Show additional settings request

Software RawTherapee
1

In the Local Adjustments panel, would it be possible to either:-

a) make “Show additional settings” the default setting

or, if people would prefer…

b) provide a user setting which makes it possible to toggle the default setting for this?

T.I.A.

2

In Preferences, General, set Default complexity to Advanced. It works for me.

Thanks for the reply, @mlenard … but unfortunately, it didn’t work. :thinking: A new spot still doesn’t have Show additional settings activated by default.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Hello
I just create a PR - branch “lasettings”

“Local adjustments - Show additional settings - link with complexity”
https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/pull/6899

it’s a simple solution (1 line of code) which allows you to link “Show additional settings” with the complexity level of LA chosen in “Preferences”

  • If you choose “Standard” or “Advanced”, “Show additional settings” is enabled by default

  • If you choose “Basic”, “Show additional settings” is disabled by default.

You can find executable in Pre-dev release
https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/releases/tag/pre-dev-github-actions

Of course there are other solutions for example by adding a control in “Preferences” (needs code), or by setting “enabled” by default in all cases. But the solution I propose is simple and preserves the simplicity of the interface in ‘basic’ mode.

Thanks for your reply, @jdc. Sadly, none of that means anything to me! I’m just a user of RT - I’m not into all the coding stuff. :face_exhaling:

I’m wondering if my suggestion could simply be included in the next release?

No needs to know code.

In the pre-dev release, Just click on the desired link and it will load the executable

https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/releases/tag/pre-dev-github-actions

for example
RawTherapee_Beep6581_lasettings_release.AppImage

Ok - thanks for this. I’ve done that, and it downloaded the file RawTherapee_Beep6581_lasettings_release.AppImage

What should I do next? (Apologies - explanation for dummies needed! :grinning:)

What is your operating system: Linux, Windows, MacOS?

If Linux the link is with “appimage”, I don’t use Linux (Appimage), but I think the method is the same as release in “dev”.

If you use Windows
RawTherapee_Beep6581_lasettings_win64_release.zip
Then unzip the file…in the folder of your choice

Many thanks @jdc. The Show additional settings is now ON by default! :+1: :grinning:

Yes, but only with “Complexity levels” in Preferences equal to “Standard” or “advanced”
:wink:

Yes, initially I forgot that! :neutral_face:

However. once I had remembered, it worked perfectly. :+1:

Thanks again, for your help.

A strange (though relatively minor) anomaly has arisen. :thinking: If it is possible to correct it, that would be good. If not, no problem.

Although the Show additional settings now defaults to ON when adding a new ‘spot’, if a spot is copied (with the Duplicate button), the Show additional settings on the new spot is OFF by default. Any thoughts?

@porchard
Thanks for this test :wink:
Indeed there is a bug, but it does not date from today.

I think this change should solve the problem (commit 5de665f)

https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/releases/tag/pre-dev-github-actions

or (it’s a copy of the link windows release above)
https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/releases/download/pre-dev-github-actions/RawTherapee_Beep6581_lasettings_win64_release.zip

I can’t reproduce it.
When I duplicate a spot, the “show additional settings” is still activated in the new duplicate. :man_shrugging:

Did you load a new image in this new build, i.e. there was no pp3 when starting this RT build?

Edit: The tested compilation is the one given by @jdc :

Is the Win64 file linked here the same one that I previously downloaded (in post #9)?

The problem when I copy the link in Pre-dev build, is that its name is the same, since I copy the link.

But this “new” link is with a new build.

To avoid making a mistake, either we compile or you will use “pre-dev build” (with the date in right part)
