Synopsis

A collection of experimental scripts and examples.

• scrubMetadataOnExport.lua

  This script extends darktables "export selected" module with a target storage option "scrub metadata". This serves as an example of how to automatically run external programs on exported images. You should adapt it to your own use case.

• myExportProcess.lua

  A slightly more elaborate version of the above. That's what I actually use.

• applyStyleOnImport.lua

  Registers one style which is automatically applied on all new imports.

Installation

$ dtConfigDir="${HOME}/.config/darktable"
$ luaScripts="${dtConfigDir}/lua"

Copy, git-clone or symlink this directory into $luaScripts. You may change the name of this directory from dtscripts to something else in order to omit conflicts, see Note below.

Example: From the directory of this README

$ ln -sT "$(realpath .)" "${luaScripts}/dtscripts"

Then require the desired scripts from luarc. The result might look like this:

$ cat "${dtConfigDir}/luarc"
require('dtscripts/scrubMetadataOnExport')

Note: If you've named the symlink ${luaScripts}/foobar instead, you'd have to require('foobar/scrubMetadataOnExport').
