The CLI seems to require the specific binary:
/Applications/darktable.app/Contents/MacOS/darktable-bin
Sadly, when I start it with < -d all >, it exits with an error…

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /opt/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.

However, lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache does exist: but on a Mac, there’s no /opt/local, so of course it isn’t in there!
I’m not going to mess about trying to unscramble this, as my installation works perfectly from the GUI, and I don’t have time to do all the troubleshooting simply to generate a debug log file for github.
@saknopper >>> Mmm… using just /darktable is working now. (Must have misspelled something again - need more coffee & croissants!)
Also, /darktable -d all is working, but I can’t find the log file. I thought it was sent to
/Users/[user]/.cache/darktable
but it’s not there. In that directory, there’s only
cached_kernels_for_AMDRadeonPro555ComputeEngine
and
mipmaps-abf8c41f84cb7bcf0eef6f895945b3232607c553.d
Any ideas where the log file goes?
(…Or do you have to specify a logfile name and path in the CLI options?)
…Ah, it only outputs to the terminal, so you need to redirect the standard output.
By the way, @paperdigits, hope you don’t get me wrong that I’m trying to file a bug report here in this forum. I merely spoke out my thoughts, that’s all.
@archiemac, I will try with my Apple USB mouse tomorrow, I don’t have a magic mouse though, and don’t intend to get one just to serve this purpose. I haven’t been touching on Linux for about 5 years ever since I left my job as an IT engineer. Nonetheless, I will see if my old PC is still wiling to serve me with a Linux OS.
@lonetree >>> I’m really interested to hear how the Apple USB mouse performs for resizing the mask feather, as the only USB devices I have are not Apple. Your results may help us understand whether this is a USB issue. (Do you know whether the Apple USB mouse uses an Apple driver or just the basic USB interface?)
Hi @archiemac, sorry for updating late. Moment ago I took out my half crippled Apple USB mouse and tried out scrolling up and down to increase / decrease size of feather, and it works fine. I think such issue is only for non Apple mouse.
I am not sure if Apple mouse uses an Apple driver or not though.
Thanks for the info. It confirms what’s been emerging about scrolling with non-Apple and Apple devices over on github, where this problem has been discussed with a couple of devs, including the maintainer for OSX.
