Hi all, I just decided to try darktable on a Mac Book Pro with retina display (I am exploring the free alternatives to the rather expensive Adobe Lightroom).
As for many other applications on the Retina displays there are some issues due to the pixel scaling. Most of the interface looks great, but some elements show the "pixelated" effect due to pixel scaling. Unfortunately this affects also the main canvas where the photo are displayed and this renders the entire software essentially unusable for me. After installing the latest release (1.4.2), I also pulled out the git repo and build dark table from source on my machine (darktable 1.5+1718~gf7b7ed6). All dependencies have been installed through homebrew. This version shows up as XQuartz window and entering X11 fullscreen in high resolution, the result is acceptable. Of course no pixelation, font size is somewhat small but still readable: overall better than in the released version (if there's a trade-off I'd rather favour image quality over menu appearance). Issues with this are that I have to enter X11 fullscreen (XQuartz issue), and most important I get a segfault 11 the second time I start dark table (after rebooting it starts again). So here my questions: - Is there some advance in the development in order to solve the problems with HiDPI displays? - How do I properly build darktable from source on os x? - Are there actually any developers testing/developing darktable on the rMBP? - By chance, does anybody know if I can get full resolution in XQuartz also in rootless mode? Thanks and best regards!
