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.

I just want to take the opportunity to thank all developers and other supporters for making that release possible.
For me as a “normal” user it contains quite some improvements overall. I would like to point out the new option to swap left and right sides in the darktable module. Even on youtube, some users seem to be puzzled, who takes a use case out of this. For me this is a major step. Back in the days, there was not a lot hardware supporting left handed input devices so of course I adopted to what was available without much thinking about it. Nowadays I have a free choice and I prefer to use a lefty mouse, trackpad or lefty orientated pen/tablet. Having the development tools on the left side feels natural in my usecase.
So again, thank you for solving the underlying problems and providing the option to swap sides.
PS: One of the many reasons I like gimp is exactly that…it allows me to freely adjust my tools which in my case are also exclusively left centric.

Hello! I also wanted to add and give a huge THANK YOU! I am still new to Darktable but I am very happy and amazed with all the features and functionality it offers.
I have one question, I hope it is not a silly one but, haven´t been able to find it: I am not able to list the “Print” menu. I mean, from all the documentation I have read, it should supposeadly list a “Print” menu within the options of the “black” top right menus. I have even seen pictures of that on internet. However, in my case, after selecting a photo within LightTable module (or in any other, for that matter) and try to reach that “Print” module, it is not there. I can see LightModule, Darkroom and “Other” (being “Other” clearly a dropdown menu). Once I expand the “Other” it only shows “Map”, “Slideshow” and “Tethering”. Am I doing something wrong? I am using the most recent Darktable version 5.00. Needless to say, I have the printer already setup, with all the drivers installed, the printer is perfectly working on other applications etc. My printer is an HP Envy Photo 7830.
Thanks in advance in case you could help me find the reason for my issue, and best regards!!
Javier
@Javier_Falcon you haven’t mentioned what operating system you’re using. If you’re on Windows, the print functionality will not work as it’s designed around cups, which is only available on Linux/Mac.
