Re: [darktable-user] darktable 3.8.0 released

[Jean-Luc CECCOLI]

Hello, Well, maybe did I not understand correctly, if so please accept my apologies. However, I imported photos after dt upgraded to 3.8, and I could do this for 2 folders - one at a time.

Since v3.6, we've lost that ability and have been shoved kicking and screaming into this new paradigm. Sadly, the new paradigm is a huge failure in my workflow, not to mention being a general PITA.  That said, I'd like to request that there be an option in preferences - lighttable to choose the import methodology desired.  Options could be called "file, folder" and "add to library, copy & import".  This has a precedent under preferences - processing in which we can choose to auto-apply pixel workflow defaults, with "scene-referred", "display-referred" and "none" being the available choices.  Thanks for considering this as an option for the next release of darktable.  Willy Williams ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
