What’s new in version 5.2.1
- Reset window position if it can't be placed at last used position on any available monitor in a multi-monitor setup.
- Add busy cursor while generating a GPX track preview and a progress bar while applying positions from a track to images.
- Fixed translation of snapshot module's labels.
- Expanded width of preference boxes Lua Options so that long input is visible.
- Fixed compilation when OpenMP is disabled.
- Fixed an OpenCL bug in rastermask module for non-raw images.
- Fixed regression introduced in darktable 5.0 with inability to read raw files from ancient (over two decades old) Canon cameras that recorded raw files with .tiff extension.
- Fixed the inability of external raster masks module to work in Windows with PFM files that have Unicode characters in the file name.
- Fixed a bug in liquify OpenCL code leading to incorrect clamped
- output.
- Fix color equalizer picker not working in quick access panel.
- Paletted TIFFs were read incorrectly by the main libtiff-based loader, with loss of color information. We are now handing them over to the GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick fallback loader (usually available in official/distro builds) for correct reading.
- The variable names for the metadata tags variables have been changed to the full case sensitive tag name to avoid ambiguity.
- Fixed inability to remove collections with ' in the name.

Version: 3.0.2
very good app but painfully slow on my late 2018 imac (16 GB ram, 3,8 GHz i5 cpu, Radeon Pro 580 8GB) . I have tried everything to configure it to run quickly but with no effect. due to very slow running almost unusable

Version: 3.0.1.2
I was able to run Darktable 3.0.1.2 for a while on my iMac and edited several photographs. But then it crashed while importing images. It now refuses to open at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled 3.0 and even tried the same with previous versions. None will open either from the dock or from clicking the icon. I wish it were more reliable. To those who complain about the small screen font size, it really is adjustable. You just need to know where to look to make the changes.
