All the bt’s seem to have the same exact complaint:
darktable.exe caused an Access Violation at location 0000000063609D54 in module libdarktable.dll Writing to location 000000000000041C.

Make sure library.db wasn’t corrupted by the power outrage.

You can specify a database using the command line switch.

So are you proposing I specify a new database or something?

EDIT:

  1. started dt via darktable.exe --library C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\darktable\library2.db
  2. Began importing folder that previously cause unhandled exception
  3. sit and wait (so far, so good)
  4. Success

the db must be corrupted. Thankfully I have sidecars for every file. Guess I just delete the old db and start importing things. Due to the folder name changes I needed to re-import about 80% of my photo collection anyway.
