The reordering should then be obvious from the pipeline list (Column 1). How is it that the tone-equalizer always sits ahead of the filmic-rgb? That makes (to me) no sense at all.

Further: if the pipeline automatically reorders my input correctly, then my misuse of order should be automatically corrected which would be optimal as I view the situation.

Hi,

image-processing modules *are not moved *up and down *in the GUI* but *in the pixel pipe, *so that changes the actual order of application of the corresponding filters. You are on for a lot of trouble if you handle that as a workspace widgets reordering feature.

Reordering the (non image-processing) modules as a workspace management might raise 2 concerns :

  * a need for a global workspace/widgets layout editor (Qt app do
    that a lot, GTK is not super keen),
  * a possible confusion among users, because left panel reordering
    will mean workspace reordering, but in right panel, it will mean
    pipe reordering. 2 different behaviours for the seemingly
    identical graphical widgets in the same app is not a good UX design.

Cheers,

Aurélien.

Hi guys, after a few months here is the usability nerd again :)

I wondered if there was any reason (other than historical I mean) for the ordering of the left panel modules in the darkroom.

I can see good reasons to put the snapshot and history modules at the top of the panel, however I'm a bit puzzled to see the mask manager at the bottom and the duplicate manager at a higher position.

Different people have different workflows and want to organize their workspace differently according to it.

Wouldn't it be great if the left panel modules could be moved up and down like we can do in the right panel now?

I mean, I usually use the mask manager way more often then the duplicate manager (which I basically don't use as there's Ctrl+D to do the job).

It's been a while since I haven't been into the DT code base but I shall have a look to do that.

Cheers and keep up the good work 👍

Florian
