* Use mtime as fallback timestamp for files without EXIF data As suggested in #6449, with date-based sorting it can be useful to have at least *some* sort of time-relevant information for EXIF-less files, to prevent them from falling back to getting sorted alphabetically all the time. This commit simply defaults the file timestamp to the file's mtime as returned by g_stat. For annoying reasons, it doesn't suffice to merely forward the timestamp to the FileData structs - we also need to keep track of it inside FilesData to cover the case of a file with 0 frames in it. * Add DateTime to Thumbnail Putting it here facilitate easier sorting without having to re-construct the DateTime on every comparison. To simplify things moving forwards, use the Glib::DateTime struct right away. This struct also contains timezone information, but we don't currently care about timezone - so just use the local timezone as the best approximation. (Nothing currently depends on getting the timezone right, anyway) In addition to the above, this commit also changes the logic to allow generating datetime strings even for files with missing EXIF (which makes sense as a result of the previous commit allowing the use of mtime instead). * Implement file sorting in thumbnail view For simplicity, I decided to only implement the attributes that I could verily easily reach from the existing metadata exported by Thumbnail. Ideally, I would also like to be able to sort by "last modified" but I'm not sure of the best way to reach this from this place in the code. It's worth pointing out that, with the current implementation, the list will not dynamically re-sort itself until you re-select the sorting method - even if you make changes to the files that would otherwise affect the sorting (e.g. changing the rank while sorting by rank). One might even call this a feature, not a bug, since it prevents thumbnails from moving around while you're trying to re-label them. You can always re-select "sort by ..." from the context menu to force a re-sort. Fixes #3317 Co-authored-by: Thanatomanic <6567747+Thanatomanic@users.noreply.github.com>
RawTherapee is a powerful, cross-platform raw photo processing program, released as libre software under the GNU General Public License Version 3. It is written mostly in C++ using a GTK+ front-end. It uses a patched version of dcraw for reading raw files, with an in-house solution which adds the highest quality support for certain camera models unsupported by dcraw and enhances the accuracy of certain raw files already supported by dcraw. It is notable for the advanced control it gives the user over the demosaicing and development process.
Target Audience
RawTherapee is designed for developing raw files from a broad range of digital cameras, as well as HDR DNG files and non-raw image formats (JPEG, TIFF and PNG). The target audience ranges from enthusiast newcomers who wish to broaden their understanding of how digital imaging works to semi-professional photographers. Knowledge in color science is not compulsory, but it is recommended that you are eager to learn and ready to read our documentation (RawPedia) as well as look up basic concepts which lie outside the scope of RawPedia, such as color balance, elsewhere.
Professionals may use RawTherapee as well while enjoying complete freedom, but will probably lack some peripheral features such as Digital Asset Management, printing, uploading, etc. RawTherapee is not aimed at being an inclusive all-in-one program, and the open-source community is sufficiently developed by now to offer all those peripheral features in other specialized software.
