Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
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.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/problem-with-styles.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

I’m having problems with styles: I can create styles from the current history stack in the darkroom, but when I try to apply the style, ansel freezes and shows the message “Ansel ist not responding”, eventually forcing me to quit ansel. In the lighttable view, none of my styles are listed under the corresponding rider. This happens in version 85f2b8b, self-compiled under Gentoo-Linux, but it has been an issue for quite a while.

OK, I just realized: after stopping ansel and then re-opening it, the style in question has been applied to the selected picture.

Styles have been deactivated because its code needs to be rewritten.

Are styles still disabled? Having some trouble getting them to work on my machine and was just wondering if this might be the reason why. Thanks so much!
