In Adobe Lightroom there is a concept of "publishing service". Its a collection that has a "publish" option, which exports just the images added to the collection after the "publish" action was last triggered as well as those pictures that were previously, but they have been adjusted. It can export to disk/flickr/facebook etc. It also holds export settings, target directory, etc.
How to set up something similar in darktable? Currently I can export entire collection to disk and rsync the result to the target folder, but in case I add 10 pictures to the collection holding 300 pictures, then it means vast majority of pictures are needlessly re-exported.
Darktable allows styles for the export module. Among other settings a style will store the chosen behavior when an image with the same name exists in the destination directory. The options are to create a new file with unique name, overwrite the existing file, or skip exporting the file.
Skipping the export seems like the option you probably want to select for a new style in the export module. The new style can also save a dedicated file system location, if that is also part of your workflow.
