It appears that Preferences > overrides darktablerc. True or false? (...) That should indeed be the case: your *local* darktablerc (see below) is read on startup, and the values there are used and shown in the Preferences dialog. Changes made through the Preferences dialog are written back to your local darktablerc (on exiting darktable(?)).
Some changes can only be applied on start-up, so those require a restart to be visible. But they are still stored internally and written back to darktablerc. But keep in mind that there are *two* versions of darktablerc: - a global one, used on first start, and containing default values. Users normally cannot write to this file. - a local one, written when you exit darktable and used on subsequent runs. So in effect, the local darktablerc overrules the global darktablerc. So the value in the *global* darktablerc can be different from what you see in the Preferences dialog... ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
