Fixed the xmp file problem. Here’s a zip file with the patched darkroom.c (just drop it over src/views/darktable.c then recompile and reinstall) with the version of filetether that uses it. This should put you in darkroom view, if you select it, and keep you there as each file is imported. Once it’s imported it should be displayed in darkroom view without all the jumping around.
The only thing I’ve noticed is when I drop 3 or 4 files, the import order is not always what I expect. I sort the list by time, so the time the file is copied is what gets used to decide the import order. So if I import file1.jpg, file2.jpg, file3.jpg, and file4.jpg the import order may be 1, 4, 3, 2. So in darkroom view it selects 2 as the image to display and 4 is the image at the end of the filmroll. I could always sort the diff list and import in name order.
