Size input field when tagging Ctrl-T

Software darktable

Hi everyone,

I’d like to know how I can make the input field wider. The one that appears when I use Ctr-T for tagging.

Is is hardcoded? Or is it sized by CSS? Which file, name of the appropriate selector?

Thanks in advance.

I have never used this feature, but upon checking I agree its size seems excessively small. I wonder if a feature request to increase this size in the next DT would be welcome.

I am not a C programmer, so please be patient if I am mistaken.

Yes, see

Look for FLOATING_ENTRY_WIDTH (lines 40, 3881, 3891)

#define FLOATING_ENTRY_WIDTH DT_PIXEL_APPLY_DPI(150)

[…]

if(on_wayland)
  {
    GtkAllocation a;
    gtk_widget_get_allocation(center, &a);
    GdkRectangle rect;
    rect.x = MAX(0, a.width - 1);
    rect.y = MAX(0, (a.height / 2));
    rect.width = FLOATING_ENTRY_WIDTH;
    rect.height = 1;
    gtk_popover_set_pointing_to(GTK_POPOVER(d->floating_tag_window), &rect);
  }
  else
  {
    gint px, py, w, h;
    gdk_window_get_origin(gtk_widget_get_window(center), &px, &py);
    w = gdk_window_get_width(gtk_widget_get_window(center));
    h = gdk_window_get_height(gtk_widget_get_window(center));
    const gint x = px + 0.5 * (w - FLOATING_ENTRY_WIDTH);
    const gint y = py + h - 50;
    gtk_window_move(GTK_WINDOW(d->floating_tag_window), x, y);
    gtk_window_present(GTK_WINDOW(d->floating_tag_window));
  }

Perhaps it would even better, if one could size/position it to one’s own liking - with additional CSS.Like we can do with colors etc…

Many thanks for that research!
Very helpful for anyone who wants to compile his own homebrew version of DT.
