That looks like a good change, however if the value is being set to zero by a means other than the preferences dialog (which it seems to be) then my understanding from the commit message is that the referenced change won't help. It may be that a user who has a zero value and opens the config dialo

Sounds like this is a bug worth tracking. Should I open an issue, and if so, where? On 5 August 2014 19:27, David Vincent-Jones wrote: > I have seen this problem on my system also and just figured that I had > messed > up somehow. It occurred on my system when I made a fresh install ... so it >

I have seen this problem on my system also and just figured that I had messed up somehow. It occurred on my system when I made a fresh install ... so it was prior to my changing anything in the config window and showed-up during an attempt to import my files. David On Tuesday, August 05, 2014

FTR, I have seen this behavior also, where that setting somehow ends up at 0. Likewise, I had never (and obviously would never) set it to 0 on my own, unless there's some weird UI interaction that might cause that unintentionally. That said, there's definitely a bug here somewhere. --xsdg On

Hi, > Why not use the save default settings? It's not clear what the default is. For some reason this value was set to zero. I certainly never changed it to that. Could this have happened erroneously during an upgrade, or perhaps in response to a config file being erased? I highly recommend to

Hi Roman, I hadn't tried that, no. The value was set to 0. After increasing it and restarting (seemed to be necessary) I no longer see the problem! I'm not sure what a good value for this setting is. Is this system RAM, or video RAM? Thanks very much for your help. I'm very happy to have a usabl

Hi, I'm a newish user of darktable, new to the list and the community. Recently darktable's lighttable mode gets stuck in an endless loop of preparing high-res previews for images. When multiple are visible, this occurs in a cycle. If zoomed in to view a single image, that image appears blurred,
