darktable 3.0 module order reset ?

[revilo (Oliver)]

The original question also had the aspect of how to reset the module order back to the darktable default (e.g. if one has screwed things up). Here the 3.2.1 release has really brought an improvement:

Better management of the image processing pipeline

As a reminder, darktable 3.0 not only introduced a new processing pipeline order, but also the possibility to change the order of the pipeline by reordering the modules yourself (a very advanced function). In fact, some users were lost and had no way to find the default order of earlier versions. So, a new permanent module has been added in darkroom (in bottom of right panel) named module order . This module allows you to check the pipeline order actually applied to the current image: 3.0 (the new default order), original (the default order on versions older than 3.0) and custom (personal order that you define, even unintentionally). This same module also allows you to apply 3.0 preset, the original one, or save your own custom preset. You can find the new filter collections presented earlier in this article.

On the “order in GUI” vs. “order in pixelpipe” discussion, I agree that they should be synchronized. I make sure that the majority of modules I use are in the favorite list and for anything else I use the search-box. Only very occasionally I go through the other tabs to look for other modules that I could use.
