perhaps you should attempt to explain what a text windows is and what "/<path>/<to>/<file>" indicates and perhaps you are too quick to take offence I have not seen any effort from you to assist the OP. I have posted my personal mail address and believe that the conversation you began should have been off-list, and was very offensive. but you do not need to respond and I don't expect it. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
