until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.

Should I consider the print module a very early work in progress? Version 1771-gb301b7f-x86_64. I can make a print, which surprised me, since it was not intentional, but I’ve made worse. I can not place an image into the template, only print it from the filmstrip as a selection. Then the whole thing breaks, and I have to restart Ansel just to use the Darkroom again. If it’s supposed to be working, I will add more information. If not, I will just bide my time. I can understand that it is not a priority.
