Favorites Tab

Introduction

RawTherapee 5.6 introduced a new "Favorites" tab, which allows you to list your favorite tools for quick access. Tools listed in the Favorites tab are removed from their tabs of origin.

The Favorites tab is hidden by default, and appears when tools are added to it.

A graphical user interface for easily marking tools as "favorited" is being worked on, but due to time constraints related to the release date, this GUI is not ready for 5.6 and will feature in a future release. For the time being, users who wish to "favorite" specific tools need to do so manually, as described below.

Usage

To add a tool to the Favorites tab:

1. Edit the options file in a text editor.
2. Locate the Favorite= key in the GUI section.
3. Add tools by their code-name (listed below), separated by a semicolon and ending with a semicolon. They appear in the order in which they are listed in the key. For example, to add Exposure, Shadows/Highlights and Resize to the Favorites tab, set the key as follows: Favorite=tonecurve;shadowshighlights;resize;
