DESCRIPTIONdarktable is a digital photography workflow application for Linux and
Mac OS X in the lines of Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture.
The application is designed to ease editing and consistent processing
of large photo sessions and provides a easy to use digital light-table
and a set of sophisticated post-processing tools.
Most processing is done in 32-bit floating point per channel mode in
device independent CIE L*a*b* color space. darktable is also fully
color managed, which gives you full control over the look of the
photos.
The application relies on a modern plug-in architecture thus making it
easy for 3rd party developers to extend the existing capabilities of
the application. All light-table and darkroom features are implemented
as plug-ins, so you can create your plug-ins reusing existing code.
COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
IMG_1234.RAW or image_folder/
You may optionally supply the filename of an image or the name of a
folder containing image files. If a filename is given darktable
starts in darkroom view with that file opened. If a folder is given
darktable starts in lighttable view with the content of that folder
as the current collection.
-d <debugoption>
This option enables debug output to the terminal. There are several
subsystems of darktable and debugging of each of them can be
activated separately. You can use this option multiple times if you
want debugging output of more than one subsystem.
A few of those debugoptions are:
control
Enable job queue debugging. If you redirect darktable's output
to control.log and call ./tools/create_control_svg.sh
control.log, you will get a nice control.svg with a
visualization of the threads' work.
cache
This will give you a lot of debugging info about the mipmap
cache for light table mode. If compiled in debug mode, this
will also tell you where in the code a certain buffer has last
been locked.
perf
Use this for performance tweaking your darkroom modules. It
will rdtsc-measure the runtimes of all plugins and print them
to stdout.
all Enable all debugging output.
--disable-opencl
Prevent darktable from initializing the OpenCL subsystem. Use this
option in case darktable crashes at startup due to a defective
OpenCL implementation.
--library <library file>
darktable keeps image information in an sqlite database for fast
access. The default location of that database file is
"$HOME/.config/darktable/library.db". You may give an alternative
location, e.g. if you want to do some experiments without
compromising your original library.db. If the database file does
not exist, darktable creates it for you. You may also give
":memory:" as a library file in which case the database is kept in
system memory - all changes are discarded when darktable
terminates.
--datadir <data directory>
This option defines the directory where darktable finds its runtime
data. The default place depends on your installation. Typical
places are "/opt/darktable/share/darktable/" and
"/usr/share/darktable/".
--moduledir <module directory>
darktable has a modular structure and organizes its modules as
shared libraries for loading at runtime. With this option you tell
darktable where to look for its shared libraries. The default place
depends on your installation; typical places are
"/opt/darktable/lib64/darktable/" and "/usr/lib64/darktable/".
--tmpdir <tmp directory>
The place where darktable stores its temporary files. If this
option is not supplied darktable uses the system default.
--configdir <config directory>
This option defines the directory where darktable stores the user
specific configuration. The default place is
"$HOME/.config/darktable/".
--cachedir <cache directory>
darktable keeps a cache of image thumbnails for fast image preview
and of precompiled OpenCL binaries for fast startup. By default the
cache is located in "$HOME/.cache/darktable/". There may exist
multiple thumbnail caches in parallel - one for each library file.
--localedir <locale directory>
The place where darktable finds its language specific text strings.
The default place depends on your installation. Typical places are
"/opt/darktable/share/locale/" and "/usr/share/locale/".
--luacmd <lua command>
A string containing lua commands to execute after lua
initialization. These commands will be run after your "luarc" file.
If lua is not compiled in, this option will be accepted but won't
do anything
--conf <key>=<value>
darktable supports a rich set of configuration parameters which the
user defines in "darktablerc" - darktable's configuration file in
the user config directory. You may temporarily overwrite individual
settings on the command line with this option - however, these
settings will not be stored in "darktablerc".

HISTORY
The project was started by Johannes Hanika in early 2009 to fill the
gap (or, rather, a black hole) of a digital photography workflow tool
on Linux.
