Even better explained in the print manual in section 3.3.10.4 - "The layout manager allow you to create, remove, rename and duplicate presets.  Inside each presets (except built-in ones which are read-only) you can create, remove or move groups, define its icon and name, and set which module should appear under which
group."

    These follow the layouts of the previous two groups, but include
    an additional /favourites/ group where users made use of this
    feature in prior versions of darktable. Now that users may create
    their own custom groups, there is no longer a need for an explicit
    “favourites” group.

    favourite modules
        This group was previously used by users to make it easier to
        find frequently-used modules, and is available under the
        “previous config” presets. New users can, of course, still
        create their own custom group and name it “favourites” if they
        so desire.

HI all,
    Darktable is a fantastic program thanks to the incredible effort of the developers. Hats off to the dedicated developers for DT 3.4.0. It is a very sophisticated program that requires time to learn. But it is really worth learning. There are some great video resources for those who learn by watching and there is the user manual which is a must read for each module when you first start using a new module. I don't believe the developers should or could make Darktable beginner friendly without compromising what makes Darktable great. Possibly the basic adjustment module could have a few more features added to it like denoise, sharpening, local contrast which would just be duplicating commonly used features from other modules and placing them in one place. That would make it easier for the beginner and the person who only wants simple edits.

    The requested beginners workflow is already described:

    <https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/overview/workflow/>
    But if a beginner even doesn’t spend time to read the first
    section of the manual, why deveolpers should spend time to
    provide a gui they never would use for their edits.
    Darktable developers „eats their own dogfood“ so the ui is to
    satisfy their demands.

    And of course: don’t mix up ‚beginners‘ with used-to-lightroom-guys

    Dear developers:

    thank you very much for this great piece of software!

    It offers chances, I'd never expected before to take advantage
    of raw files. I'm using D500 & D850, Ubuntu 18.04, 64 bit, 32 GB
    RAM.

    dt seems to require quite a bit studies to find out the
    appropriate steps to image processing. As we can see, there are
    people searching for a beginners-type GUI.

    For me some type of such "beginners workflow" helped a lot;
    however, there should be a physical / arithmetical backup for
    such workflows.

    Overall, there might be some type of knowledge-system in the
    background to analyse a selected pic. From there he system could
    offer a questionnaire to concrete the targets and, at last,
    suggest some reasonable steps to improve a pic.

    --

    I really would like support dt with some contributions; however,
    I can not program software.

    --

    One small question I have: dt is completely non-destructive. If
    a work on a pic, I only see the _changed_ version, not the
    original version.

    How can I see both versions a the time to gain an overview?

    --

    Is there a way to organise dt styles (from <https://dtstyle.net/
    <https://dtstyle.net/>>)?

    --

    Can one modify the GUI?

    Thank you again-
