... raises a CRITICAL
gimp_item_{start,end}_move() currently serves two different
purposes: It is used by GimpLayer to suspend/resume mask resizing
of the layer's ancestors; this is necessary whenever an operation
on a layer might affect the size of its ancestors. It is also used
by GimpGroupLayer to suspend/resume its own mask resizing; this, on
the other hand, is only necessary before applying one of the
transformation functions to the group, so that mask modification is
handled by GimpLayer. In other words, the effects of
gimp_item_{start,end}_move() on group layers are only necessary in
a subset of the cases in which these functions are used.
While in itself this isn't a problem, it does cause issues when
removing a group layer: gimp_image_remove_layer() calls
gimp_item_start_move() before removing the layer, and
gimp_item_end_move() afterwards. While the former function is
called while the layer is still attached to the image, the latter
function is called after the layer is no longer attached. Since
GimpGroupLayer pushes an undo step in response to these calls, only
the call to start_move() results in an undo step, while the call to
end_move() doesn't, resulting in an unbalanced
GIMP_UNDO_GROUP_LAYER_START_MOVE undo step on the stack. This
causes problems when undoing the operation.
Add gimp_item_{start,end}_transform() functions, and corresponding
GimpItem::{start,end}_transform() virtual functions, which are more
specialized versions of gimp_item_{start,end}_move(), which should
be used instead of the former before/after transforming an item; in
other cases, such as when removing ot reordering an item,
gimp_item_{start,end}_move() should still be used. The default
implementation of GimpItem::{start,end}_transform() calls
gimp_item_{start,end}_move(), respectively, so subclasses that
override these functions don't have to do that themselves.
In GimpGroupLayer, override GimpItem::{start,end}_transform(),
instead of GimpItem::{start,end}_move(), for the same purpose of
suspending mask resize. This avoids these functions from being
called when removing a layer group, fixing the bug.
In gimp_image_reorder_item(), call gimp_item_start/end_move()
before/after reordering the item (and use an undo group, so that
the resulting undo actions are grouped together with the reordering
undo action,) so that if the item is a child of a group layer, and
reordering moves it out of the group in a way that causes the
group's mask to be resized, the mask will be properly restored when
undoing the operation.
In gimp_group_layer_{start,end}_move(), push corresponding undo
steps, which perform the opposite operation during undo, and make
sure that mask-cropping is frozen during group-layer move
operations.
This fixed erroneous group-layer mask cropping when undoing/redoing
a group-layer move operation multiple times.
Since a few commits, I don't generate the traces anymore in errors.c but
delay this to gui-message.c and rely on the message severity to decide
whether or not generating traces.
Unfortunately none of the current severities are properly describing
this new type of messages. Even GIMP_MESSAGE_ERROR is used everywhere in
our code NOT for actual programming bug, but often for data errors
(which are not bugs but proper messages and should obviously not prompt
a debug trace).
Replacing the boolean property "generate-backtrace" by an enum
"debug-policy". This property allows one to choose whether to debug
WARNING, CRITICAL and FATAL (crashes), or CRITICAL and FATAL only, or
only FATAL, or finally nothing.
By default, a stable release will debug CRITICAL and crashes, and
unstable builds will start debugging at WARNINGs.
The reason for the settings is that if you stumble upon a reccurring bug
in your workflow (and this bug is not major enough for data corruption,
and "you can live with it"), you still have to wait for a new release.
At some point, you may want to disable getting a debug dialog, at least
temporarily. Oppositely, even when using a stable build, you may want to
obtain debug info for lesser issues, even WARNINGs, if you wish to help
the GIMP project.
It can be argued though whether the value GIMP_DEBUG_POLICY_NEVER is
really useful. There is nothing to gain from refusing debugging info
when the software crashed anyway. But I could still imagine that someone
is not interested in helping at all. It's sad but not like we are going
to force people to report. Let's just allow disabling the whole
debugging system.
Add layer-mask support for group layers. Group-layer masks work
similarly to ordinary-layer masks, with the following
considerations:
The group's mask size is the same as group's size (i.e., the
bounding box of its children) at all times. When the group's size
changes, the mask is cropped to the new size -- areas of the mask
that fall outside of the new bounds are discarded and their data is
lost (sans undo), and newly added areas are filled with black (and
hence are transparent by default).
