I'd be happy if I had to click somewhere before it accepts input. I.e., focus-does-NOT-follow-mouse. Lighttable, click on one image. If you press a number, the image gets rated, *unless* you have moved the pointer to another image, which will be rated instead, *unless* you have moved the pointer to, say, the collection pane, in which case the selected image gets rated. This is convoluted. Just rate the selected image and nothing else. > It looks like darktable UI implements some sort of focus-follows-pointer > behavior, which is uncommon these days.

I do like it at the granularity of windows (using “sloppy focus”, i.e., leaving a window does not take away focus, only entering another one moves focus there), but that approach fails me at the granularity of individual, tiny widgets. > > Honestly I'd prefer it to be a little bit more traditional. > > Looks like "focus follows mouse" is so traditional and forgotten that "new" > users think it's something new? With more traditional I meant less trigger happy at tossing previous work. E.g., I fail to get used to DT always saving the XMP file. I prefer to explicitly save when I'm satisfied with my work, and maybe chose a different file name then. -- http://stefan-klinger.de o/X Send plain text messages only, not exceeding 32kB. /\/ \ ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
