Having windows ID as guint32 is a mistake. Different systems have
different protocols. In Wayland in particular, Windows handles are
exchanged as strings. What this commit does is the following:
In core:
- get_window_id() virtual function in core GimpProgress is changed to
return a GBytes, as a generic "data" to represent a window differently
on different systems.
- All implementations of get_window_id() in various classes implementing
this interface are updated accordingly:
* GimpSubProgress
* GimpDisplay returns the handle of its shell.
* GimpDisplayShell now creates its window handle at construction with
libgimpwidget's gimp_widget_set_native_handle() and simply return
this handle every time it's requested.
* GimpFileDialog also creates its window handle at construction with
gimp_widget_set_native_handle().
- gimp_window_set_transient_for() in core is changed to take a
GimpProgress as argument (instead of a guint32 ID), requests and
process the ID itself, according to the running platform. In
particular, the following were improved:
* Unlike old code, it will work even if the window is not visible yet.
In such a case, the function simply adds a signal handler to set
transient at mapping. It makes it easier to use it at construction
in a reliable way.
* It now works for Wayland too, additionally to X11.
- GimpPdbProgress now exchanges a GBytes too with the command
GIMP_PROGRESS_COMMAND_GET_WINDOW.
- display_get_window_id() in gimp-gui.h also returns a GBytes now.
PDB/libgimp:
- gimp_display_get_window_handle() and gimp_progress_get_window_handle()
now return a GBytes to represent a window handle in an opaque way
(depending on the running platform).
In libgimp:
- GimpProgress's get_window() virtual function changed to return a
GBytes and renamed get_window_handle().
- In particular GimpProgressBar is the only implementation of
get_window_handle(). It creates its handle at object construction with
libgimpwidget's gimp_widget_set_native_handle() and the virtual
method's implementation simply returns the GBytes.
In libgimpUi:
- gimp_ui_get_display_window() and gimp_ui_get_progress_window() were
removed. We should not assume anymore that it is possible to create a
GdkWindow to be used. For instance this is not possible with Wayland
which has its own way to set a window transient with a string handle.
- gimp_window_set_transient_for_display() and
gimp_window_set_transient() now use an internal implementation similar
to core gimp_window_set_transient_for(), with the same improvements
(works even at construction when the window is not visible yet + works
for Wayland too).
In libgimpwidgets:
- New gimp_widget_set_native_handle() is a helper function used both in
core and libgimp* libraries for widgets which we want to be usable as
possible parents. It takes care of getting the relevant window handle
(depending on the running platform) and stores it in a given pointer,
either immediately or after a callback once the widget is mapped. So
it can be used at construction. Also it sets a handle for X11 or
Wayland.
In plug-ins:
- Screenshot uses the new gimp_progress_get_window_handle() directly now
in its X11 code path and creates out of it a GdkWindows itself with
gdk_x11_window_foreign_new_for_display().
Our inter-process transient implementation only worked for X11, and with
this commit, it works for Wayland too.
There is code for Windows but it is currently disabled as it apparently
hangs (there is a comment in-code which links to this old report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359538). NikcDC tested
yesterday with re-enabling the code and said they experienced a freeze.
;-(
Finally there is no infrastructure yet to make this work on macOS and
apparently there is no implementation of window handle in GDK for macOS
that I could find. I'm not sure if macOS doesn't have this concept of
setting transient on another processus's window or GDK is simply lacking
the implementation.
As diagnosed in #8649, using a guint32 for windows identifier may have been
right long ago (was it?), but is definitely not anymore. I can see that a XID is
an unsigned long nowadays (usually 64-bit on 64-bit Linux).
As far as I can see, on Windows, it would be a void* behind (which also
corresponds to the error message in #8649 description):
> typedef void *PVOID;
> typedef PVOID HANDLE;
> typedef HANDLE HWND;
Cf. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/windows-data-types
I *think* that pointers would be 64-bit on Windows 64-bit, though I'm unsure
(after all, this is an OS with 32-bit long int on 64-bit arch!).
Anyway, it's just better to move to 64-bit window identifiers.
GObject introspection has issues handling random vfuncs (i.e. not part
of a GObject). Most of all, it needs to be able to give these a name
(so they can be used to cast in some higher level languages for
example). As such, give each vfunc in `GimpProgressVtable` a separate
typedef.

