"look for updated XMP files on startup" - worries


Sometimes I work with darktable on 3 computers and it has the option from the title enabled by default.

However, sometimes I know that nothing has changed and then I would like the program not to check for XMP files during startup.

Is it possible to press a key (shift, ctrl, alt?) during darktable startup to skip checking for new XMP files?
Or maybe there is an option to enter in cmdline?

In preferences, storage, you can switch off looking around on startup. I think the default is to not look around.

darktable --conf run_crawler_on_start=FALSE

@apostel338 Thank You.

Where are described options like run_crawler_on_start ?

In the darktablerc file.

There you can see what and how to override.

You might also want to look at the `–conf`` option in the manual
