I only started using darktable recently. It’s been great with the exception of speed and the MacOS UI having tiny controls. I have a reasonably powerful MacBook

  Since you recently climbed the learning curve and might have this fresh in your mind, how do you understand the history function? Sometimes do something and then want to undo it. This isn't easy for me in darktable -- it seems control-z does nothing, there are no standard menus, and every time I've touched the history section on the left side of the application, I end up destroying much more work than I intended. In case that is an X-Y question, how do I undo in darktable?

    > it seems control-z does nothing Normally v2.4.0 improves this. As stated in their release notes: “Add undo support for masks and more intelligent grouping of undo steps”. Basically, in v2.2, even low-level operations that didn't have a visible impact were in the undo list, so when you pressed Ctrl+Z it would undo something, but you wouldn't see any change. You would actually have to press Ctrl+Z several times to finally see something on the screen. This was changed and should be more human-friendly :) > how do you understand the history function? This is indeed a little bit more complicated that just a list of things to undo. You can read a bit more about it in the user manual: https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/darkroom_concepts.html#pixelpipe https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/darkroom_concepts.ht...
