- When a module is selected through the stack, parameter changes in that
module don't delete the newer stack entries but instead only modify that
history stack entry. Ie a user has to explicitly compress the stack if he
wants later changes gone
I think this makes things unnecessarily complex, since there are different
behaviours activated at the same time for a single module.
- For the sorting of modules discussed elsewhere, how about a text-box
above the modules serving as a filter with search-as-you-type. One could
then start typing the first characters of a module and get to it real
quickly. I guess people who edit many photos and want a fast workflow
remember the names of the modules they want to get to ;)
I doubt a text box will be good if you're using about 10 modules for
processing, say, 50 images. You'll end up having to click in the text box
and type something for 500 times, and if it comes down to that, I would
rather use the current order of modules.
