Notre avis
darktable can replace XnView for users who mainly work with raw images and need a non‑destructive editing workflow. It covers viewing, batch conversion, basic edits, and metadata handling, but it is geared toward photographers rather than general image browsing. If you only need a simple viewer or quick conversions, XnView remains lighter; if you want advanced raw processing and a database‑based library, darktable is a solid choice.

Ouvrir vos fichiers XnView
darktable can open most common image formats that XnView handles, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and many RAW files. It can export to the same formats. XnView’s proprietary XnView format (.xnv) is not supported by darktable, so any projects saved in that format will need to be exported first.
Passer de XnView à darktable, étape par étape
- Export all images from XnView to a common format (e.g., JPEG or TIFF) if they are in a proprietary format.
- Move the exported files to a new folder and launch darktable.
- Use the lighttable mode to import the folder into darktable’s database.
- Re‑apply any metadata or tags by editing the image properties in darktable.
- Adjust any batch conversion settings in darktable’s export dialog to match your previous workflow.
- Verify that all images appear correctly and that edits are applied as expected.

Does darktable support the same file formats as XnView?
