It went away and didn't come back so it's not annoying enough to complain about. darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org

I'll be 'that' guy and say that my print shop costs less per page than any printer I've owned (inkjet), and the quality is great. It took a couple of tries to find the right company but since I found one I was happy with it's been lovely. Now I just have a B&W laser printer at home. I know it's not the answer you were after but I just thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone hadn't really considered it before. darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org

As I mention in the first episode, I don't claim to be an expert in dt. Just a keen user. For anyone who may be interested, the playlist is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpRPvm04Uj0&list=PLlYWvzmJQTrRq7JrYdD7k3-8-v-uHnhK_ If anyone notices a glaring error in anything I've said in a published video, please let me know, and I'll be more than happy to offer a correction in a later video, should that be necessary. Cheers, Bruce Williams This is great. I have been using darktable for a while now but this has made me realise it's about time I RTFM... Looking forward to the next one! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Not quite what you are asking for but it could help: in preferences -> GUI options you can set 'expand a single darkroom module at a time' to off. That way all your sliders in favourites will show up at the same time. Thanks Bruce for putting it in the video! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I think of the misbehavior of ALT + 1, and the import options problem. Kindly, Anders Yeah I don't know if it's a 'bug' or not but I do feel like perhaps the zoom should home in on the selected photo rather than the one that happens to be on the top left. If no photo is selected it could fall back to the current behaviour. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I think this may be the real answer to the problem. Anything on top of DT's current system would inadvertently add even more complexity to the UI, without a massive overhaul. And for what gain? To achieve something doable in other programs? I have also had to process batches of a few hundred photos and I can't say I felt the current system of favourite modules and presets has hindered me too much. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

My second point is that perhaps there is also simplicity in the way darktable currently does things, and from some users' perspectives, having a 'simple slider' function that links to other modules might actually complicate the UI. Moreover, if a bunch of new users are exposed to the 'simple slider', I wonder if it might make it more complicated for some and easier for others? (In that having two ways to modify an option might be confusing, and there is a real chance of messing up the nice system we already have). Jason You have verbalised my exact thoughts on this. Could not agree more. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: [darktable-user] Thanks for the manual. Thanks for the videos, but...
On 18-10-23 19:25:59, dt-l...@stefan-klinger.de wrote: tl;dr: Videos are hard to make, antiquate fast, and are hard to search. I agree with this. Videos are an easy way in, but having the patience to read a manual pays off big time in the long run. In the age of thousands of tutorial videos, RTFM has never been more relevant. I do like Bruce's videos though! I generally use them as a way in to get ideas with what to do with images. I find there are three steps: - Knowing where stuff is - Knowing what it does - Knowing when to use it The last one requires a bit more than just a manual for me. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
