This has nothing to do with display size. Do you know why news paper has small columns? Because it is faster to read, that is, the time to go from the end of line to the start of the new is far easier if the width is not too large.
Actually, that's a bit of an urban legend. Newspapers have small columns because wider columns have more unused space, which means less space for other features and, most importantly, advertisements. Recent studies point to reading speed going up as line lengths increase, though the effect is not huge. https://www.usability.gov/get-involved/blog/2006/08/line-length-and-onscreen-reading.html That said, there may be other reasons to limit the line lengths of code, as you indicate. I have no personal stake in this matter with regards to Darktable beyond a bit of myth busting. -- Bruce Guenter <br...@untroubled.org> https://untroubled.org/ ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
