Could you explain what you mean by that? About seeing more metadata of images there has been a recent addition to the git version. Using this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts/master/official/generate_image_txt.lua lua script you can have a text overlay when zoomed into the image on lighttable. The command to generate the file is configurable. > On Dec 9, 2014 7:21 AM, "Tobias Ellinghaus" <h...@gmx.de> wrote: > > Am Dienstag, 9.
