purge non existing images from the database

[ddittmar]

Describe the solution you'd like

I like to purge non existing images from the database with a button in the UI

Alternatives

If managed to clean the database from within the flatpak:

1. flatpak run --command=sh org.darktable.Darktable
2. and then in flatpak: /app/share/darktable/tools/purge_non_existing_images.sh -c ~/.var/app/org.darktable.Darktable/config/darktable/ --purge

... but that's kind a cumbersome and a technical solution.

This had already been asked (good to search and would have been better so to ask to reopen this old issue): #12554

Remember just 2 things:

• darktable is made freely on their free time by a small team of developers. So this will be done only if one want to do that and spent time on it
• flatpak packages are not supported by darktable team
