The stack seems to have 2 instances of filmic, which is just wrong. (sigmoid is disabled, which is correct).
This is the style’s preview:

For the style I’ve been looking at, yes, it appears that both Filmic and Sigmoid have been used, but then, upon careful examination, I saw that Sigmoid is not activated. So, as you observed, it has no effect.
No idea what that refers to.
leftmost tab in the right sidebar, the one withthe “power” symbol (‘⏻’)

Gotcha: the “show only active modules” panel.

What would also be good is if we can assign a single short cut key to apply the relevant style based on the camera body.
I’ve installed darktable 5.0.0 on windows 11 and I was hoping to open my images from a Nikon Z6iii but they still can’t be opened. I’m getting the following message for all the raw files
What could the issue be? I can open images from a different Nikon camera but not for the Z6iii
@Chintan_Gohel
According to the release notes, only Nikon Z6_3 (14bit-compressed) is supported (the mode is important, too, not only the camera model).
I can confirm that only 14bit-compressed raw works for Nikon Z6 III, as @kofa and release notes states. Other formats will trigger the error.

Okay, I think I’ve managed to change that in the camera and I’ve tested - the images are now opening. Though the images I had taken before will have to wait until a the next darktable version comes out
The workaround is converting to DNG, or maybe switching to Libraw for NEF (undocumented, unsupported, at your own risk). Should you choose to do so:
1. Quit darktable if it is running
2. Locate your darktablerc file and open it in a simple text editor
3. Look for a line with libraw_extensions. If found, add nef to the list; If not found, a new line at the end of the file: libraw_extensions=nef.
4. Save the file, restart darktable.
(edit: libraw won’t work, either; thanks @kmilos for correcting my mistake)
LibRaw does not support Nikon HE yet either. This is patented technology. Don’t assume it’ll be there in the next version. Best convert those to DNG (keep the originals of course).

Its also a lossy compression.

Is it possible to make the active panel on the right after switching from lighttable to darkroom the one that contains the currently used and active modules? (second from the left). I looked for this type of option in the right panel settings, context menu and DT settings but I didn’t find it.
It seems that in darktablerc, the following line determines which tab is opened in the darkroom. You don’t have to adjust it manually, it’s updated whenever you switch tabs, and then whenever you enter the darkroom, the last one you selected is re-opened:
plugins/darkroom/groups=<some number>
(built from master, 5.1.0+23~g8855ec9e8c)
If you always want to switch to that tab, maybe it can be done using Lua. @wpferguson, is that right ?

Thx for the response but I am still somewhat confused. I upgraded my system from 13.4.1 to 13.7.2 (I need to keep on Ventura for other reasons) so I can use one of the non legacy images. So from https://www.darktable.org/install: is it still: darktable-5.0.0-arm64-13.5.dmg or I should already use darktable-5.0.0-arm64.dmg?
Also on another system, Sonoma 14.4.1, shall I use darktable-5.0.0-arm64-13.5.dmg or rather darktable-5.0.0-arm64.dmg?
darktable-5.0.0-arm64.dmg requires at least macOS 14, darktable-5.0.0-arm64-13.5.dmg at least 13.5.
newer macOS versions are able to run apps built for older macOS versions.
