Re: [darktable-user] Still no GUI module order possible?

When the darktable developers call the pixel pipeline a "stack" that is an arbitrary term they have chosen. It is a techie term, for sure. But applying modules in the pipeline would be better described as a sequential series of processing steps. There is no implied "direction" other than forward

You are correct that most visual processes, especially writing, move from top to bottom. Having the stack grow from bottom to top is part of the "techie" nature of darktable. On Mon, 15 Feb 2021 16:24:51 -0500 KOVÁCS István wrote On Mon, 15 Feb 2021 at 20:37, Urs Schütz

And no one wants to take that away from you! The request was to allow a user to add a custom tab where the order of the modules is different. The request does NOT change the default view, nor the order of pipeline processing at all! On Mon, 15 Feb 2021 09:18:13 -0500 Andreas Herold wr

You are simply saying you would not find this useful, but actually problematic for you. That is not a good reason to prevent another user from adding a custom module view to their GUI that does this. On Mon, 15 Feb 2021 08:40:44 -0500 Andreas Herold wrote I’m a normal user and

This is NOT a request to change the pipeline order, as some have wrongly responded. I do not understand why the devs who have responded to this request are so adamantly against it. They have yet to actually say why this is a problem. Why does the order displayed in the GUI have to always r

The idea of providing a way for users to submit SQL queries to filter the image list in lighttable is an interesting one. Not for everyone, certainly, but useful for some. It is similar, in some aspects, to the ability to add CSS in the configuration dialog to customize the GUI. (Normally, CS

I agree. Also, a high quality SD card reader can be significantly faster (10x or more) than a cheaper one. A good one is the ProGrade DUAL-SLOT SD reader p/n PGRWSDHCXCANA but there are others. On Sat, 02 Jan 2021 12:47:46 -0500 Jean-Luc CECCOLI wrote I wonder why on earth d

Thanks for the idea, August. Unfortunately, after adding "-d all" and then finding the log file, it did not show anything relevant or useful. Only two lines in the 580KB file containing "error" or "fail" and those were failing to find luarc or darktable.css files. I doubt if they are relevant
