How to find all files with PP3 extentions that have BEEN EDITED, setting RT so that photo is not marked viewed unless actually edited?

Hello. I need to find all the files I have worked on in RAW therapee that I have edited, so that I can batch process them all. They are on varying drives, folders, etc. Also is there a setting that will not cause files to be marked with a green checkmark if all I have done is viewed them, but not actually edited them? Or way to set RT to not create PP3 file for images I have not made any changes to with RT processing?

Thanks.

Not yet. There is a branch which attempts to solve that, but progress is stalled:

At the moment as I move through my files in the editor window a pp3 file is crea…ted for each one I look at. I think that such a file should only be created if I change something from the default profile (or I explicitly request the file to be created). This would make the tick badge more useful by showing those files I have actually edited. It would stop unnecessary writes to disk. It would avoid writing the current defaults to a file, when they may change or improve in a future release.

Oh. Ok. Is there some section of the forums I should officially post this as a suggestion/request to help the developers know which suggestions are being requested significant percentage of users?

As you saw, it had already been requested and work had already started.
