>             <parameter type="int" value="0" name="curvesType"/>
>             <parameter type="QPolygon" value=""

>             <parameter type="QPolygon" value="" name="values[BlueChannel]"/>
>             <parameter type="QPolygon" value=""
> name="values[GreenChannel]"/>
>             <parameter type="QPolygon" value=""
> name="values[LuminosityChannel]"/>
>             <parameter type="QPolygon" value="" name="values[RedChannel]"/>
>         </tool>
> The problem becomes visible for the user, when digikam is restarted (and
> therefore, the workflows get loaded from the queue.xml file): Open Batch
> Queue Manager and reload the workflow that contains the curves adjust tool.
> Then your defined curve is lost and the only default curve is shown.

Same than previous one.

> could be applied to a picture can be selected via radio buttons as well. But

>             <index value="0"/>
>             <version value="1"/>

>             <parameter type="bool" value="true" name="filterGEO"/>
>             <parameter type="bool" value="true" name="filterVIG"/>
>             ......
>         </tool>
> And when I deselect the "Use Metadata" button, the radio buttons to select
> the corrections are grayed out. I wonder if this is the correct behaviour. I

Same than previous. Also, there is this report :
