darktable windows insider program 8/14

I don’t recall seeing that error. To check your setting open a UCRT terminal and do
env | grep XDG
and see what it shows.

Mine shows
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/ucrt64/share/:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/

If I do it in a MINGW terminal it shows /mingw64/share/ as the first directory

If it’s wrong then to fix it in the terminal do
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/ucrt64/share/:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/"
