Hi,
I know darktable “imports” styles one gets from other users.
I wonder how “presets” are imported, if they can be.
In other words, where darktable stores the presets (under Linux)?
Presets are stored in data.db. I’m not sure you can import them, but you could write them directly to the database.

Thank you.
Then I understand that, unlike “styles”, presets are essentially home-made and they are meant to be used as such.
Seems to be a sound decision.

THAT is great!
Thank you, Todd.
A ‘style’ contains a complete history stack with multiple modules and several instances of them.
A ‘preset’ contains settings for a single module only.
You can import a preset in the global options menu on the ‘presets’ page. On the lower left there is a import button.
Forgot how to export presets, maybe it’s somewhere in the manual.

Thank you! I have never noticed that menu.
Presets, and styles for that matter, can help working in a faster and more consistent way.
That is why I am trying to learn more about them.
I hope I can find the recording format (probably *.txt) somewhere.
Thanks again,
