#DARKTABLE BLACK AND WHITE SOFTWARE#

toggling a module on or off (as it usually takes a couple seconds between doing this and adjusting values).I'm guessing darktable doesn't save after every edit as hitting the disk might cause UI lag.Д«ut I wonder if there could be some heuristic where darktable could save in certain cases, such as (just brainstorming here):

(This is true for any pro-level software someone uses a good bit it's not a knock against darktable.) My work-around is to switch between darkroom and lighttable once in a while. I think everyone who uses darktable for quite some time has lost edits due to a darktable crash at one point or another.

Darktable Version: darktable master, darktable 3.4.0.

Platform (please complete the following information): If it can't be done all automatically then here's one possible way to address this: Of course, if it can be done so that everything is saved without the need for user awareness and input like CTRL+S, then the CTRL+S shortcut an labels or any GUI is not necessary. It should also implement CTRL+S shortcut to the save to xmp instead of soft proofing. It should at least do that periodically and implement a clear label to show when there is unsaved history, similar to DaVinci Resolve.

Launch Darktable, open the same image and observe that all of your edits are gone.Дarktable should save changes to disk (xmp file) while editing.

Cause darktable to crash or shut down ungracefully (kill it from terminal or system monitor).Make some edit (do not go to another image or exit darkroom).Import any image into Darktable and open it in darkroom.There have been images that I have been working for an hour or two and lost everything because of an ungraceful app shutdown. Is there anything that could be done about that behavior? Could we have a ctrl+s shortcut or have Darktable automatically save the changes? IвЂ™ve noticed that every time Darktable crashes it also looses all the edits made in the latest active editing session.
