I agree that today a lot of preinstalled styles in Darktable would clutter the program, because Darktable also lack the option to group styles in a hierarchical view. So it's better to keep them on a website then. :) But right now more than 20 styles clutters the interface.

But I still think that a preview-pick button on the "style" menu would help a lot if you have a large number of styles installed and want to fast visually find the right one for the image you are working on. I don't see why this will clutter Darktable if it's done this way:

a) Darktable have grouped styles in categories in a hierarchical view (instead of todays simple list). b) When you press the preview-pick button the selected image is show as a grid with small images (with style names) for every installed style grouped by categories. Then you can pick the style and you are back to the images. Of course if you don't want that clutter you don't have to press the button. :) If more than one picture is selected the preview-pick uses the first selected image for preview, and the style is applied to all the selected images.

Oh right, I thought you were referring to Simon's suggestion and not Halgeir's one. Yes I agree with you that Simon's suggestion sounds good.

    Simon's suggestion of a web site holding community styles for
     import sounds good and unobtrusive to me -- I'm much less
    convinced by the grid view style of working but each to their own.

    On the other hand, as we are talking preferences, I would much
    prefer not to have my copy of darktable cluttered up with such a
    collection of styles.

    It won't be if you don't install a lot of styles.

    At this moment I can't actually see me wanting to import styles at
    all, but if I did Simon's proposed implementation with a gallery
    where styles can be viewed and subsequently imported seems ideal.

    Actually I think you misunderstood his suggestions. He had 2
    suggestions:

    1. Have a kind of a grid view to preview thumbnails of what your
    images would look like if you applied each style that *you have
    installed in DT*.

    2. Have a database of user created styles where they can upload
    their own styles with suitable names, so others can import those
    styles into DT by downloading them

    His suggestion was not to have the database of all the styles in
    your DT. That would indeed make the program extremely cluttered.

    A good solution, but i would prefer to have in the program since I
    ofte like to preview styles on one of my own images directly. But
    I'm not in hurry to get this function. :)
