copy Physically copy selected images (the image file plus all associated XMP sidecars) to another folder on the filesystem. If an image with the given filename already exists in the target folder the source image will not be moved.

move Physically move selected images (the image files plus all associated XMP sidecars) to another folder on the filesystem. A second configuration item in the same tab allows you to control whether or not to be prompted before deleting images. You can control whether this action irrevocably deletes the files or attempts to put them into your system’s trash bin with a configuration item in preferences > security. If no duplicates of a removed image remain in the darktable library, the image file itself is also deleted. delete / delete (trash) Remove the selected images from the darktable library and remove any associated XMP sidecar files from the filesystem. As darktable keeps the XMP files up-to-date with your latest development history, you can fully restore your work later by re-importing the images. Removed images can no longer be viewed or edited within darktable but the image files remain on the filesystem along with any XMP sidecar files.

🔗images tab remove Remove the selected images from the darktable library without deleting them. The module controls are spread over two tabs for manipulating the image files and the related metadata. Perform actions on images that have been selected in the lighttable view.
