Hi, I'd like to give some feedback about the upcoming version 2.0.
I'm happy to see that the scroll wheel does not scroll the darkroom modules any more, a very good choice, since it was too easy to also change a setting that happened to scroll past. Please also do this in the "global preferences" dialog, where it's still possible to scroll and change settings with the wheel. Thank you for adding knobs for softproof and gamut check [1]! One small improvement would be to move these knobs next to the histogram (maybe stacked vertically, to its right? I think they relate more to that than to the film strip). In the "Lighttable > import > folder" dialog, how can I type in the path? I honestly could not figuere this out, but it should be the standard gtk3 dialog, right? I still find the default fonts way too small, and the usual solution [2] does not work any more. The scrollbars are either invisible or really hard to see (this has changed in `master` for the panes on the sides in lighttable/darkroom mode but is still the same as in `release-2.0rc1` for, e.g., the "global preferences" dialog). Also, in the same dialog box, the scroll bar covers the "+" buttons next to numerical settings. If I select text in "Lighttable > image information" and right-click, then the popup menu has black background, the usable options (e.g., "Copy") are written in white, the others are black as well. I think that some color settings are missing. It is sometimes difficult to discren selected text from unselected, e.g., in "Lighttable > image information". It's better in "Lighttable > tagging". I'm not so happy about having buttons, input flields, table headers, tabs and all that stuff look almost exactly the same way (I guess that's what's called Bauhaus look?). Or simply removing GTK's admittedly ugly dashed indicators which show that there is more to be seen with scrolling. I certainly do not agree with all the decisions GTK tries to impose on us, but there probably is some thinking going on behind their GUI design. Please do not change everything to only rectangles in four shades of gray... Some source-code questions: When testing the new version, should this be based on `release-2.0rc1`, or on `master`? Unless otherwise indicated, above statements are based on `master`. When updating my working copy from upstream, is it ok to just do `make -C build install` or do I have to run `./build` again? And is `rm -rf build` correct to get a really completely fresh build?
