@lhutton

I’ve been doing DT tutorials (mixed in with other stuff) here. You can use them or not.

Added. Guess you didn’t show up when I searched for darktable on YouTube.

[garibaldi (Andrew)]

Thank you for adding Avid Andrew! Would it be helpful if I created an RSS feed specifically for just the darktable posts (not sure if this will be easier for Infoscope to parse)?

Doesn’t really matter. I already filter on the presence of the word darktable in either the title or the part of the article that’s included in the feed.

[garibaldi (Andrew)]

I’m not 100% certain I use the word darktable in the brief description each time, so here’s a feed that should have everything:

I switched to that feed for good measure, but there’s currently no neat way of excluding certain feeds from the filter. But I discovered that I had made a mistake in the filter definition, so now it seems most, if not all, of your blog posts are included, which they weren’t before.

Thanks!

I might still be able to dredge up some obscure channels on YouTube, I guess, but otherwise I really think that I have managed to add anything even remotely current now.

Well done – thanks!

[JasonTheBirder (Jason Polak)]

Just want to also say thanks for the effort. It’s a really cool way to see what’s going on with darktable. And of course, thanks for adding my channel

[Donatzsky (Nis Donatzsky)]

Just updated to the latest version of Infoscope, so now there are different themes to choose from, with light and dark modes for each.

To change theme, click the little thingy in the upper left corner. And switch between light and dark mode in the upper right corner.

Oh hey, glad to have my videos included

[elGordo (Gord)]

Nice work, Nis! That just earned a pinned tab in my browser.

Great idea.

What’s the address for the RSS feed?

Thanks!

[priort (Todd Prior)]

I know the manual and documentation are lagging a bit and we have a call out for assistance so this is a great resource to help bridge some of that and enhance what the manual can provide…

One suggestion … I think 4.8 is the most current posted version of the manual and the DT site still refers and links to the 4.6 version.

I’m not sure where or how to initiate updating that on the website but it might be worthwhile when people are directed to go look at it and i seems even older than it really is??

@ChristopherDillon

https://planet.darktable.org/rss.xml

I can recommend this extension to get a button in the address bar when a feed is available:

Feed Preview – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

This would probably be a better place to ask about that:

A plea for help writing the docs

Hey everyone! Bad news: as of now, the documentation will not be up to date for the coming 5.0 release of darktable (they probably won’t even be up to date for the current 4.8 release…). We’re asking for help writing up new features! If we can get some people each spending a few hours to document a feature, that’d put a huge dent in things (or even have everything documented!). Your English doesn’t need to be perfect nor do your technical writing skills. Just get some words down! Steps to he…

I think it is safe to say the manual release process is stopped.

[paperdigits (Mica)]

We are working towards a rolling version of the manual that is just as close to bring up to date as possible. We stopped linking manuals because they were never completed. We also aren’t currently generating epub or PDF for the rolling version, nor do we have translations working since weblate’s server crashed.
