Several icons have been redesigned, such as group, star, help, preferences and the mask icons. By default, 3.0.x shortcuts are disabled ( Shift + Ctrl + T and Shift + Ctrl + B) but can be redefined in the preferences. You can now change the display of the top (header and info bar) and bottom panels with a single key combination. To make a new selection, use Alt + click. In other views, to add more images to a selection, use Ctrl and Shift click, depending on whether you want to add one image, or several. You can now single click an image in the filmstrip to load it for editing. Showing or hiding tooltips is also confirmed by a toast message. This appears at the top of the image and makes some essential information visible, like the mask opacity value or exposure change. a (slightly) improved display of tooltips.Ī new type of tooltip, universal toast message, is used mainly on the darkroom.the possibility to show/hide tooltips at any moment with a simple shortcut: Shift + T.To get around this as much as possible, the darktable team has integrated two things (after long debates):
Unfortunately, this problem can’t be fixed by the darktable team since it’s an inherent flaw in GTK+ (the GUI library used by darktable). Tooltips sometimes have the disadvantage of being displayed where you don’t want them to be. Select another image, then paste button becomes clickable. As long as image stays selected, paste is not usable (no point in pasting the development of an image on itself). For example, select an image, open the development module, then click on copy. This feature enables or disables buttons, depending on whether they’re usable or not in the current context. New dynamic buttons have been integrated, for a better user experience. Warning : leaving the field that manages this content empty in the preferences will not display anything, whichever option is selected in menu below.ĭynamic buttons: personalize your actions The content of those tooltips can be customized in preferences.
An option allows you to display or not display thumbnail tooltip on hover. If that level of verbosity is not for you, there is a minimalist mode (“no overlays”). Clicking on the star icon at the top right, you will discover a new popover menu that contains these new thumbnail display options (stars, group icon, altered icon, color labels, and information). All these parts are now ready for use with up to 8k screen resolutions.Īldric also adds new overlays modes on thumbnails, applicable independently in each of the existing modes ( zoomable lighttable, file browser, culling, preview and filmstrip). zoomable lighttable mode, file browser, culling mode and preview. In this article, for the sake of simplicity, the overhaul of lighttable includes all the modes related to lighttable, i.e. The filmstrip also benefits from a redesign and performance enhancements. The display speed is notable, particularly when using the zoomable lighttable mode and on slightly older configurations. Thanks to the hard work of AlicVB (Aldric Renaudin), lighttable is far more efficient.
The lighttable has evolved the most since the last release. Interface improvements are huge, some of which are detailed below, such as the overhaul of the preferences, dynamic buttons or tooltips, and the biggest piece, the in-depth redesign of lighttable.
The CSS work also increased consistency between themes and for items in the interface, for example: check boxes were not exactly the same before version 3.2. CSS themes now have more precise classes and more inline comments, making it easier for you to control the look and feel of darktable. Several developers have worked hard to bring you a neat interface, starting with a complete rewrite of lighttable, which is also complemented by nice performance improvements.
LIGHTTABLE UNDO PROFESSIONAL
The darktable team has fine-tuned the interface minutely, for a more professional look. A refined interface, down to the last details If you need a refresher course on version 3.0 features see the 3.0 article.ĭue to last minute bug fixes, darktable 3.2 will begin directly with a 3.2.1 release. 2020 will therefore be the first year in which the darktable team will have the pleasure to offer you two major versions. On top of that, version 3.4 is still scheduled for Christmas 2020. The unfortunate state of global health has led to a marked increase in contributions and improvements. For the first time in its history, darktable breaks its one year release cycle by releasing version 3.2 in August of 2020.
