To add weight: I have previously reported problems using the histogram to change light levels and noticed the problem again today. I removed ~/.cache/darktable/mipmaps-62d87cbcad56aa2b4a21cd680776714d70e93ef6 and utilizing the histogram to change light levels again works. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
