You’ll find this community quite interesting, with your background. Haven’t experienced enough joy with it to merge the branch… I’m also intermittently playing with a adaptive UI timeout, where for a specific tool the first couple of times it is kicked off the durations are logged, and if the average duration is below a configurable threshold, the tool would switch to an immediate kickoff mode for each UI input. The other algorithm, wavelet, is fast enough but the results are not as as satisfying. So now I can set both sigma and radius, then kick it off. It’s got two algorithms, and the nlmeans option for each scooch of the sigma slider would commence a multi-second lock while it did it’s thing. I write my own raw processing software, and I had to put a toggle on my denoise tool for this very reason. Particularly denoise, the better algorithms are compute-intensive and having it kick off with every scooch of the slider is rather annoying. The tools I was referring to were the individual image operations, and the choice of a simpler algorithm in order to do such interaction. You can always enable power users to do custom stuff, if they prefer it. As a software engineer / UX person, it just seemed odd. When designing for a user, design for the least amount of surprise It’s not like I do not sympathise with speed arguments, it’s just that in this case, it seems moot, given that it would only make sense if you were not to want the effect you just tweaked. They use that approach because it makes sense. I just started using RT this weekend, and the astounding number of silent crashes per day is its main quality so far (maybe a 5.8 thing) I have used Lightroom (that sluggish beast) for years, and formerly Bibble (now Corel AfterShot Pro), neither known as low-quality tools. If you want that behavior, be willing to live with simpler, faster, lower-quality tools… If you have tweaked a setting, one would assume that you want to use them Therefore, a default setting of enabling something upon change makes sense. What I was saying is that if they are off by default (which is fine), they should be enabled once you start fiddling with them.ĭon’t benefit from a UI perspective from such auto-toggling every little tweak kicks off the processing.
