Hello, I hope I am in the right place to ask these questions; if not please direct me to where these would be best answered.
I am wondering if there is an option for the mask manager in Darktable to store masks across images. I’m finding that when I move across images in darkroom mode, the masks only remain with the picture they were created on. This would be helpful for general shapes that I’ve created to quickly be available as I go through my images instead of recreating them every time.
Another question- it would be nice to preserve masks when using styles, but when I apply a created preset, the modules that had masks don’t seem to have them anymore. Is there an option to either preserve the mask on a module in a style or not?
One last question (for now)- I’ve been watching Lightroom videos and notice that there are a lot of shortcuts that seem to dramatically speed up editing time. For instance, you can use L to create a gradient and then quickly adjust exposure, or contrast, etc. on that gradient (with more shortcut keys). I can’t seem to find a way to assign a shortcut key to create a gradient quickly and then apply it to some module effect in any quick way.
Maybe there could be a universal shortcut key option for adding a circle, ellipse, path, gradient, etc., on whichever module that is currently selected?
