I've made the download and home page of gimp-web as generic as possible
so that one will just have to update GIMP_VERSIONS in order to release a
new version. In particular, no boring editing of hardcoded versions in
html pages anymore.
Also adding an item to update the authors page as well (which is
generated so it's just a matter of moving a file).
The GNU coding standards rules can be found in:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FormattingCodeForGCC
I added a few rules, like if the file has existing tabs, we want to show
them as 8 columns. Yet typing tabs automatically expands to 2 spaces.
I also added a rule to highlight (in red) trailing whitespaces, but also
tabs (everywhere, not only trailing) making them easy to spot.
This file can be easily sourced from vimrc for the whole GIMP tree, but
I advise against setting VIM to automatic discover a locale .vimrc,
which is possible but a high security risk since a third-party vimrc
could contain random shell commands.
This explains a little better why some systems (i.e. GNOME…) would show
no icons in menus whereas other (i.e. Linux Mint, Windows…) would show
them. GIMP_ICONS_LIKE_A_BOSS environment variable is a developer trick
to show icons in menus anyway to see how things render on such systems.
Its API was too limited, and adding parameters for what we need next
would be equally random. It's a rarely used and mostly internal
widget, so simply use g_object_new().
The code refactoring allows better readability which will allow in turn
to add more complex specific features making good use of the save/export
split concept.
gimp_color_config_get_foo_profile() -> get_foo_color_profile()
because the old names clash with possible future accessors for the raw
filename properties.
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's OVERLAY mode was identical to SOFTLIGHT. This commit fixes the
issue and introduces a NEW_OVERLAY mode and enum value.
- change gimp:overlay-mode to be a real (svg-ish) overlay mode
- when compositing, map OVERLAY to gimp:softlight-mode
- when compisiting, map NEW_OVERLAY to gimp:overlay-mode
- bump the XCF version when NEW_OVERLAY is used
- map OVERLAY to SOFTLIGHT when loading and saving XCF
- map OVERLAY to softlight in all PDB setters
- map OVERLAY to softlight when deserializing a GimpContext
- change all paint mode menus to show an entry for NEW_OVERLAY
instead of OVERLAY
- change PSP, PSD and OpenRaster to use NEW_OVERLAY
These changes should (redundantly) make sure that no OVERLAY enum
value is used in the core any longer because it gets mapped to
SOFTLIGHT at all entry points, with the downside of introducing a
setter/getter asymmetry when OVERLAY was set in a PDB api.
