Move swap/cache and temporary files out the GIMP user config dir:
libgimpbase: add gimp_cache_directory() and gimp_temp_directory()
which return the new default values inside XDG_CACHE_HOME and the
system temp directory. Like all directories from gimpenv.[ch] the
values can be overridden by environment variables. Improve API docs
for all functions returning directories.
Add new config file substitutions ${gimp_cache_dir} and
${gimp_temp_dir}.
Document all the new stuff in the gimp and gimprc manpages.
app: default "swap-path" and "temp-path" to the new config file
substitutions. On startup and config changes, make sure that the swap
and temp directories actually exist.
In the preferences dialog, add reset buttons to all file path pages.
Let's make our various usages of this broken function more robust, or at
least return with errors when we can. But this is still seriously
broken. Inside gimp_locale_directory() though, there was nothing I could
do, so I just added a FIXME for at least keeping an eye on it.
...resources to be loaded and shown multiple times
Change gimp_path_parse() to filter out duplicate paths. This is the
function at the bottom which is used by everything else, so should
generically catch all duplicates.
Since we have many themes now, this new name better indicates that it
is meant to follow your desktop theme settings.
Also it will likely not remain the default theme.
because it confuses gtk-doc and breaks some links. Also change the
"Index of new symbols in GIMP 2.x" sections to be what seems to be the
modern standard (looked at the GLib and GTK+ docs), and update some
other stuff.
gimp_directory_file(), gimp_data_directory_file() etc. The new
functions take a variable list of path elements to the file,
the list has to be NULL-terminated. Remove the newly added
gimp_personal_rc_gfile(). Start using the new functions in app/.
by removing all but the toplevel prefix getter from gimpreloc.c It was
1) confusing 2) sometimes trying to subsitute the runtime prefix twice
and 3) sometimes ignoring configure-given directories within the
configure-prefix. This should all be fixed now, and done in one less
place.
I used SHGetFolderLocation, deprecated, which I thought was a better idea than
SHGetSpecialFolderLocation, deprecated as well, but also unsupported. But it
apparently won't compile on XP. Reverts back to glib exact copy.
New configuration directory scheme, consistent across platforms, and
following standards.
UNIX platforms (except OSX): $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/{GIMP_APP_VERSION}
Windows: %APPDATA%/GIMP/{GIMP_APP_VERSION}
OSX: NSApplicationSupportDirectory/GIMP/{GIMP_APP_VERSION}
gimpdir goes to ~/Library/Gimp/x.y
thumbnails go to ~/Library/Caches/org.freedesktop.thumbnails
The thumbnail location is not standardized yet, but is the only
location that makes sense. Also fix user install to search old
gimpdirs to migrate in both Library and the classic location.
Remove the obsolete CABON_CFLAGS from all makefiles.
In order to be able to change GIMP2_DIRECTORY during run-time, check
for changes to GIMP2_DIRECTORY in gimp_directory().
This is typically useful in test case where you could read from one
GIMP2_DIRECTORY at start-up and then write to a different
GIMP2_DIRECTORY at shut down.
The documentation for this function does not suggest that the value is
cached and thus the old behavior can be considered a bug. It is hard
to imagine why anyone would change GIMP2_DIRECTORY at run-time in a
script for example and *not* expect gimp_directory() to return the
updated gimp_dir.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).
Cleaned up some copyright headers and regenerated the parsers in

* libgimpbase/gimpenv.c (gimp_locale_directory) [Win32]: Use
g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8() instead of duplicating its
code.

* libgimpbase/gimpenv.c (gimp_toplevel_directory) [Win32]: Use the
location of the libgimpbase DLL and not that of the main
executable (which will be the Python interpreter in the case of
python-fu) to determine the top-level GIMP installation
folder. (#502506)
(gimp_locale_directory) [Win32]: Guard against the possibility
that we can't get the system codepage form of the locale
directory, in case the installation folder contains characters not
in the system codepage. In that case use the short name instead.

Added support for binary relocation by means of binreloc, largely
based on a patch by Hongli Lai:
* m4macros/Makefile.am
* m4macros/binreloc.m4: new file providing a macro to check for
binreloc support.
* acinclude.m4
* configure.in: use the macro.
* libgimpbase/Makefile.am
* libgimpbase/gimpreloc.[ch]: new files providing binreloc support
on Linux.
* libgimpbase/gimpenv.[ch]: use binreloc, provide a function to
initialize the environment machinery.
* libgimpbase/gimpbase.def: updated.
* app/Makefile.am: fiddle with the LDFLAGS for binreloc.
* app/main.c (main): gimp_env_init(FALSE).
* libgimp/gimp.c (gimp_main): gimp_env_init(TRUE).
