Re: [darktable-user] advice asked
I'm doing something similar to track how my newly-planted California natives are growing. I'm taking the photos one month apart. To keep the photos similar I'm fixing the ISO and f-stop and taking them 30 minutes before sunset to reduce shadows and keep the light somewhat constant. That seems to be working pretty well. That strategy might be helpful in your case. My backend processing isn't quite as automated as yours. As each monthly photo comes in, I perform some normal processing on it and give it unique tags that I can later use to export for importing into iMovie and appending to my time-lapse movie.

Re: [darktable-user] Replies not readable ? I don't think so.
I find excising content inevitably removes the context that I rely on. I had been an inline or bottom poster since the early 80s. I've recently (well, the last 10 or 20 years :-) decided that top-posting and retaining the entire thread below without all of the >>>>> makes it easier to read email and to find context. The truth is, is that if the reply isn't above the fold, I'm not going to read it, and I'm probably not the only one. But we digress.

Re: [darktable-user] Top or bottom posting
I didn't read your message because it was below the fold :-). I was an inline/bottom poster for decades, but have discovered that top posting is better. You see the reply right away, and you have the entire thread for reference. I wasn't kidding, I no longer bother to scroll to see replies. With bottom or inline posting, folks are encouraged to throw away text. The lost context can be maddening.

Re: [darktable-user] Activating the pipeline
I've added my presets to a style that I call "I'm feeling lucky" in memory of Picasa. I select the imported images and apply this style along with a "lens correction" style. I might follow Patrick's suggestion and auto-apply the former on import. As an aside, I wasn't able to get the auto-apply lens correction preset to work properly. It always used the aperture that was in play when the present was defined, rather than the aperture of the current photo. Or something like that.

Re: [darktable-user] Still no GUI module order possible?
How about a preference to sort the module lists by a) alphabetical b) pixel pipe? I just wish the lists were alphabetical so that they would appear in well-known places and be easier to find. I would say that a majority of the users love, love, love the developers and the software, but don't care a hoot about the pixel pipe order and wished it was done under the hood and not exposed in the UI (unless you asked for it in the preferences).
