[Feature Request?] collections filter for active modules

Software darktable
1

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if this is already possible and I’m just overlooking it but I have the following problem/ feature request:
I would like to use the filter in collections to look for images with certain modules active - e.g. all images with an active instance of frame module. Currently if I filter for a module it shows all images with that module in the history - active or inactive.

Is this somehow feasible or if not could it be implemented in a feature request?

Best regards
Mark

Probably, but not without a lot of work. I believe the current filter looks at the history entries for an image and selects images if the module is present in the history. This would select an image that had the frame module applied at some point in the history regardless of whether it was on or off. To determine the module status would be much more involved requiring at least another database read so it would probably be slow.

the information is present in the same database table so it’s just an enhancement of the “where” phrase of the sql statement

I think the issue would be handling multiple occurrences in the pixelpipe and correctly determining the state at the end of a pixelpipe run… I haven’t looked at an entry, so I’m not sure what’s stored and in what order.
