The problem here, of course, is that darktable consumes files from cameras - and we see new models enter the market all the time. Right now, distro-provided builds are way behind (e.g. Mint 14 comes with darktable 1.0.5) - and I wonder if there is anyone deliberately using something older than latest stable release. A. PS. In fact, for a better user experience out of the box darktable should also for example use a cooked version of lensfun with the latest lens database. I blame the lensfun devs who decided to package the binaries and the db as a single entity. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
