Hi there,
First of all I would like to say very big Thank you! to the team of ART project! Really, Despite I’m vivid user of RawTherapee I appreciate your efforts in bringing new ideas into this raw development approach!..
I use both manual git repository release download and flatpack versions of ART on Fedora Linux. Both work fine (I tend to prefer flatpack one because of automatic updates), except that flatpack package version misses (disabled) that Embedded in metadata profiled lens correction option!? Its kind of annoying cause I have few lenses which has no appropriate profile in the ART/RawTherappe but has some builtin one which camera understands and uses during shoot…
I’ve tried to allow full access pf ART flatpack to the system - it doesn’t help, seems it’s somethinkg missing in the flatpack package itself!?.
I just do not knowe how ART reads this information: by internal code or separate external utility (exiftool)? If latter - then maybe flatpack package just miss that utility?..
ART uses exiftool. In principle you can install it yourself and set the correct path in the preferences dialog. However, I don’t know if this will work with the flatpak sandboxing. As I wrote above, I have zero experience with flatpaks and so I can’t be of much help I’m afraid, sorry.
I see that in “traditional” installation package exiftool is present in the lib folder! I suspect that flatpack contains it too. So the problem probably in incorrect invoke of included exiftool in case of flatpack…
Wait I do not see anything similar to exiftool in flatpak app folder (but there a re some other common libs there) - so maybe it just absent in flatpack!
Unfortunately I’m not an expert in flatpaks…
