What I understand is that dt is used to work on an image: You have the original image, raw or jpeg, and want to process it somehow. After you finish your work, you export it, generating the final image. So, its final. You can you any image viewer to see the result. I use the Gnome Image Viewer to view them, and am very comfortable with it.
If you re-import it, dt will create sidecar files for them, even if you wont re-process them. In fact, if something went wrong and you need to re-process it, you'll normally do it on the original file. Maybe duplicating the sidecar, so you can save both versions, if it's the case. So I, as a dt user, don't see reason to re-import an exported image. My two cents ;-)) (I love this phrase ;-)) Best regards, André Felipe 2016-10-19 16:13 GMT-02:00 William Ferguson <wpfergu...@gmail.com>: > I created contrib/export2collection.lua that adds a new exporter, file to > collection.
