Against bad weather and huge waves this sailboat called darktable opens her sails and flies over the rough waters with an incredible crew of captains, and sailors. Thank you all for this great opportunity to be part of this excellent community.

Congrats on the release!

The new crop UI is really cool! As somebody who has customized their defaults with many a default preset, the new auto-labeled modules are fantastic as well.

And it feels a good bit more snappy than I remember.

Great release!

First of all congratulation with the work done for releasing Darktable 4.4.0

I’m unfortunately facing strange problem. I can’t find solution.
![Darktable 4.4.0. I’m currently using Windows 10 and after working on pictures the darkroom shows black thumbnail when moving to the next picture. This could be visible on the bottom following view.

Any idea for solving the problem? I already tried closing DT, then restarting the computer. Always the same result. Lightroom is not affected with it.
Regards.

Newbie question:

I saw mentions about updated default values. If I have a style, does this retain the old values or do they get updated with the new defaults? When I click on edit style, all I get is a list of modules, and I can’t seem to access any values… so maybe that means that styles are only modules and no values?

[paperdigits (Mica)]

The style should retain the values held in the style.

@Pascal

Lightroom is not affected with it.

I assume you meant the lighttable.
Have you tried disabling OpenCL? If that helps, re-enabling it after updating your video driver?

If these steps do not help, please open a new thread, let’s not hijack this one.

[ActarusLeGrand]

Try another collection.

I’m on Linux Mint 21.1 (Ubuntu 22.04), using the latest release ppa from OBS repository, and update manager hasn’t listed darktable 4.4 yet like it usually does when there is an update. Has this happened to anyone else using this distro?

Darktable 4.4 - Ubuntu 23.04

Hey guys. First, thank you for the effort in releasing Darktable 4.4. I have installed in Ubuntu 23.04 using a flatpack, and looks a very good release, but the flatpack is slow and Darktable is freezing when editing photos. I have looked on OBS and it is not there yet. Is there any availability of 4.4 native for Ubuntu 23.04?. Thanks

@paperdigits

The style should retain the values held in the style.

Thanks for the information!

Just to confirm, there’s no UI in Darktable to show or edit those values?

[Claes]

Hi @eobet,

Load a style, for instance one setting exposure to -2.

In darkroom view, open the exposure module.
It will show -2 because that is what the style
asked for. Change the value at will – and save
new value as a new style.

Have fun!

Hey all,

How does one downgrade to 4.2?
One of my most used modules has been deprecated, because it was deemed too simple, but sometimes simple is all you need.
