hey,
nice work, seems to run well telling by your video. i have some
stylistic remarks :)
yellow stars, really? i strongly resent colors (and strong shapes) in
a ui around pictures.. at some point it doesn't look like the
collection of your photos but more like a bubblegum vending machine.
I used to resent the darktable approach of hiding everything until the
mouse is over a thumbnail, but I have since learned to appreciate that
this help me see the images better. This is also why I want the ratings
to be a toggle-able setting, because I only sometimes do I want to see
them everywhere. But /when/ I do want to see them everywhere, I want
them to be easy to see. Nevertheless, I would be willing to compromise
on the color, if it means getting it into master :).
i know you can switch it off, but even with less obtrusive defaults i
will need a lot of convincing why it is a good idea to have it.
Because it helps me keep track of my progress. My workflow looks like this:
- import film roll
- quickly go through all images by accepting or rejecting them (stars
and reject cross)
- process and tag the highest rated images first, then the rest (if I
feel like it...)
For this process it really helps me to see how far I have come, what I
rated that image, etc. I probably don't want ALL the settings turned on
at the same time, that would really be chaos.
also, as jcsogo said in irc, i'm not sure about the buttons. maybe a
`clutter level' option in the preferences would do.
I would be fine with settings in the preferences dialog, as long as
there are shortcuts that allow me to quickly enable/disable the toggles.
I want the toggle buttons strictly from a UI perspective, I think it is
bad form to have too many things that are only accessible through a
keyboard shortcut. On the other hand, if they are accessible through the
preferences dialog then maybe that is good enough.
did you benchmark that with `darktable -d perf -d lighttable'? i would
expect the color label query to slow it down somewhat on zoomed out
views.
I have not done a proper benchmark yet, but I have not noticed any
performance changes either. I have tried disabling and enabling
everything and could not really notice a difference. I will do a test
with -d lighttable later.
I don't want to start a new discussion about performance in this thread,
but my idea for the future was to load all the details for all displayed
images in a single query and store them in a struct for later access.
This ought to improve performance - what do you think?.
