Hi, Can anyone tell me how to use darktable gimp plug-in to get images directly from DT to Gimp without having to export them in one format from DT and then open them in Gimp?
I use DT almost exclusively with photos, but sometimes I have to use Gimp and a plug-in would be very welcome. I have Darktable Unstable and Gimp 2.9.3 (unstable), both from PPAs, running on Ubuntu 16.04.
