map on darktable 5.6 user manual

find location

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Search for a location on the map. You must be connected to the internet to use this feature.

To use this module, type in a place name or address, press Enter and a list of results will be shown. Click on an item in the list and the map will zoom to that location. An outline covering that location or a pin pointing at the location will be displayed.

An outline (polygon) can be used to create a user location. Check the max polygon points parameter in the map settings module to ensure that sufficient points are available for a polygon to be displayed.

locations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Create areas or locations and organize them as hierarchical tags.

A location is shown as a shape on the map when selected. Initially each location is represented as a square or circle and can be changed to a rectangle or ellipse by adjusting the shape’s width and/or height.

A location can also be created from an OpenStreetMap region (city/country) polygon. To achieve this, first make sure the max polygon points parameter is large enough (some country polygons use more than 150,000 points). Then select the desired location in the find location module. When the corresponding region shape is displayed, a polygon symbol becomes available in the “shape” control (see below). Select it to create the new location.

Select preferred map data from various providers. Some will provide additional layers (satellite view etc.) which you can toggle.

🔗module controls

map source

Choose the provider to source map information from.

max polygon points

The find location module doesn’t display polygons with more points than this for performance reasons. Usually a country polygon has between 50,000 and 150,000 points.

show OSD

Choose whether to display the OSD controls at the top-left of the center view.

filtered images

Check this box to display only the images from the current collection (those shown in the filmstrip) in the center view. Un-check the box to display all images in the current library, where those images have associated GPS data. You can also toggle this option by pressing Ctrl+S.

max images

The maximum number of thumbnails to display on the map.

group size factor

Increase or decrease the size of area that causes images to be grouped.

min images per group

The minimum number of images that need to be placed in the same position in order to automatically create an image group for them.

thumbnail display

Define what information to show on the map display

thumbnails: Display image thumbnails along with a counter.

count: Just display the number of images (to free space on the map). Hover over the number of images to show the corresponding thumbnail(s). A count-only marker behaves the same way as a normal image thumbnail, in terms of color coding, scrolling, drag and drop etc.

none: Show nothing.

You can also cycle through these options by pressing Shift+S.
