So... I read the manual (with a big delay) and it is clear that the dual function of "1" is by design....

https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch02s02s04.html.php

Would you guys consider an option in the future that would allow 1 to only add one star but not remove it? If it is not too big of a request?

I can see that many would appreciate the behavior as it is now. It would be nice to have such an option however....then users can just change the option to fit their needs.

If nobody ever requested this and you don't think it is a good idea - then it is ok. I will simply change my workflow. You have done a marvelous job with the software already.

It is possible but rarely I actually use the status of zero as a valid one... (pictures that I want to keep but not print or put in gallery etc).

Do what I did. Go into the options and set the default star rating on import to zero. :)
Not sure if that helps?

    Hi Guys,

    By default DT imports with with 1 star (and this works well for
    me). The hot keys are - 2 (equals 2 stars) 3 (equals 3 stars) etc.

    For some reason - if the picture is rated with only 1 star - when
    I click 1 (typically by accident) it removes all stars. But this
    only affects the ratings with 1 star. If the picture is rated 2
    stars hitting 2 continuously does not make the stars disappear.
    Also - hitting 1 on 2 star picture correctly sets it to 1 star.
    So hitting 1 on a 1 star picture acts exactly as hitting 0

    Is this by design? I often hit 1 by accident when I am aiming
    either F1 or 2. Of course the picture is not gone but my view is
    typically >=1. Since I typically work in a sticky zoom when
    sorting pictures it is somewhat annoying. Also - the hot key in
    light table are the same in dark room. Then I would normally use
    Alt+1 etc to change the zoom. Again - if there is a mistake - I
    have to hunt for the picture.

    I would very much like to change the behavior - if I hit 1 to
    just set the rating to 1 star - not to 0 stars. Both in light
    table and dark room. Is it possible somehow? I did try to use
    another key combination but it only affects light table (not dark
    room). But the real issue boils down to hitting 1 can set the
    picture to 0 stars.

    Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit DT 2.0.6
