I tend to use an iMac for photoediting, as the screens on my Linux machines aren’t as good. But I encounter a persistent problem on the iMac: when using a mouse with a physical scroll wheel, changing a mask’s feather size with ‘shift + scroll’ does not work correctly: movement of the scroll wheel only increases the size of the feather, regardless of the direction in which the scroll wheel is rotated. It therefore isn't possible to decrease the size of the feather.
I’ve tried several different mice (by various manufacturers), and all have the same issue. The only devices on which ‘shift + scroll’ works correctly are (a) the scroll wheel on my Wacom Intuos Pro L tablet; and (b) the scroll function on an Apple Magic Mouse (which does not have a physical wheel). The mouse wheels of various devices do work correctly in other Mac software, and with other aspects of the darktable GUI — just not with darktable’s ‘shift + scroll’ . The problem seems specific to ‘shift + scroll’ for changing feather size. I'm using darktable 2.4.4 and MacOS 10.13.6 on a 2017 iMac Retina 4K. The same mouse devices work correctly to resize a mask feather in darktable 2.4.4 running on Debian Stretch on my Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop. Not sure how to report this to the Maintainer of darktable for Mac — advice welcome. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
