Re: [darktable-user] Keeping DT in sync between multiple computers

[Willy Williams]

I use FreeFileSync (https://freefilesync.org/) to keep files on three 
laptops (2- Win 10; 1 - Ubuntu Linux) in sync.  When I open DT, I get a 
window that recognizes the updated xmp files (if any) and asks whether I 
want to overwrite older xmp files, just as you noted. The difference is 
that I usually let DT update.  I might consider using FreeFileSync 
update the db, but I'm not willing to mix Windows and Linux machines' db 
files until I know more about their compatibility and the chance of 
inducing major mal-boo-boos.

Hi!

I also use darktable only for image processing and have the same setting as
Robert; database=:memory: This setting will always automatically read the
.xmp files as you are always starting with a fresh database.

IF, IF, IF you NEVER run dt at the same time on different machines, one
could share the db placing it on networked storage.  BUT NEVER RUN DT ON
TWO MACHINES AT THE SAME TIME.

There are two points you should be careful of:
- no concurrent use of the database (DT doesn't lock its access to it)
- database format can change, so all machines should run exactly the
same versions of DT (or at least the same major versions)

On practice, probably the best idea is to treat one installation as
the master and use memory database on the others, or use no database
at all if it brings you no added benefit.

Guillermo

you could use DT on one or the other (one at a time) and the changes

I do the same thing, except that I have

database=:memory:

in my ~/.config/darktable/darktablerc.

I use darktable strictly for image processing.  I use kphotoalbum to
manage my photos, and stick the .xmp files in the tree alongside the
photos.

I Love the game!

It makes me smile :-)

I noticed it run only once and my daughter would Love to play it (so I

It did get me the first time I admit. But guess what - I was VERY FAST

Once one has heard that there are keyboard shortcuts to get rid of the
April 1 gag, it is fine. Perhaps it would be a good idea to include
information to that effect with the black screen.

I have very mixed feelings here; Darktable is an amazing program and the
devs are gods as far as I'm concerned. But the game locking users out of
productivity when they need is stops being funny.

As for me, I'm ok now that I know how to get out of it, but new users? They
may give up and never come back. I do not believe the game is a good idea.

[darktable-user] Tethering image size

[darktable]

DT 2.6.2 appimage

I use a 15" Dell laptop. It's a 1366x768. When I use the tethering
mode, the panels (top & bottom) are showing up and taking a lot of
screen space. 

Is there a way of making the image bigger by hiding the top and
bottom panels? 

I tried clicking on the arrows/triangles, nothing happened in the
tethering mode (they work properly on lighttable and darkroom)

A number of users who had not seen this 'joke' before were very concerned that 
dt's installation files had been compromised malevolently.

We have always been tolerant of Stallman's rather juvenile sense of humour in 
view of his autism. But surely developers should not still tolerate silly 
adolescent pranks in free software that they hope will be used by the general 
public.

I, for one, like the touch of fun of the Easter Egg... I think sometime 
I am taking myself too seriously, and this is a touch of fun. Maybe you 
can add a text explaining the thing after the user has pressed a handful 
of keys or waited a bit... but I still like it.


I am not a developer so I understand my opinion is worth just 
$$\epsilon\to 0$$...


By the way, I know there is a secret sequence that will fire the games 
if you want --- I just can't find it anymore. Can anybody help? It's a 
nice joke to show to friends...

 As far as the devs are concerned, it indeed seems there is/are one or two 
that insist on having it. 

And easter eggs are one thing, this is not an easter egg, as it's not a 
*hidden* feature. 

Personally, I found it annoying enough to mark April, 1st with "don't use DT".

This is the important point. At least users should have a way to switch
it off or some other way be warned what will happen the first time
they open DT every April 1.

I suppose you can download a game like this somewhere... It has nothing
to do in dt and eventually if run once but every years, not way!

Anyway there is a pref, by default the game is run so your daughter
will still enjoy this. As a photographer I don't way this to be run
without me asking for it.

Indeed, I a PR was proposed and I did accept it. But one dev insist on

I have just push a commit which propose a preference to disable once

At least users will have a choice about this!
