[Digikam-users] RAW importing enables automatic brightness and does not stick to digikam's settings

[Sven Burmeister]

Hello everybody!

I just want to check whether I am really the only one experiencing this issue 
with current svn of digikam and kipi-plugins or if it is reproducible for 
others as well.

If you set-up the raw import settings in digikam (its main settings) and set 
quality to AHD, disable automatic brightness and enable noise reduction (not 
changing the numeric value), these settings are ignored by several parts of 
digikam.

To test this use a photo taken during the night, i.e. a dark one with some 
lights on it.

If you have set digikam to automatically import raw pictures when you open 
them in the editor, then opening that picture in the editor should work fine. 
Putting the same picture into the batch queue manager and using "convert to 
png", which also imports automatically from RAW, creates a much brighter image 
although "automatic brightness" is disabled.

If you have told digikam to not import RAWs automatically but show the raw 
import utility in the editor on the right-hand side first, you can check 
whether that utility sticks to the digikam settings, i.e. quality set to AHD, 
automatic brightness disabled and noise reduction enabled. For me, noise 
reduction is never enabled and quality is always set to "bilinear". BQM 
produces the same result as in the other scenario.

I tried this with a clean config, i.e. removed digikamrc and started all over 
again. Can anyone reproduce this? If so, please add your comments to 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215657

I even tried to remove the kipirc file, but it seems digikam does not need/use 
it, since it is not re-created when I start digikam again.

Regards

Sven
