Re: [darktable-user] Externally triggering tethered capture

2021-04-28 Thread Michael Kefeder
hi, Since darktable is actually using gphoto2 for tethered shooting you can use gphoto2 cli for your script to take an image when the LEDs are in desired state. cli usage docs here http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/ref-gphoto2-cli.html see --capture-image argument. hth mike Am Mi., 28. Apr. 2021

Hi Tom This is a known problem, some macOS stupidity keeps the compiling of OpenCL modules from succeeding in a random fashion, it is not in DT developers hands to fix that. Only workaround I know is to restart darktable until it succeeds to build all kernels. I have written a dumb shellscript to

Hi Jochen, Have you confirmed darktable is actually running GPU acceleration? e.g. looking at the logs of darktable (e.g. using arguments: -d opencl -d perf)? I ran benchmarks on my computer with a 121MB RAW file (download of a Fuji GFX100 DNG) with 17 modules active and that takes 34sec to export

Hi Florian, Long time no see ;) Besides that, exif data holds "default crop size" of 6000x4000 pixels. That seems to be applied for DNG for you. I also assume those extra pixels are there for lens correction, since it's the same on a6x00 series cameras without IBIS they also have 6048pixel wide r

dirty hack that comes to my mind is you write a small tool (e.g. python script) that removes the "done" folder from the sqlite DB of darktable until you've finished your massive import (so they wont show in DT anymore). After that you can add them again. clean hack, you add a "done"-flag to the sq

There's an off chance your dedicated GPU is device 1 and your cpu is 0. By default the config only does consider one GPU in the system = 0, you can try (make sure the scheduler is default) to force use of device 1: opencl_device_priority=1,!0/!0,!1/1,!0/1,!0 Am So., 2. Dez. 2018, 15:58 hat Volker
