It's not that I "don't want to try" but more that apparently even support

Mailing list? Or do you mean the bug tracker. For the mailing list, gmane has a nice interface: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.darktable.devel, and nntp support from gmane is even better. In redmine, the bug tracker, you have to be registered and logged in to do useful things such as upload of files.

I've seen that redmine page already - it was the first result I got on a
google search and the difficulty in figuring out whether anything was
actually fixed was why I posted here.

Not fixed according to the bug report.

I can't find anywhere to upload the photos to that redmine page, it doesn't
even let me post a messag. The blog post you linked to is utterly

To post in redmine, you have to be logged in. Then, click the edit button below the report. A text field is offered then to add to the discussion and you will get an upload button below (maximum file size about 40 MB).

> incomprehensible. I'm sorry but I'm just not at that level.

See my other post. As far as I can see the white balance presets are missing. I suggest you upload the following pictures to a dropbox folder and post a link to it here and in the bug report ticket:

* One raw picture of every white balance preset the camera has. Picture
  content does not matter. You could do a heavily overexposed one and
  use the smallest s-raw option you can find to save some disk space.
  Camera adjustments do not matter here. That means about 5 to 10
  pictures. If you have a white balance fine tuning on the camera, do
  this for every fine tuning step (that means some more pictures).

* One raw in full resolution and one of every s-raw mode, if your
  camera has them. But this time with a normal exposure, maybe out of
  your window or whatever. It would help if you could post these to
  rawsamples.ch as well, as Sebastian suggested.

That's it, basically, if you don't want to do noise profiles. If you still have questions, you can post them here.

I'm more than happy to help, but I'm not a programmer or a photo nerd, and I
simply don't have the time to learn it all. I just want a a program that
works with current cameras, without being condescended because I can't solve
it all by myself.

The support of new cameras is usually done very fast within the darktable project, as long as reasonable test files exist. To my experience, very often much faster than in commercial software. If you need more step by step advice, please ask, and I'll try my best.

Be aware that the devs work on darktable in their spare time and they may have holidays and real life as well. If this is not fast enough for you, darktable may be the wrong choice for you.

Best regards

Chris
