These operations can be found in the selected images module in the lighttable.įor safety reasons, if local copies exist and the external storage is available, the local XMP sidecars are automatically synchronized at start up. At a later point, when your primary storage medium has been reconnected, you can synchronize the XMP sidecar files back to this storage, deleting any local copies. Local copies are always used when present, giving continued access to images even if the external storage is no longer connected. You can create local copies of selected images from within the lighttable. The “local copies” feature of darktable has been designed to directly support these use cases. However, copying images manually from the main storage to the laptop and back is cumbersome and prone to errors. It is a common requirement to develop a number of images while travelling using a laptop and then later synchronize them back to the original storage medium. Many users have huge image collections stored on extra hard drives in their desktop computer, or on an external storage medium (RAID NAS, external hard drives etc.).
