>I'm also glad it exists but have never figured out how to use it on MacOS Same here. I just downloaded V4 to see if there was any improvement from last time I tried to use it * Open app, Select 'Add to Library' --> spinning beachball of doom delete the ~/.config/darktable directory, to give me a clean start... * Open app. App opens in a weird window the full width of my screen but only half the depth. I try to resize the window. It won't rezise, even though I get resize arrows when hovering over the corner. Finally manage to make it usable by hitting the fullscreen widget. * Try 'Add to Library' again. This time it allows me to select my photos archive folder. I see there's a tickbox marked 'Recursive' so I click on that as I have subfolders in my photos archive. I can't select the box. Then the spinning beachball of doom starts again... * Force quit * Delete app. Life's just too short to mess about with an app that hangs twice, requiring a force quit, before I've even managed to do a single thing with it.

It's Linux software. Support for other operating systems is an afterthought. You guys have to deal with Adobe, or use a less advanced alternative.

  For RAW editing DXO is great and runs native on Apple silicon. Recently bought ON1 and Affinity photos as well so there are other alternatives to Adobe, at least in the processing stage of RAW development.

    MacOS supports RAW images as well. I’m wondering if DarkTable could/should leverage it. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212821 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212821

      Yep. I use the spacebar a lot for that ; )

    Does DXO still bundle rootkits (PACE) with their software?
    - bori5 4y ago
      I’m sorry don’t even know what the question means in this context or what pace is.

        Google suggests https://paceap.com/ https://paceap.com/ i.e. DRM.

        Pace Interlock is the virulent DRM that DxO chose to bundle with all their software – even the trial versions. It's been so long I don't remember the details, but it's far more intrusive than Adobe's license management stuff. Especially in the context of open source software suggesting DxO anything is in poor taste unless they've ditched Pace. Here's a little list of the problems Pace can cause: http://web.archive.org/web/20071009193327/http://www.paceap.com/faquser.html http://web.archive.org/web/20071009193327/http://www.paceap....

  > It's Linux software. Support for other operating systems is an afterthought. This is the correct answer. I actually switched to Linux from macOS partly to be able to run darktable in a more native setting.
