When the darktable developers call the pixel pipeline a "stack" that is an arbitrary term they have chosen. It is a techie term, for sure. But applying modules in the pipeline would be better described as a sequential series of processing steps. There is no implied "direction" other than forward. Now debating whether "stack" is a techie term is fruitless here, because it is beside the point. So I am not going to address it further.
I have not been asking for this GUI feature. So, to say I'm insisting the developers to do something I want, but they do not think appropriate, is erroneous. I only entered this discussion because I kept hearing people respond to the request by saying, essentially "We just cannot re-order the modules in the GUI because the modules HAVE to be processed in the correct order!" That was the most prevalent response, even though it WAS NOT WHAT WAS BEING REQUESTED. So, I asked that a good reason be given why, in the favorites tab, the module order could not be customized by the user. Not to change the order of processing of those modules, but to merely make it more comfortable for the user to see them in the order the user is used to editing. In the most recent few responses I got my answer. First, it would be confusing to users (even though the user would have to had manually set this up themselves). Second, it would make it harder to implement other features that are under consideration, such as multiple module instances. So, as I already indicated in this conversation, I have my answer. ---- On Mon, 15 Feb 2021 18:16:33 -0500 Patrick Shanahan <p...@opensuse.org> wrote ---- not "techie" but as expected. a stack grows from botton to top. you are making definitions to but darktable in a different light. it is what it is and you are perfectly able to program it into what you wish, but you must do so. it appears you want others to make changes they do not think appropriate, necessary or worth effort to accomodate you. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to mailto:darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
