Hi, I'm in the process of writing an article about dt 2.2 (https://linuxfr.org/redaction/news/darktable-2-2-0), and I have a few questions about the release notes:
----- Original Message ----- > - In Highlight reconstruction module, the mode LCh reconstruction was > completely rewritten, and is no longer useless! What does this rewrite brings? My experience is that the "reconstruct color" is too buggy to be usable in many cases, but I have good experience with LCh reconstruction, so I wouldn't have called it "useless" before the rewrite. > - Support running on platforms other than x86 (64bit little-endian, currently > ARM64 only) (https://www.darktable.org/2016/04/running-on-non-x86-platforms/) Are there plans particular use-case in mind in the roadmap? I suppose running on a Raspberry Pi is fun for geeks, but not very helpful in practice given the limited RAM and processing power of the device. Can user start dreaming about an Android version for example? > - darktable is now happy to use smaller stack sizes (no less than 256Kb). > That should allow using musl libc Same question here: are there concrete benefits for users? Just wondering (and looking for something to write in the article), but in any case, it's cool to see dt more portable. > - Nicer web gallery exporter -- now touch friendly! Is there a public demo that I could link to anywhere? > - Filter-out some useless EXIF tags when exporting, helps keep EXIF size > under > ~64Kb What happens if one crosses this limit? Would the export fail? Or just drop some EXIF data arbitrarily? > - Drop darktable-viewer tool in favor of slideshow view Is there any user-visible change (other than not having darktable-viewer as a command)? Is there a way to get the slideshow from the command-line?
