- Fix annotations for gimp_export_options_get_image() to make it
actually introspectable with the GimpImage being both input and
output. Even though the logic doesn't change much (the input image may
be overriden or not), it doesn't matter for introspection because
images are handled centrally by libgimp and therefore must not be
freed. Actually deleting the image from the central list of images
though remains a manual action depending on code logic, not some
automatic action to be handled by binding engines.
- Add G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to gimp_export_options_get_image()
because ignoring the returned value is rarely a good idea (as you
usually want to delete the image).
- Remove gimp_export_options_new(): we don't need this constructor
because at this point, the best is to tell plug-in developers to just
pass NULL everywhere. This leaves us free to create a more useful
default constructor if needed, in the future. Main description for
GimpExportOptions has also been updated to say this.
- Add a data_destroy callback for the user data passed in
gimp_export_procedure_set_capabilities().
- Fixing annotations of 'export_options' object from pdb/pdb.pl: input
args would actually be (nullable) and would not transfer ownership
(calling code must still free the object). Return value's ownership on
the other hand is fully transfered.
- Add C and Python unit testing for GimpExportOptions and
gimp_export_options_get_image() in particular.
- Fix or improve various details.
Note that I have also considered for a long time changing the signature
of gimp_export_options_get_image() to return a boolean indicating
whether `image` had been replaced (hence needed deletion) or not. This
also meant getting rid of the GimpExportReturn enum. Right now it would
work because there are no third case, but I was considering the future
possibility that for instance we got some impossible conversion for some
future capability. I'm not sure it would ever happen; and for sure, this
is not desirable because it implies an export failure a bit late in the
workflow. But just in case, let's keep the enum return value. It does
not even make the using code that much more complicated (well just a
value comparison instead of a simple boolean test).
This patch creates a GimpExportOptions class in both
libgimpbase and in libgimp. Currently it is a mostly empty
object, but it will be added to after 3.0 to allow for
additional export options (like resizing on export while
leaving the original image intact)
libgimp/gimpexport.c was removed, and most of its content
was copied into libgimp/gimpexportoptions.c. gimp_export_image ()
was replaced with gimp_export_options_get_image () in all
export plug-ins.
GimpExportProcedure has a new function to set the default
image capabilities for each plug-in on creation. It also sets up
a new callback function, which allows the options to respond to
user setting changes (such as toggling 'Save as Animation' in the
GIF or WEBP Plug-in).
...in non-interactive cases.
gimp_export_image () handles various
tasks like rasterizing NDE filters. It only
runs in interactive cases however, so if the
users calls gimp-file-save the filters are
not exported.
Since Jehan removed the hidden dialogue
in 0dc9ff7c, we can now safely call
gimp_export_image () in all cases to make
image export more consistent. This step is
also preparation for setting up the new
API with GimpExportOptions.
Port all plug-ins to retrieve the layers
directly from the image rather than
having them passed in. This resolves some
issues with introspection and sets the
foundation for future API work.
Resolves#10932
Since GIMP distinguishes between saving
XCF and exporting image like PNG,
we should change the PDB to show
export rather than save in the function
calls.
If we leave a space between the macro name and opening parenthese for argument
lists, the args are not considered macro args (which will be discovered when
using it). I experienced this issue while testing code on some plug-in
yesterday, so thought I might as well fix all these broken macros for casting to
the specific GimpPlugIn subclass, so that we won't have a next time.
