The optimal solution, then, would be to allow those who want file-manager capabilities to get and/or implement them without having to distract the core developers from the image-editing side.
I think this would be best done through the Lua API. There are already many file-manager-type operations fully supported through Lua, and a few additions/improvements there would be more beneficial than any amount of file-manager capabilities added in the Darktable core, since it would enable people who are not so familiar with C or the innermost guts of Darktable to make more contributions, leaving the core developers free to tackle the image editing. -- August Schwerdfeger [email protected] On Fri, Jun 26, 2020 at 2:29 PM Charlie Goodwin <[email protected]> wrote: > Seeing many posts asking for adding more and more file management > capabilities into Darktable, I'd like to suggest that we do not divert > attention away from the greatest strength, image editing.
