dt 4.2.1 (OBS), Linux Mint 21,Ubuntu 22.04 jammy I have an image from March 2020 developed in darktable. I went back to it today to try another edit on it (its a monochrome rendition that I just can't get 'right').
However, today when I created a duplicate of this 2020 image in dt 4.2.1, it was given version number '3' - which already exists for that image (there are seven pre-existing duplicates). I see that dt has also given the new duplicate a different 'image id' to the original RAW image. I've never seen this before, although its not often I go back in time like this. My workflow is that I always create a new version (duplicate) of the base RAW for a different edit so I can trace back any final output that may result. My filenaming system is '<filename>_<version number>_<colorspace>_<max size>' where filename is composed of '<YYYYMMDD_projectname_original camera filename>'. Original camera images are renamed during download onto my workstation via a bespoke script (ie outside dt). I use variables in the dt export module to ensure any output follows this format. This provides unique identification of every image and its derivatives across my libraries, even when intermediate tiffs are involved in say, focus stacks. This is critical for me - I can't have two different edits of a RAW with the same filename! Why has it happened and what can I do about it?
