txt (662 Bytes)

BTW, how can i set folders on top in import/move window?

These coordinates in the log are matching exactly the other log. Were the pictures located properly on the map?

For that the /share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml file should be modified (key “sort-directories-first”), and then the updated schema should be compiled by glib-compile-schemas.exe. Unfortunately that tool is not included in the GTK runtime or in dt installer.

Just a wild guess: Is there an .gpx file in the image folder?
