rotation and perspective" module not compatible with "retouching". about darktable HOT 4 OPEN

you can achieve the desired result by moving r&p to just below retouch and then moving retouch down.

If I correctly understand you then have :

• ...
• exposure
• rotate and perspective
• retouch
• orientation
• chromatic abberations
• ...

but this will no longer work if you change a parameter in "orientation". The longer I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that there is no "correct" module order in this case. The "cleanest" solution is to turn off automatic cropping in "rotate and perspective" and cropping with "crop" module, leaving the module order at default for RAW input.

That's expected behavior when r&p is before retouch in the pipeline - the cropped-away data doesn't get sent down the pipeline, so retouch can't see it. That's why the crop module comes after r&p by default, so that the data it crops away is available to retouch.

If you need some of the cropped-away area as source material in retouch, you can either turn off automatic cropping and manually crop, or use Ctrl-Shift-Drag to move r&p above retouch.

I've tried moving R&P above "retouching" but it's not accepted.

Hmm, interesting. Can reproduce, but you can move retouch down. That puts it before orientation, which might not be desirable, in which case you can achieve the desired result by moving r&p to just below retouch and then moving retouch down.

There are some "fences" preventing modules from being moved to places where they can't work, e.g. most modules before demosaic can't move after because there are different kinds of data in the pipe before/after demosaic. Presumably the one for retouch needs adjusting.
