Research direction

Start by examining the existing DT_SIGNAL_PRESET_APPLIED event and how Lua scripts receive events; the issue names no files or tests. Clarify whether styles and presets need separate notifications, then establish the event behavior and Lua exposure required for the proposed post-application actions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am thinking about a way to trigger some actions after a style has been applied., Typical examples would be:

  • rotate and perspective: analyze line structure and correct
  • AgX: auto tune levels
  • Filmic: Auto tune levels
  • ...

My current idea is to execute a Lua script after a style (or maybe preset) has been applied. However, to my knowledge this would need a new event. There is already an event DT_SIGNAL_PRESET_APPLIED, but it is not exposed to Lua scripts. I could not find any similar event for styles.
