darktable: I have begun using this app. One question, how are unwanted fill rolls removed from 'collect images'. There are several fill rolls I created from folders that I no longer want to keep in darktable. How can I delete these? I can see nothing!

    @RomeoNinov It's a question about how to use software that organizes and processes photographs. Part of photography is managing the images one has captured, whether that is via storing negatives in a file cabinet or organized digital image files using software. – Michael C Jun 19 '20 at 14:12

There is indeed no remove button for film rolls in darktable; according to the program's developers, this is a feature, not a bug.

You can remove a film roll, however, by opening the roll, selecting all photos in the roll and clicking 'remove' under 'selected image(s)' in the right-hand toolbar. This will remove those photos from darktable's database but not delete the photos from your file system (if the latter outcome is desired, click 'trash' instead).

  • Thanks. That both answers my question and tells me what I need to do. – Iain Reed Jun 20 '20 at 16:36
  • Based on the “not a bug” elaboration at the end of the linked page, it’s not a bug in the sense that it isn’t an error of the code’s logic. However, it isn’t a feature either - it’s missing functionality that should be logged as a “feature request”, not a “bug report”. Semantics, perhaps, but at least they’re not against that functionality. – Lawrence Jun 22 '20 at 23:44
