I couldn’t find it in the manual, so I’m turning to you for help. Is there a shortcut which will close all open modules in any view. I find it a bit of a chore scrolling up a module to double click the module header to close it. This becomes especially irritating with those modules that have a lot of options say Color balance RGB as an example
Not sure if such a shortcut exists (but the settings dialog should list all existing shortcuts).
However, under “preferences → darkroom” there are a few options to control what happens when expand, select or activate a module. Some settings there may help.
I agree that a shortcut to achieve what you suggest would be helpful. Maybe you could consider a feature request if a current solution doesn’t already exist. In the preferences I have expand a single processing module at a time selected and this usually results in just one module being open within the group of modules. It helps a lot.
Probably not what you’re looking for, but a good tip regardless:
If you Alt Shift+Click on the module’s header it will only open that module, and collapse all others. At least one way to keep it tidy.
Edited: Got it wrong, sorry. I had this setting on and mixed it up.
Doesn’t work here (master branch, Linux, KDE, Xorg).
Shift + Click in Ansel
Thanks – same in darktable.
If you want to expand more than one module, you may expand further modules by Shift+clicking on the header and all previously expanded modules will remain open. This behaviour can be reversed via a setting in preferences > darkroom.
