It’s almost time for a new release of RawTherapee. Over the last 5 months, developers and other contributors have added many features, enhancements, bug fixes, translations, and more to the development version. The feature set for 5.11 is now frozen, and the development version is effectively 5.11-beta. The next few weeks will be focused on getting the 5.11 release ready. This may include bug fixes, minor enhancements, improved camera support, and/or translations. Before the release, we will announce one or more release candidates.
Like many open-source projects, community involvement greatly improves progress.
If you have the development version, grab the latest update and try some of the new features. Report any issues you find in our bug tracker and feel free to leave feedback in this thread. A list of new features and enhancements will follow shortly is in this comment.
Interested in adding translations? We are always accepting translations, but now is a great time! You don’t have to translate everything at once. Even a few translations are helpful. If you are new to translating for RawTherapee, read this to get started.
Thanks for all your work! Love that we’ll have a new version soon. Meanwhile, I’ve created a bug report (5.11 Dev for Mac Crashes on Open · Issue #7149 · Beep6581/RawTherapee · GitHub) for the current version crashing instantly on my Mac. Note that the crash happens even though I deleted the old version of RT from my Applications folder.
Please tell me if I should include more information or be helpful in any other way.
@buddhaauthor You posted the same issue in 2023. It’s because you have more than one RawTherapee in /Applications and the duplicate which you are trying to run has a changed name, which is not allowed for system integrity reasons.
Yes, I made that error and posted in 2023 (sorry). But this time I deleted the older version of RT. I’ve now restarted the computer and I’ll try again…
Perhaps it was the restart. Perhaps it was my deleting the RawTherapee folder in Application Support as well as the application itself. In any case, RT is running fine and I’ll start experimenting. Thanks again for all your work.
Any chance of adding a Watermark module (like that of Darktable)? I know there are workarounds like scripts called from command lines. But a module dedicated for watermarking would be useful to have.
Ok. Those nightly-github-actions are neither signed nor notarized by an Apple Dev. They are not at all intended for user testing, but only to test the build-ability of the code base by the automatic GitHub action.
Are you still able to connect to my shared folder? There are some test builds there. Let me know if it doesn’t:
Thank you for testing. I will resume building RawTherapee in one week as I am currently overseas.
Great! glad that is working for you. If you’re itching to test something more recent, these are experimental, but on my fork I have the runner signing and notarizing with my certificate:
The truth is that RT in my opinion is better for editing RAW files. Please add Samsung Expert Raw DNG 1.7 JPEG-XL compatibility. I’ve been missing RT a lot. Thank you for all your work
