One improvement would be to use drop down menus and context menus like other apps do. It’s not about emulating Lightroom but about behaving like most other GUI applications. By using drop down menus a lot of the right side of the lighttable screen could be removed. This section looks very overloaded.
Another nice feature would be to resync an imported folder to detect moved and deleted images. Also moving folders/film rolls would be nice.
I am pretty ok with the darkroom screen. My main problems are with file handling.
- paperd 5y agoI personally don't feel like hiding a bunch of stuff in a menu is better UI. Websites do that will the hamburger menu and its quite annoying. There is already a lua plugin to scan the filesystem for new files and import them. If you're going to delete files, do it from inside darktable. If you move files, you can rigt click the film roll and select the new location.

" Right now darktable is hiding stuff by overloading the main UI with a ton of buttons and expandable sections. It's hard to find things there and also uses up a lot of space. Drop down and context menus are what people are used to and they are also more efficient with space usage.
