The films strip often failed to work as I expected, so I shall be interested to see if that’s changed!
And… I’m perfectly happy with the new subscription model. It’s nice to not pay a small amount each month, rather than not having to stump up a large amount every year!
Kudos and thanks to all you guys!
This should probably be moved to another/new topic but this is how it behaves on my two W11 machines:
In Lightable culling fixed mode:
Lightable culling dynamic mode:
Lightable filemanager/zoomable modes work as in previous versions and Full Preview mode behaves similar to Culling Fixed
Darkroom
Maybe it’s different in other OSs, but I found that a change to another image by a single-click was more a ‘typical’ behavior as in other software.
Thanks for your reply and guidance 
Oh, what a nice first present on the morning of the Christmas Eve! 
My wife, who regrettably is somewhat suspicious of what I really read on my phone in bed in the morning, woke up wondering why the bed was shaking as I tried to stifle my laughter after having read that comment … Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I really like this new version, it’s not the object of big announcements for this or that module, but it’s a very responsive and efficient version. Bravo, and thank you all for your work.
As for the “films strip”, I also find it more coherent and practical. Among other things, it allows you to copy and paste processing without getting bogged down.
To go to the next image, I simply use a keyboard shortcut or my midi console.
Merry Christmas (or Solstice) to all,
Christian
@bastibe Bastian - you are my hero! The row-by-row jumping has been my biggest pet peeve with the Darktable UI. Thank you!
To all the devs - thank you for this release. The UI improvements are a big step forward and very much appreciated. Cheers!
Since upgrading to 5.0, discarding history takes forever. Previously I had 4.6.1 and discarding image history took maybe 5 seconds for 200 images. Now it takes around a full second for each image, meaning 200 photos takes over 3 minutes while everything else in darktable is frozen. Anybody else experiencing this same issue?
Congrats to all involved in this release.
On ubuntu I have this script run every time my computer is turned on.
#! /bin/bash
BACKUPDIR=/home/<user>/mnt/darktable-config
AGE_DATE=$(date --date="-10 days" -I)
AGE_SECS=$(date +%s --date "$AGE_DATE")
while IFS= read -r -d "" file
do
FILE_DATE=$(echo $file|grep -o -E "darktable-config-[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}") # don't find dates in directory names
FILE_DATE=$(echo $FILE_DATE|grep -o -E "[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}")
FILE_DATE_SECS=$(date +%s --date "$FILE_DATE")
if (( AGE_SECS >= FILE_DATE_SECS )); then
echo "cleanup: $file"
rm -f "${file}"
fi
done < <(find "$BACKUPDIR" -type f -name "darktable-config-*.dar*" -print0)
dar -c $BACKUPDIR/darktable-config-`date -I` -R /home/<user> -g .config/darktable
dar is my choice of backup program, a very capable tar-like application.
The process is a bit crude, but gives me peace of mind, this is in addition to my regular backup routines.
I’m glad you enjoyed!
I should have added that I can’t see any possible cause of complaint about the charge made for the version number change from 4 to 5. It is infinitely less than what has become normal in the industry.
Especially considering that it includes smooth scrolling in the lighttable. For life!
Many accolades to all those who help make this happen! However, it’d be helpful if the Mac downloads were more clear. Ya, I get, low priority… I was a linux user for 20years until PC hardware became so unreliable/buggy.
So, if you’re technical, the X86_64 version sends you in the right direction. But its unclear which arm64 version is best for which M# chip and which OS release? For example, ChatGPT suggests installing arm64-13.5 for latest OS support. Hmm. 
Yet, the Darktable release notes state Mac 13.5 OS support has been dropped since Darktable 4.8. 
So sadly, its just ambiguous and simply not addressed in an obvious/user friendly manner.
(I checked release notes and FAQ before posting – in either case, why not make it clear?)
“Hmm”, indeed… I wouldn’t use ChatGPT as a reliable source for anything.
(the remainder of this post was censored) (by me)
You’ll find out that the plain arm64 version won’t be usable on 13.5. So if you’re on a quite recent macos >=14.0 you can use both 
There are two versions because the github runner for arm64 just supports a build for macos 14
and btw:
to be precise: release notes points out that
Since 4.8 release the support for macOS versions older than 13.5 has been dropped.
That’s fine. The problem is in the labeling of the files, fully agreed it is unclear what arm64 version a user should download. I have already brought this up w/ @zisoft and @Pascal_Obry when 4.8 was released.
I finally got (very) tired of waiting and installed v5 from the Arch Linux extra-testing repository. Thanks to the dt devs for providing this.
yes, this exactly.
agreed. and of course you & I know that. My point is for a common nontechnical user, this is what they’ll find.
Many thanks for this feature, works great on Mac!
Same question here!
It’s really great to see DT making great progress!
I like the new styles but it’s very harsh on the blacks for my Nikon Z6, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not using it properly or if the setting is a bit off:
While I’m at it, there’s another question that’s bugging me: is there a way to just paste edits from the previous photo?
Thanks to all and happy photo editing!
