Re: [Gimp-user] Digikam raw files and darktable

[cerp <cerp eeos biz>]

Dear all,

Then we would need to have a fork for RawTherapee, one for LightZone  
(which I both prefer to Darktable for RAF file editing) and so on ....  
would it not be better to have a mechanism to use the preferred editor?

Best Regards
