And there's a 3.2 on the way for august. And so lot of bugs have been solved since 2.4.2 and lot of things has been improved...

If you want those bugs to be solved (at least check that they are), update darktable to last one (3.0.2) or better, wait for august to see 3.2 release. The 3.2 will be way more stable than 3.0.2.

Have you checked against the latest release version 3.0.2?

2.4.x is really old.

    Hi

    I am using darktable 2.4.2 on Linux Mint 19 Tara \n \l

    Have been using this for some years.

    However earlier because I was not exporting images for use on a
    site that uses exif data to organize the pictures the "bugs" did
    not bother me - now they do

    *First Bug - Random change in exif date*
    Specifically the bug seems to be that Darktable randomly changes
    the exif date (and time) of when the picture was taken.

    I shoot in Nikon raw format (.nef) and have usually been exporting
    images to jpeg using the naming format as below
    $(EXIF_YEAR)$(EXIF_MONTH)$(EXIF_DAY)_foo_name_$(FILE_NAME)

    This is when I started realizing that Darktable was messing up the
    dates. Two files taken in a sequence are set many months apart
    with the wrong date set randomly to some period earlier.

    I normally work directly on the SD Card for immediate processing
    and later work of my external Hard Drive for more careful
    processing and organizing .

    Googling, for this error, does not throw up any results - but
    maybe I did not google the correct terms.

    *Second Bug - Darktable keeps showing old deleted files in the
    darktable browser.*
    The reference environment is the same. However while working from
    / on the sd card darktable seems to pick up long deleted files -
    and shows many of them some from more than a year ago.

    I have formatted the SD cards multiple times - I have deleted the
    thumbnails and darktable caches from the Linux system - but these
    ghost files keep appearing - they appear as blanks on the
    lighttable - but there are 100's and to get to the actual files
    with content I have to scroll quite far down.

    ***

    *I really like Darktable *- it is my favorite go to software and
    has made life very easy for post processing and exporting to
    easily distributable formats.

    So thank you very much

    kind regards
    ram
