[darktable-user] Lighttable filter

[Coding Dave]

Hi,

I have a Nikon camera with 2 slots and set them to put JPG on one and RAW
on the other. This makes the camera only delete one or the other when
deleting from the camera itself, it looses track of the coupled images.
Now I am looking for a way to remove the other one. So I would be
interested in a filter that shows all files which dont have both a
$FILENAME.NEF and a $FILENAME.JPG but only one of them.

Do you have an idea for helping me out here?

Kind regards
Dave

Hey Dave,

try using the filename filter in combination with the G in the upper
right corner in lighttable.

Did you try your solution?

The G groups JPGs and Raws together. So imagine I have A.JPG, A.RAW, B.JPG,
C.RAW, D.JPG, D.RAW I will see 4 images if I turn G on and 6 if I turn it
off. However, having G on does not help me remove B and C because it also
shows A and D.
What I am looking for is a way to filter the images s.t. I see only B.JPG
and C.RAW because there is no corresponding second image.

If I missed something, please update me on your thoughts.

Kind regards

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, it's how I've filtered for jpegs with/without corresponding raws
in the past. As you've stated, it won't help if you want to show B.JPG
*AND* C.RAW. I've misread that in your OP.

Ah okay, now you can use the script and as a result you will find your
single images (corresponding one missing) marked red. That makes it very
easy to revoke after review.

a simple bash script or maybe someone has written an LUA script,

For me that's the kind of thing to do through a shell script, before import
into darktable:
import all files from the cards into a directory,
run a script that removes the unwanted (orphaned) files
(for each .NEF: if no corresponding JPG exists, remove .NEF;
for each .JPG: if no corresponding .NEF exists, remove .JPG;),
import the directory into darktable.
Of course, this requires a certain discipline when importing your files, in
that the relative paths from NEF to JPG should stay the same.

That said, I use a combination of Digikam (sorting, tagging and adding
captions and titles) and Darktable (global editing), sometimes Gimp (detailed
editing, e.g. wire removal).

On a side note, I've heard it said that it's better not to remove individual
files due to the nature of the card memory. Best seems to be to just fill up the
card, and remove all files after transfer (and backup) through an in-camera
format of the card.

Hi,

sure, I can write some script and do some filtering on filenames and
forward it to the non-revocable rm -rf $files - but this is very dangerous
and error prone.
It would be nice to have a visual feedback of the picked items and to be
able to work on them with reject/0 stars like we always do in darktable.
Darktable has powerful filtering tools based on tags, properties, file
types, etc. I was wondering maybe I just did not yet spot the property that
I can use for easily achieving my goal.

the script would only be dangerous if you failed to provide proper checks
within. you do not have to delete the files immediately, consider moving
them to another directory and then deleting the directory after
inspection. you are constrained only by yourself.

Hi Dave,

I had a related problem once (see
https://www.mail-archive.com/darktable-***@lists.darktable.org/msg04024.html
). For me the solution was a LUA script I posted on thist list (think I
didn't manage to upload it to the lua-scripts-repo):

https://www.mail-archive.com/darktable-***@lists.darktable.org/msg04055.html

It brings the JPG-Version of an Image to the front of the
(RAW+JPG)-group stack, as the default order ist RAW front, JPG to the back.
Maybe you can adapt it to check for pairs and the select the JPG or the
RAWs - then you can execute the script via a hotkey, see the result in
lighttable (the selection) and then delete as needed.

Hope that helps,
Regards,

   Felix

Hi Felix,

thats the kind of helpful message I expected by asking in the users mailing
lst. Thank you for your idea and sample code. I have modified it to my
needs and am very happy with the results.

Kind regards
David

---SCHNIPP---
local dt = require "darktable"

-- function to get number of images in group
local function tablelength(T)
local count = 0
for _ in pairs(T) do count = count + 1 end
return count-1
end

-- Mark all RAWs red that are lacking their corresponding JPG and vice
versa
-- We do this by checking the items in the group.
-- Since we assume that this script is called directly after importing and
we want to find the images that are lacking their counterpart (a.NEF but
not a.JPG and vice versa) we can get them by looking at the group size.
If this is 1 its clear that the counterpart is missing.
local function mark_isolated_files_red()
local images = dt.gui.action_images

-- check if there are selected images
if next(images) == nil then
dt.print("no images selected")
return true
end

for _,v in pairs(images) do
local members = v:get_group_members()
-- check if the group size is 1
if tablelength(members) == 1 then
for _, m in ipairs(members) do
m.red = true
end
end
end
end

dt.register_event("shortcut",function(event, shortcut)
