That sounds like you want the possibility to sort but then darktable shall reorder as it thinks it is best? What is the purpose of the feature then? No, the default pipeline order can be changed and darktable will process the image in the order as commanded by the users UI ordering. This is not a I want the UI to look pretty feature. It changes the pipeline, so the order of operations. This is not a feature useful for everyone. > Could we use the same the same method the image processing modules use for "move up" and "move down" vs. the shft+ctl+drag and drop? Or a right click context menu? If you are following Aureliens reply you see that its not the question of the key combination. He argues that even if it was possible from the UI library that is used it first is a question of sensibility: Mixing 2 different concepts with the same input opens up usability issues because the user expects from the same operation the same behavior. So imagine changing UI component on the left side of the window changes the UI appearance and changing the UI components on the right (obviously changes the UI appearance and) changes the processing, so does have an effect on the final image... wouldn't it be very bad if the same key combination is used for those 2 very different operations? Many users are getting wrong what the module reodering really does, as you can see by reading this thread. > I have some other suggestions to get the user informed about the potential signal processing disaster when ordering the pixel pipe modules badly relatively to the color space. I would be very interested to read your suggestion. Kind regards David Am Mi., 22.
