Paste last edited Model adjustment - missing command

I can’t access DT’s 5.4 Help [404 Not Found—nginx/1.29.4] which has been offline since launch.

Problem: Trying to find the Shortcut/command that lets me Paste the last adjustment into the current image.

Anyone know where I can find this?

It’s evading me!

Thanks.

This URL should be the one associated with the Help button in dt. The latest version is still 4.8 :thinking:

selective copy / paste

yes. thanks. I know that one. But there’s also a non modal one that doesn’t need any interaction, it just remember the last setting you touched, and pastes it into the active file.
Unless I’m hallucinating, after too many mince pies!

This is the link to the development branch of the manual. It has the latest approved content, but it might still be missing information around new features.

I’m not aware of such a feature, but I may have missed it. I’m not at my computer. Try pressing h to get a list of keyboard shortcuts.

It came with 5.0. From the release notes:

In darkroom, add action (binding to Ctrl+x by default) for synchronizing the last edited module on current edited module to the
selection.

Upon sporadic trial of using this feature it didn’t work for me. But I would be curious about it, too.

this should be fixed.

I didn’t know about this. It’s gonna save me so much time! Many of my modules have a preset called “1” that only serves the purpose of saving and applying the present values.

To make it work, use a module in the darkroom view, then show the film strip. Select the target images and press ctrl+x. Tested on Windows.

I get why it didnt work for me now: One needs to actually click-select the target photo, the mouseover-indication (that works for STRG+C/V etc.) doesn’t work for STRG+X. I opened a feature request.

On a Mac, at least, the Command seems not to work reliably. I can copy paste history stacks by cmd+C/V, but cmd+x not playing. Tried mapping to other keys.

This is with 'prioritise hovered image ON in lightable settings.

I think it’s simply not working in the same way copy/paste all settings does.

It’s a shame because it would be much faster than picking through the selective/copy paste dialogue box, when you just want to repopulate a tweak to a module to similar images.

Strg+x actually does the pasting. Are you aware of that?

Yes. It doesn’t work on Mac.

On Mac it works for me, when I use a module (for example disabling and enabling it), then click the filmstrip to select another image and press cmd+x. Darktable 5.4.

I checked it on my osx_intel and does not work. However on my Virtualbox for linux does.

SO if there’s only a command to PASTE the last edited module, does that mean that is DT automatically COPIES the last module adjustment to memory, to enable you to target the destination file and ctrl+x to synchronise?

It is not at all clear in the documentation. If it’s working, I’d love to know what steps you take to invoke it.

The documentation you are referring to is the development branch; the one I mentioned is marked as stable in the URL…

Yeah, but it is really old from 4.8 instead of 5.4 (3 revisions old).
