no. you can always run --library another.db if you need to.
Do you have some page where you have a description for what is stored in
the library.db file?
2. I don't seem to like the idea of placing the xmp files next to the
original image.
you can switch off writing of those files completely. i highly
discourage you do so.
RawStudio here does it better, by placing them in a .rawstudio
folder. Do you
plan to implement this feature, too?
no, why?
I don't want to switch them off, just I don't want to see them when I
browse files on the file-system.
3. A bug report: I've deleted several images on disk after I've loaded
them in DT
and now I'm getting the skull icon.
not a bug.
How can I get rid of it?
select them and remove them from the database (right panel `selected
image[s]') or delete your db. all information is in the db, xmp are
backup. so as long as you don't delete both you should still have your
edits.
Would you like to add a command that does something like "delete all
skulled images"?
true, that's an old feature request, but ctrl+mousewheel to zoom out
and then scrolling works well enough so it never got implemented so far.
Do you have a ticket/issue number, where I can vote for it?
5. The new focus detection feature is good, but I suppose
focus-peaking like
preview would be better. I don't think the stylized rectangles are
too useful.
care to elaborate on this? i didn't parse it. `focus-peaking like'?
Some newer mirror-less cameras have this focusing mode
Here is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWHDEOLREGk
If you don't have time to work on 1 and 2, then would you accept
patches?
probably no, these are sensitive areas wrt data safety, so it needs
careful reviewing, and i don't see the benefit.
This is unfortunate, but understandable.
the wiki that you have a plan to fixing my complaints about it.
3. Do you plan to add "free panning"
? you mean zoom out more than zoom-to-fit? try ctrl-mousewheel or the
dropdown in the navigation view.
or "panning passed the border" feature?
It is pretty annoying to edit mask curves without it.
Gimp has this feature, so I'll try to use it as an example:
1. Load an image in gimp
2. Zoom to 400%
3. Use the middle mouse button an pan the image so you can see the borders
In gimp you can see empty space next to the borders/edges of the image.
In DT you can't - the panning stops when the border of the image reaches the
border of the view-port/control. This is very limiting when I'm editing
a mask's
that has control points outside of the image.
BTW: I've found the ctrl-mouse-wheel zoom-out, but this is just a
workaround, not a fix for
the problem.
4. Do you plan to add the possibility to enter numerical values
with the
keyboard. I know you like to use fancy UI, but this
right click, type. we have a blinking cursor for this now.
Oh, another of those hidden features. Probably displaying the original
number next to the cursor
will make it less hidden.
5. The range for exposure is quite useless - from -18 to 18, I think
that a range
from -3 to 3 will be a lot more useful.
you're no big fan of hdr images? i need the range as it is.
Hm, probably I don't see a use case for this, but most of the times when
I need to change the
exposure I want to do it with 1/3, 1/5 or 1 stop and when the slider's
range is 36 stops this is
impossible with the slider, I have to get in two advanced editing mode.
Care to post a work-flow tutorial for your case where you need to change
the exposure of an
image with 18 stops?
6. There is no scroll in the filmstrip at the bottom and so navigating
hundreds
of images is not easy.
7. Changing an image from the filmstrip requires a double click,
but I'm
trying
to change them by single click and I'm always surprised that a
double
click
is required.
well, we get that a lot (people being surprised by random things in
one or the other contradicting way).
Do you plan to minimize this or this will state the way it is.
I guess I can easily fix this double-click problem and provide a patch
which allows the user to
change the default if he/she doesn't like it. Would this be acceptable?
Best regards,
Teodor
