Re: [darktable-dev] Star rating symbols on Windows

2021-01-11 Thread DougC
Hello, Nicolas!



Thanks for responding. I have added issue #7804 to github. It includes 
screenshots that illustrate the issue well, I think.



Perhaps the solution is to change the theme I am using. I will look into that.

Hi,

So it seems you didn't see my answer. So I post it here again and
  please put screenshots of what you describe (and instead of using
  that mailing list, please post an issue in github with precise
  behavior you don't like and don't ignore that users could like and
  see actual behavior ok, even if you don't like it, in the way of
  describing the issue).

My answer was made the 6th:

"Hello (better to begin a mail with something like that),

What you describe is strange and not what is set (that's my
  work), so please could you post a screenshot?

Size is reduced only when hovering stars to show by the movement
  which ones you will select but when the cursor is not hover, stars
  are exactly same size and are empty if not rated and fully grey
  when rated. It's clear and normal. So if you have small one when
  the cursor is not hover, it's really strange and you're the first
  to post that. And stars are like they are since at least darktable
  3.0. I have made only minor changes (but not on size) for 3.2.1
  and nothing for 3.4.

Most of the things in the UI is made with CSS, but your issue is
  not the normal behavior.

Best regards

Nicolas Auffray (Nilvus)"

On what you precise, I understand that the border effect that
annoy you. You precise it well Sébastien. Thanks for that. Why
not change that but so, only a github issue will help to follow
and propose a better way. So please post the issue in Github.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I have not received any other reply about this, so it is 
good to see that my post was seen.



I think you are correct about the stars and the outline shading. I wish they 
were simpler graphics with no outlines at all - just grey and black.



Anyway, I sure hope this can be made to be easily customizable.

Hi there,

Pretty sure I saw some replies on this one and somehow unable to get my hands 
on it just now but anyway, I’m replying as I’m feel the same way about the star 
rating. I don’t think there different sizes though but it’s just a matter of 
colours and background. When these colours are the same or close, the filled 
star will appear only because it’s filled differently as the background, and 
the border will be invisible, hence it looks smaller compared to the unrated 
star with a border a different colour.



In the lighttable that’s fine, but as you hover an image, this behaviour kicks 
in. The only other case I’ve noticed it is in the darkroom in the bottom ribbon 
with thumbnails. In this case you don’t need to hover. When you do though you 
have the same feeling of rated being smaller although you see the border being 
white against a grey background. It’s just not enough contrast.



I’m sure this can be tweaked further for a more pleasing result. 



Maybe this can even be done from the custom css rules from the preference menu 
? 



Thanks

Is there any way to replace the rated symbols with alternatives by 
reconfiguring the application in any way at runtime, as opposed to rebuilding 
the app from source? For example, using CSS? I don't mind doing some work to 
accomplish but I find the description of building from source for Windows to be 
daunting.

If you connect a card reader or a camera you can import from device ... 

see attached - I already showed this three days ago ... 
 




I do not see that choice after I connect a USB SD card reader. However, if I 
use the folder choice, I can then browse to the card reader using the open 
dialog.

I'm using DT 3.4 with Windows 10.

Re: [darktable-dev] different meanings of "feather" in darktable

2021-01-05 Thread DougC
"Feathering amount" might be better than "feather size".

"Feather size" is still awkward. It could be changed to "feathering" as well.
