Re: [darktable-dev] git master - all images are black

Please know that it's no one is forcing anyone to copy something over to MicrosoftGithub, but it doesn't take much more energy to copy paste info, and send a link to someone, rather than telling them they should use MSGithub. I like to think we are more interested in the bug being fixed rather t

Hi folks, when a reporter uses email I believe more devs in the wide world need to be prepared to communicate over it. Maybe instead of saying "you should report this [at Microsoft Github]". Say "I've copied this to [Microsoft Github]". I fully understand "collateral freedom", but I personally

This is great. I'm relatively new Darktable but felt the need to refine the copy. Reducing written word down to its core parts does take time. There's a saying, "Sorry I didn't have time to write less." :) About the choice between Hugo or Jekyll, I realize that some may like the speed of Hugo,

Thankyou Kofa for pointing me to further instructions and information. The Culling mode has some nice functions. I wish they were more intuitive but more on that in future. Also in future I might be able to help write clearer, more succinct instructions for darktable. Alas my flashing problem r

Thanks Matt, When I switch between two images I always get a flash going backwards. If the last image I was on was the image ahead then when I tap forward there is no flash and the transition is smooth. In the lighttable the thumbnails seem to load immediately at the correct size, they are jus

Thanks Matthew, Chris and others, I've dedicated more time to solving this. "Snapshots" (or what I would call the "Compare" section where a person can "Take snapshots") looks useful. I regret that it doesn't suit the use-case where a person simply needs to go through the photos in a slideshow-l

[darktable-dev] White-ish 1px border around selected photos in lighttable

2020-10-06 Thread juliank
When multiple images are selected on the lighttable, its intensely difficult to tell the difference between selected and unselected photos, even with the lighter background. A white-ish 1px border should fix this. To replicate hold Ctrl and click a bunch of different photos to select them.

I realize I'm publishing a lot of improvement proposals today, I've largely pre-written them. There's only one more after this. Large text sizes make the interface feel cluttered and confusing, and possibly unusable to the average photography enthusiast. I know some people who would freak out i

After I've worked some magic in Darktable, there's occasional touch-ups I must do in GIMP. Rather than having to save the file in a large lossless format and then open said file in GIMP which is something of a workflow-killer, I wonder whether an 'Open in GIMP' feature might be possible. Failin

Hello Dear Team behind Darktable. I am absolutely loving Darktable 3.2.1 (over 2.4). Not only in terms of the interface but the photos seem to look better too! Maybe I'm just getting better at editing with it. :) I have a couple things to report as it relates to installation. The website tries
