"LCh reconstruction" was pure garbage in all the cases (all the images) i had tried using it, before rewrite. If you never noticed that, then the rewrite should be unnoticeable for you :) As for "reconstruct color", yeah, it is buggy. It works for small overexposed areas, but not large-ones. if time permits, i plan on working on proper highlight inpainting module... >> - Support running on platforms other than x86 (64bit little-endian, currently >> ARM64 only) (https://www.darktable.org/2016/04/running-on-non-x86-platforms/) > > Are there plans particular use-case in mind in the roadmap?

Less crashy, in extreme cases (the max stack size is usually bound to 8Mb even for 64bit glibc, if one tries to use more stack (e.g. via VLA), it segfaults). > Just wondering (and looking for something to write in the article), but in > any case, it's cool to see dt more portable. > >> - Nicer web gallery exporter -- now touch friendly! > > Is there a public demo that I could link to anywhere? >> - Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size >> under >> ~64Kb > > What happens if one crosses this limit? > Or just drop some EXIF data arbitrarily? Not arbitrarily, https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/08f232f24890f52da951a6f29b9559c6f01637a5/src/common/exif.cc#L1164-L1179 https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/08f232f24890f52da951a6f29b9559c6f01637a5/src/common/exif.cc#L1192-L1249 > Would the export fail? These tags are dropped first, before trying to store EXIF. If even after that the EXIF size is >64kb, then the image will have no metadata. But it is a rare case, and it should be much rarer now. > >> - Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view > > Is there any user-visible change (other than not having darktable-viewer as a > command)? > > Is there a way to get the slideshow from the command-line? > > Thanks, > > -- > Matthieu Moy Roman. > http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ > ____________________________________________________________________________ > darktable user mailing list > to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org > ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
