Good evening everyone. Thank you very much for many answers and for sharing your point of view that I share. For sure I'll continue to use an image organizer as a selection base and I'll configure it (good suggestion) in such a way that it opens directly the files in DT. Now I use XnView MP in Windows environment, but I will see if I can find better, although I don't think so. Grazie Maurizio, for recommending Digikam, but it's not for me considering that for better or worse it always requires importing into a database and I don't like that.
To understand: my philosophy is to manage the amount of data according to a criterion based on names and codes given to the folders and store iptc data (keyword) inside the jpeg files so that now as in the future, with any software and on any platform I can find everything with the same criterion; and everything is disconnected from a central database or software. Anyway.... yes DarkTable is slightly slow in the process of displaying and "browsing" files AFTER importing the entire my archive. So I guess I will try to import only small pieces as needed. I also read among your replies that I was advised by Guillermo to "ignore" the DB generation, did I understand correctly? I don't understand how it works and how to do it. Thank you and I'm happy that you have replied many, this indicates that the community is structured. with gratitude Lorenzo Fontanella http://www.lorenzofontanella.it Il giorno ven 8 ott 2021 alle ore 11:35 Terry Pinfold <tpinf...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > Yes, that's it.
