4096 is the next power of two above my screen width of 2880. It's not idiotic in the context of "maximum width of image drawing area"; I expect I'm not the only person to use an arbitrarily larger size. A better way would be to have darktable query the primary monitor resolution. Describing the option as "rendered image width" (or similar) implies there is a cost and would be useful, no? -- Daniel J Blueman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