The new gimp_group_layer_{suspend,resume}_mask() functions can be
used to modify this behavior. Between the outermost pair of
suspend/resume calls, the old mask data is remembered, and is used
to fill the newly added areas while cropping the mask when the
group is resized. We override GimpItem::{start,end}_move() for
GimpLayer, to call these functions (suspend() in start_move(), and
resume() in end_move()) for each of the layer's ancestors.
As a result, while moving a layer, or a set of layers, atomically,
such as while dragging with the move tool, or moving linked layers,
the ancestors' mask data is not lost, and is only discarded at the
end of the operation.
This commit also takes care of properly handling undo for group-
layer mask crops, properly invalidating the image when the group
layer's mask is shown, and enabling the mask actions for group
layers (obviously :).
It never belonged inside "tools". Also rename its "pdb" subdirectory
to "groups". This had to happen before 2.10 so cherry-picking between
branches doesn't become a nightmare in the future.
The value descriptions of GimpGradientColor,
GimpGradientSegmentColor, and GimpGradientSegmentType enums appear
in the on-canvas gradient editor UI, as combo-box items in the tool
GUI overlay. Since we want to keep the overlay as small as
possible, we previously used abbreviations for these descriptions
(e.g., "FG (t)", instead of "Foreground (transparent)").
Replace the abbreviated descriptions with unabbreviated ones, and
move the abbreviations to the "abbrev" parameter. This way we get
the abbreviated version in the combo-box, and the full version in
the combo-box's menu.
Add "In Place" variants for all sorts of pasting:
- extend the GimpPasteType enum with IN_PLACE values
- add the needed actions and menu items
- merge the action callbacks into one, taking an enum value as parameter
- refactor the pasting code in gimp-edit.c into smaller functions
We probably have too menu items in the "Edit" menu now, needs to be
sorted out.
being exported to libgimp, and having a non-exported value, this is a
horrible mess like with GimpLayerMode, but at least the cruft value
names are deprecated now.
and to operations/layer-modes/, respectively.
Add gimp_layer_modes_init() which asserts on the correct order of the
GimpLayerModeInfo array, and switch to accessing the array directly in
gimp_layer_mode_info().
Similar to the Photoshop mode of the same name. Assigns
either 0 or 1 to each of the channels, depending on whether the
sum of source and destination channel values is less than, or
greater than (or equals to), one, respectively.
This is equivalent to inverting the source, and using it to perform
per-pixel, per-channel threshold against the destination, which is
useful for various effects.
These variations on darken only and lighten only have the advantage over the
componentvise versions that they always use the full triplet of either original
or new layer - meaning no new colors/hues will be introduced. This is similar
to how these modes operated/operates in picture publisher and photo-paint.
For operations needing to override default behavior sub-classes should still be
used.
This commit also enables pinligh, vividlight and linearlight blend mode modes
with proper value names. Mark most values as _BROKEN because they use
weird alpha compositing that has to die. Move GimpLayerModeEffects to
libgimpbase, deprecate it, and set it as compat enum for GimpLayerMode.
Add the GimpLayerModeEffects values as compat constants to script-fu
and pygimp.
Add property "color-tag" of type enum GimpColorTag to GimpItem so all
layers, channels and paths can be tagged with a color.
For interoperability, use the color list from Krita which is a
superset of Photoshop's colors.
Features a "Color Tag" submenu in the layers, channels and paths
menus, a row of color radio buttons in the properties dialogs,
undo and PDB API.
As a side effect, some common code is now factores out into
items-actions.[ch] and items-commands.[ch] which adds visible, linked
and lock actions for layers and channels.
Use the newly added clipboard for entire images to copy/paste layers
(we only create single-layer clipboard images, and use only the first
layer of any recieved image, the layers can be arbitrarily complex
though):
- change gimp_edit_copy,cut,paste() to return/take a GimpObject
that can be a GimpImage or GimpBuffer
- cut/copy the whole layer if there is no selection
- always paste layers as new layers, not floating selections
- always paste news layers on top of the active layer, where
we would attach a floating selection
- add enum GimpPasteType { FLOATING, FLOATING_INTO, NEW_LAYER }
- add GimpPasteType parameter to gimp_edit_paste() and handle all
three cases there because there is now a lot of common code
involved
- change all callers accordingly, use only legacy buffer pasting
from the PDB for now
