Darktable LUA Script for Multiple External Editors - it works for MAC, PC & Linux, and it's GREAT!
In last weeks video I made a few assertions about Darktable LUA scripts not working on Mac at least. But, now I've found one that does EVERYTHING I could wish for!
It works on Mac, PC and Linux, and can handle up to 9 external editors of your choosing - yes, NINE.
It's easy to instal, set up and use, as you will see in this video.

First, you need to instal GIT on your system - follow the instructions here docs.darktable.org/lua/stable/lua.scripts.manual/installation/ - it's so simple I forgot the step in the excitement of making this video!

Good deed, Andy. It works fine here with the following 3 editors: Affinity Photo 2, old Photoshop CS5 and PhotoLab 6. I had a problem with the strange positioning of AF2 on my Win10 PC - and others have had the same problem since AFver2 was removed from Program Files and placed as a Microsoft app (the current weird position can be found with Task Manager - have AF2 running, then Alt-Ctrl-Del and expand the Affinity entry - right click on the child entry and select Open file location (this path may produce an error when used from Darktable - therefore the bat file as follows:). The solution was to create a bat file with the following 2 lines: [start affinityphoto2.exe %1 (new line) exit] and call this bat file from the LUA Options panel in Darktable Preferences. Not my solution, I found it in the affinity support forum. My bat AffinityPhoto2 is placed on the desktop.

YUP! been using it for the past 3 days now and find that it works perfectly. Looking forward to the display-referred vs scene-referred video.
