Unfortunately it did not work, I tried a simple pattern like following 
with and without rectangular brackets. I have photos on both dates. If I 
remove ";" onwords or entry before it, corresponding dates do show up.

What am I doing wrong?

[darktable-user] Watermark - text does not appear on image

2022-04-21 Thread Alex Delaforce
Hi,
Running latest available non-dev release on linux (EndeavourOS - arch base)
- 3.8.1

When I add a simple text watermark, the text disappears from the darktable
image as soon as I change it from the standard text to my text. I have
tried changing the colour, the scale and moving the x and y sliders but
cannot see the simple text watermark.

The text that's been added sometimes reappears when the software is closed
and reopened.
Just now I  added text to one image - text not visible
Closed and reopened dt - text visible in dt view
Changed to a different image and added text watermark - the watermark from
the first image not visible.

Rendered jpegs of the two images above do not show a text watermark.
If I now go back to dt, one of the image previews in lighttable grid view
shows a watermark the other doesn't - the one that shows doesn't show the
watermark in darkroom view. The one that doesn't show the added watermark
in lighttable view does show in darkroom view.

I had a similar issue in a previous version - I think it was 3.6.x but I
can't remember if this was rectified during the dot-point updates for the
version.

Does anyone have a similar issue or any suggestions - could it be my linux
distro (arch in the form of EndeavourOS)?

Cheers
Alex

unlikely to happen w/o someone at least taking the initiative to file a
feature request.

Re: [darktable-user] Color Picker Module

2022-04-21 Thread Alex Delaforce
I had a similar query a couple of months ago that I put on the lists. So I
second this request.

My point was that the color picker prevents some functions in the modules
but unless you know this you can spend time clicking around wondering why a
function doesn't work. Either have the module running in the background as
suggested by David or have some indication that makes it obvious that the
color picker is active when a blocked function is selected - maybe a popup
next to the mouse (though I think this is an atypical behaviour).

Thanks as always to the devs

[darktable-user] Color Picker Module

2022-04-21 Thread David Vincent-Jones
I like to use the CP module a lot. I use it most often when I am using 
other modules and need to take care that L values are staying within 
range. My problem is that the action of CP disables the use of masks and 
features in other modules. I cannot even crop without turning off CP 
activity.


This is one module that I would like to see running freely in the 
background  would that be possible?
