not a problem, I know for a fact that my open-source contributions did land me my current job :P I think you need to come and discuss on irc (freenode, channel #darktable) I can only speak generalities and we are quite a bunch of devs that don't always agree on that sort of aspects... So it's best to discuss your plans before starting to implement (prototyping and studying technologies is a good idea, but don't go to far and be ready to drop what you did, that's the open source way) > Perhaps this can be a "fancier" gallery export option.

It is located in src/imageio/storage/gallery.c and seems mainly to be using .css and .js files that are located in data/js and data/style so tweaking it should be failry easy >> >> thumbnails (i.e exporting images twice) shouldn't be a problem, that's >> something we can do in DT > > > Could that be done automatically within the module itself?

I would have to look at the details but it's probably doable. maybe some rework of how outputs are processed would be needed but overall it should be doable. > > Regards, > > John P Santos > Digital Media Consultant > Green Bee Media > greenbeemedia.com > facebook.com/greenbeemedia.ca > twitter.com/greenbeemedia > > > > > On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 10:18 AM, jeremy rosen > <jeremy.ro...@enst-bretagne.fr> wrote: >> >> > >> > I do. :) Usually I just export to jpg and then I have a php script >> > which >> > I dump into the folder and it does all the magic, reads meta >> > information, >> > tags.
