Notre avis
darktable is not a direct replacement for Adobe Bridge, as it is a raw developer and editor, not a file browser. If your main goal is managing thousands of files, batch renaming, or viewing PDFs, use digiKam. However, if you primarily use Bridge to preview and lightly edit RAW files before moving to Lightroom, darktable covers that workflow well. It handles metadata and organization via its internal database, but lacks the broad file system navigation and PDF support Bridge provides. Choose it if you want to edit; choose digiKam if you just want to manage.

darktable does not use Adobe Bridge catalogs (.catalog) or .xmp sidecar files in the same way Bridge does for organization. It reads EXIF and IPTC metadata directly from image files or sidecars, so your existing metadata will be visible. However, you cannot import a Bridge catalog to replicate your folder structure or smart collections. You must rebuild your library by importing folders into darktable's database. Exporting images produces standard RAW or JPEG files, which are compatible with any other software.

Can I use darktable to browse my entire hard drive like Bridge?
No. darktable only shows files that have been imported into its database. It is not a general-purpose file manager. For browsing arbitrary folders and file types, use a file manager like Nautilus or Dolphin.
Will my existing Lightroom or Bridge metadata be lost?
No. Metadata stored in the image files or XMP sidecars will be read by darktable. However, organizational data stored only in Bridge catalogs, such as smart collections or specific folder structures, will not transfer and must be recreated.
Does darktable support batch renaming?
darktable has limited renaming capabilities for files within its database, but it is not designed for complex batch renaming of files on the file system. For advanced renaming tasks, use a dedicated tool like pyRenamer or the command line.
