Earlier quoted context omitted.
I just assumed it was what people used. I tried but couldn't get the hang of it. Couldn't flatten or remove things from the history.
It’s not your fault. It has the worst UX of anything I’ve used. Be careful if you use the mousewheel anywhere, you don’t know what unexpected action it’s going to perform. Drawing vector shapes for masks is wildly frustrating too. It does have a lot of powerful modules though… and it’s free.

As I said in my other comment, Aurélien has strong opinions. He felt he could not effectively work with the other darktable devs and decided to fork the project.

What is code stashing.

Personally, I really like a number of the features that this fork removed (like the timeline). The software does have a bit more of a learning curve than the commercial variants out there, but darktable is impressively capable and I personally jive more with its theory-based approach.
I _do_ agree that deprecating the display-referred mutations is a good thing, but the darktable documentation is already pretty adamant about scene-referred being the future; though there's no way people are going to go through their entire library and update their past tweaks from display to scene-referred, so I don't know that those modules can ever be removed.
I guess if I was going to be as petty as the author of this fork, I'd say that the Ansel logo looks awful.

> Anyone know what happened to the Darktable project? Are you referring to the fact of there being no releases in the last year or so? Edit: Ignore the above - it's incorrect.
4.4 was released in June 2023: https://www.darktable.org/2023/06/darktable-4.4.0-released/
4.6 is slated for December 2023: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/master/RELEA...
Their release schedule has been remarkably consistent.
