QuickRawPicker v0.1.11 released

Previous post: I've created a new software to cull and pick raw photos.

QuickRawPicker is a free and open source program that lets you cull, pick or rate raw photos captured by your camera or mobile. It is also compatible with the XMP sidecar file used by Adobe Bridge/Lightroom/Darktable or PP3 sidecar file used by Rawtherapee.

You can download the latest version from here: Releases · qdwang/QuickRawPicker · GitHub

Some settings explanation

Item Description
Renderer For most cases, GLES3 is the best choice. However, if your graphics card is too old, you have black screens when opening photos or performance problems when opening too many photos at the same time, you can still choose to use GLES2.
Export associated The delimiter must be /
$ means the raw file name without the extension(Like DSC00032)
# means the raw file name.(Like DSC00032.ARW)
For example:
$.JPG means also copy a file named DSC00032.JPG
#.xmp means also copy a file named DSC00032.ARW.xmp
$.xmp means also copy a file named DSC00032.xmp

Thanks.
Regarding xmp naming, it’s ok. When I rate an image in qrp, dt sees it.
However, darktable doesn’t add some xml tags if it imports an image with an associated xmp produced by qrp, but this is darktable’s, not qrp I guess, and to me it’s a non-issue, since it doesn’t show any hicups in my darktable workflow.

USE CASE - Rate image in qrp, then import in dt and increase exposure

qrp xmp
DSCF7517.RAF.xmp (310 Bytes)

dt xmp after exposure increase
DSCF7517.RAF.dt.xmp (6.1 KB)

dt xmp from fresh (no previous qrp action)
DSCF7517.RAF.xmp (6.4 KB)

Also, if I rate an image previously edited by darktable in qrp and then reapply the updated xmp in dt, dt doesn’t see the new rating, only if I remove the image from the database and reimport it.

Thanks @gadolf for the testing.

Sorry, but in my test, I didn’t see any xml tags differences. Just one order switch for sharpen and filmicrgb sections. It shouldn’t cause any rendering issue I guess.



This may caused by the DT internal caching/database system. DT won’t read the .xmp file again after the importing.

Try the following:

  1. Import raw photo X.
  2. Rate the photo X to 3 in darktable.
  3. Open the .xmp file in any text editor and change the rating to 5.
  4. Restart darktable, you’ll still see a rating 3 for photo X.

So there is nothing QRP can do about it.

Correct. I was comparing two use cases:

  1. here, dt imports image, no previous use of qrp rating
  • darktable adds creator and rights tags;
  1. here, dt imports image after qrp rating - OK
  • here, darktable correctly handles qrp rating, but doesn’t add creator_ and rights tags - OK to me, but I’m not sure how this affects other uses.

Anyway, certainly not a qrp thing, I agree with you.

So, thanks for keep improving qrp and listening to the community!

As it is now, with darktable compatibility, it’s already part of my workflow.

I finally got a chance to test out the new update, an have an interesting bug. Pictures in portrait orientation load, but not ones in landscape. This is even with setting it GLES2. :face_with_monocle:

Landscape images did load with the GLES2 special version.

that’s weird. Could you press F12 and check if the GLES2 mode works?

F12 will display a system info on the top right corner.

I figured it out :slightly_smiling_face:; a restart is required for the setting change to take affect. If I select GLES2 and then close and reopen QRP, it works fine.
I recommend adding a note indicating this to be the case. Below is a screenshot of how RawTherapee handles it.

I also recommend adding [OK] and [Cancel] buttons to the settings dialog.

Yeah that’s right. I’ll add the tips. Thanks
