Windows 10 - Ansel ( ansel-eb70788-win64.exe )
Bonjour à tous,
Suddenly the bottom panel disappeared into the light table. But it is still present in the form of a very thin edging (1mm) at the foot of Ansel’s window in the same gray as the left and right panels. And I can’t find any way to enlarge it…
I tried to pass all values bottom_visible to TRUE in the anselrc file, but without success. I also deleted this file then relaunched Ansel without further success.
Furthermore, I also noticed that in the darkroom I no longer have access to the button allowing you to clone an image.
Last info, without being entirely certain, this seems to have happened after installing the ansel-eb70788-win64.exe version. I then reverted to ansel-26acfc2-win64.exe. But still no change.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

- +1; I’m experiencing the exact same problem using AppImage on Ubuntu
- problem persists even if I go back 3 versions
- I see no errors in the command line

I suspect that this is WAI

I just noticed that when exporting, if I choose a file format it is the format just below the one I chose which is selected. For exemple, to export in TIFF I must therefore select PPM :-(
It looks like we are facing a lag issue at the bottom of the left panel.

Oops ! Aurelien Pierre has just told me that the command to make clones can now be found in the general menus / Edit / Duplicate existing development (Ctrl+D). This modification seems relevant to me ;-)
