Re: [darktable-user] Darktable styles

Hi,

Security holes are always possible, e.g. the XML parser used by darktable,
just like any other code, could have a bug that caused it to crash or even
execute arbitrary code, given malformed/malicious input - from Acrobat
Reader to Android components, many programs have been hijacked that way
(e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagefright_(bug) ).

dtstyles.net is, as far as I know, safe. You can also import processing
settings from jpg files exported by darktable, or xmp sidecar files. See
'Load sidecar files' at
http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch02s03s07.html.php

[darktable-user] Darktable styles

[Niranjan Rao]

Greetings,

As a new comer to raw image development, I figured the best way to learn 
is to look at what others have done and see what I like. I found a 
tar.gz file somewhere on the web that contains 46 styles.


Few questions:

1. Personally I don't think it's possible, but want to double check. If 
I find darktable styles on some random web site and apply those styles, 
will I face any security issues? In other words is there a possibility 
of getting hacked while using imported styles. As far as I could see 
styles are XML documents and just set the parameters of the modules and 
contain no executable code.


2. I would like to apply the style and export the results and then 
compress history stack, apply next style and repeat. My initial goal is 
to find out what style I like and see how that style is built and 
experiment with style modules. Can I script this - apply and export part 
and loop around all available styles? It becomes cumbersome to repeat 
same process for all 46 styles and lot of images.



Regards,

Niranjan
