Hello,

Thank you for the hint. This trick satisfies part of the need.
And even without the focus plugin, the mouse wheel trick is useful on 
its own!
It's a little unexpected to have to keep Ctrl-z pressed but that's no 
big deal.

It's interesting that the focus hints are there even when the picture 
itself is displayed blurry and not yet in a sufficient resolution.  So 
the user can quickly switch to another, not needing to wait for fine 
view! That's nice!

Usability: When finding a good photograph one should not release Ctrl-z 
(it would revert back to the start of search), but rather double-click 
on the picture to open it in editing mode. Then release Ctrl-z. 
Suggestion: perhaps when releasing Ctrl-z move the selection to the 
picture that was being shown latest (instead of reverting to before 
Ctrl-z). Am I clear ?


There's a behavior that may be useful to bring attention to.

Try the sequence "press Ctrl-z, double click on picture, release Ctrl-z, 
click on lighttable". Now you still have picture full screen with focus 
display enabled (which I would prefer anyway) and still can continue to 
browse back and forth without pressing Ctrl-z again.  Actually pressing 
then releasing Ctrl-z would be useful to go back to normal lighttable.

Another side note : the sequence "press Ctrl-z, double click, release 
Ctrl-z, click on lighttable, click on the small triangles on the sides" 
allows to have a "normal" lighttable display with all side panels 
(including filename of picture and other shooting parameters) but still 
keep the image with focus display and move between pictures. This is 
nice and close to what I expected. (Operations on right panel (e.g. 
export) work and operate on what was selected before doing all this.)

Having the red and blue rounded rectangles on the thumbnails themselves 
would be even better.

Hope explaining this behavior may help users and developers to figure 
out what's best to do with darktable and how.

Congratulations again for this great piece of software!

Regards,