* 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
the ImageMap plugin.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=27913

* tools/pdbgen/pdb/progress.pdb
* libgimp/gimpprogress.[ch]: applied slightly modified patch from
Stephane Chauveau. Wraps the gimp_progress_update() PDB call so
that redundant progress updates are suppressed in libgimp. This
gives a noticeable speedup for all plug-ins that update the
progress too often (bug #331470).
* libgimp/gimpprogress_pdb.[ch]: regenerated.
2005-09-29 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* tools/pdbgen/pdb/progress.pdb: removed the "wrap" from
gimp_progress_set_text() so it shows up as libgimp function again.
* libgimp/gimpprogress_pdb.[ch]: regenerated.
* libgimp/gimpprogress.[ch]: changed the old
gimp_progress_set_text() to gimp_progress_set_text_printf() and
added gimp_progress_init_printf(). (did this because the method of
calling init(NULL) followed by set_text("foo") caused popup
progress windows to be resized after they were shown).
* libgimp/gimp.def: changed accordingly.
* plug-ins/*/*.c: use gimp_progress_init_printf() instead of
init(NULL) plus set_text(foo) and changed users of set_text() to
use set_text_printf().

Added parent window API to the GimpProgress interface and to
the libgimp progress stuff. Might look strange, but does
the right thing in almost all cases (image window, file dialog,
script-fu dialog etc). Fixes bug #62988.
* app/core/gimpprogress.[ch]: added GimpProgress::get_window()
which should return a toplevel window ID if the progress is in a
window that wants to be the transient parent of plug-in dialogs.
* app/widgets/gimpwidgets-utils.[ch] (gimp_window_get_native): new
function which returns the window handle of a GtkWindow's GdkWindow.
* app/widgets/gimpfiledialog.c: implement ::get_window().
* app/display/gimpdisplay.[ch]: ditto. Removed window handle API.
* app/gui/gui-vtable.c: changed accordingly.
* libgimpbase/gimpbaseenums.[ch] (enum GimpProgressCommand):
added GIMP_PROGRESS_COMMAND_GET_WINDOW.
* app/plug-in/plug-in-progress.[ch] (plug_in_progress_get_window):
new function. Also renamed some functions to match the
GimpProgress interface, and not the legacy PDB procedure names.
* tools/pdbgen/pdb/progress.pdb
* app/core/gimppdbprogress.c: implement get_window() on both
sides of the wire, keeping backward compatibility (hopefully).
* libgimp/gimpprogress.[ch]: deprecated gimp_progress_install()
and added gimp_progress_install_vtable() which takes a vtable with
padding to be extensible. Added get_window() vtable entry and
dispatch it accordingly. Also added pulse() which was implemented
in a hackish way before. Everything is of course backward
compatible.
* libgimp/gimpprogressbar.c: inmplement the get_window() stuff
so a plug-in dialog containing a progress can be the transient
parent of another dialog in another plug-in.
* libgimp/gimpui.[ch] (gimp_ui_get_progress_window): new function
which returns a foreign GdkWindow of this plug-ins progress
window.
Renamed gimp_window_set_transient_for_default_display() to
gimp_window_set_transient() and make it use the progress' window
handle instead of the display's (which is the right thing to do in
almost all cases).
* libgimp/gimp.def
* libgimp/gimpui.def: add the new functions.
* tools/pdbgen/enums.pl
* app/pdb/internal_procs.c
* app/pdb/progress_cmds.c
* libgimp/gimpprogress_pdb.[ch]: regenerated.
* libgimp/gimpexport.c
* plug-ins/*/*.c: follow API change.
2005-02-13 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* app/core/gimpprogress.c (gimp_progress_start): accept an empty
string.
* app/plug-in/plug-in-progress.c: if NULL is passed as message to
plug_in_progress_start(), set an empty string on the progress.
* tools/pdbgen/pdb/progress.pdb:
* libgimp/gimpprogress.[ch]: wrap the new gimp_progress_set_text()
PDP function with a function that accepts printf-like arguments.
* libgimp/gimpprogress_pdb.[ch]: regenerated.
* lots of plug-ins, most of them file plug-ins:
use gimp_progress_init(NULL) followed by gimp_progress_set_text()
to initialize the progress using the new API instead of constructing
a temporary string.
2004-08-29 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
Added an API to allow plug-ins to embed the progress for the
actions they trigger into their own GUI (attention: half-done and
broken code ahead...)
* app/core/Makefile.am
* app/core/core-types.h
* app/core/gimppdbprogress.[ch]: new object implementing dispatching
progress calls to a temporary PDB procedure in a plug-in.
* app/Makefile.am: force to link gimppdbprogress.o, bah!
* app/plug-in/plug-in-progress.[ch]: added API to install,
uninstall and cancel a PDB progress for this plug-in, but disabled
the implementation because it doesn't work yet.
* tools/pdbgen/pdb/progress.pdb: added pdb wrappers for the new
install, uninstall and cancel functions.
* libgimp/Makefile.am
* libgimp/gimp.h
* libgimp/gimpprogress.[ch]: added an API around the PDB progress
stuff.
* app/pdb/internal_procs.c
* app/pdb/progress_cmds.c
* libgimp/gimpprogress_pdb.[ch]: regenerated.
* plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu-scripts.c: use the new API to show
the progress in the script-fu dialog.
