Re: [darktable-dev] Re: XML parser → Huge sidecar files

Actually I didn't get why masks are getting copied when I ask only particular module settings. But anyway I hope it will change soon, opening every file (especially when they are so slow) is just so time consuming. It should be 'all at once' action :) On Tue, 2018-04-17 at 18:27 +0200, Ulrich

Re: [darktable-dev] Re: XML parser → Huge sidecar files

You don't need to do this manually. Just go into the mask manager (left hand panel in the darkroom view), press the right mouse button. On the menu that appears you select "cleanup unused shapes". In your case the huge number of invisible shapes comes from the spot removal tool. The root

Re: [darktable-dev] Re: XML parser → Huge sidecar files

Well, I was able to edit them with sed script to remove all masks, but parsing XML to find used/unused masks is beyond my skills (I'm not familiar with XMP standards). I believe future DT releases should sort this out in some way. At least for this issue is very critical, it slows down

Re: [darktable-dev] Re: XML parser → Huge sidecar files

Hello, I can confirm this for the latest version in the darktable-2.4.x branch (commit edf1168371be288f071986d93a47fb3e082573de). The sidecar files seem to contain an awful lot of masks, but I can't seem to see which module even uses them? cheers, Simon On 15.04.2018 20:28, Timur Irikovich
