Add a gimp-register-file-handler-priority procedure, which can be
used to set the priority of a file-handler procedure. When more
than one file-handler procedure matches a file, the procedure with
the lowest priority is used; if more than one procedure has the
lowest priority, it is unspecified which one of them is used. The
default priority of file-handler procedures is 0.
Add the necessary plumbing (plus some fixes) to the plug-in manager
to handle file-handler priorities. In particular, use two
different lists for each type of file-handler procedures: one meant
for searching, and is sorted according to priority, and one meant
for display, and is sorted alphabetically.
...upon exporting an image
Step 1: make it configurable just like "Export EXIF" etc.
app, libgimp: add "export-color-profile" config option
Add it to the preferences dialog, and pass it on to plug-ins in the
GPConfig message. Add gimp_export_color_profile() to libgimp.
Nothing uses this yet.
Also remove all traces of it from the plug-in protocol and raise the
protocol version to 0x0100 (we now allow features and therefore
version bumps in stable, and the master protocol version should always
be higher). Fix the code that aborts plug-in startup on protocol
version mismatch, we can't use gimp_message() because we have no
protocol.
Pass the current icon theme directory to plug-ins through the
config message, and add a gimp_icon_theme_dir() libgimp function
for retrieving it. Note that we already have a similar
gimp_icon_get_theme_dir() PDB function, which we keep around, since
it can be used to dynamically query for the current icon dir,
unlike the former, and since it returns a dynamically-allocated
string, while the rest of the config-related functions return
statically allocated strings.
Use the new function, instead of gimp_get_icon_theme_dir(), in
gimp_ui_init(). This allows gimp_ui_init() to run without making
any PDB calls. Consequently, this allows us to start plug-ins that
call gimp_ui_init() without entering the main loop in the main app.
We're going to add a plug-in that displays an interactive dialog
while the main app is blocking waiting for an operation to
complete, and we need to be able to start the plug-in without
entering the main loop, to avoid the possibility of arbitrary code
being executed during the wait.
Bump the protocol version.
These procedures freeze/thaw the corresponding containers of the
image, allowing plug-ins that perform many changes affecting any of
these containers to suppress updates to the corresponding dialogs,
significantly improving performance.
We were only able to translate selections and layers (bot not channels
and paths) via the PDB, this new procedure fixes that. Deprecation of
old API and some more transform consistency to follow...
Add new PDB group "drawable_edit" which has all procedures from the
"edit" group which are not cut/copy/paste.
The new group's procedures don't have opacity, paint_mode
etc. arguments but take them from the context instead. Unlike the old
gimp-edit-fill, gimp-drawable-edit-fill now uses the context's opacity
and paint_mode.
The new gimp-drawable-edit-gradient-fill procedure uses even more
context properties which are also newly added with this commit
(gradient_color_space, gradient_repeat_mode, gradient_reverse).
And some cleanup in context.pdb.
This is still WIP, nothing in the edit group is depcreated yet.
This property is currently only used for gimp_edit_blend() to control
how are computed distances. In the future, it could be used for more
functions making use of "gegl:distance-transform" operation, or even for
other algorithms, if relevant.
This new property obviously comes with 2 new PDB calls:
gimp_context_get_distance_metric() & gimp_context_set_distance_metric()
... procedure call.
This is needed for plug-ins which depends on other plug-in's procedures.
If for instance, the second-level plug-in is interrupted interactively,
we don't want to process this as an error but as a cancellation.
Therefore we need to know the returned value of the plug-in. Currently
only way was to use gimp_get_pdb_error() but that was returning a
human-readable error, not a computer-processable error.
Remove the invert-linear and invert-non-linear variants and simply add
"gboolean linear" to gimp-drawable-invert. This should actually be an
enum but I didn't find a good name right now...
and add gimp_drawable_invert_linear(). Also, finally deprecate
gimp_invert() and port all its uses in plug-ins and scripts to
gimp_drawable_invert_non_linear() so the result is the same.
...in both the core and libgimp.
Images now know what the default mode for new layers is:
- NORMAL for empty images
- NORMAL for images with any non-legacy layer
- NORMAL_LEGAVY for images with only legacy layers
This changes behavior when layers are created from the UI, but *also*
when created by plug-ins (yes there is a compat issue here):
- Most (all?) single-layer file importers now create NORMAL layers
- Screenshot, Webpage etc also create NORMAL layers
Scripts that create images from scratch (logos etc) should not be
affected because they usually have NORMAL_LEGACY hardcoded.
3rd party plug-ins and scripts will also behave old-style unless they
get ported to gimp_image_get_default_new_layer_mode().
Add "import-raw-plug-in" to gimprc, and a new procedure
gimp_register_file_handler_raw(). On startup, remove all load
procedures that are marked as "handles raw" but are not implemented by
the configured plug-in. Add the list of available plug-ins to prefs ->
import/export. Register all file-darktable procedures as handling raw.
Largely based on a patch by Ell, with the enum type renamed and
various small changes. Adds another axis of configurability to the
existing layer mode madness, and is WIP too.
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.
Add PDB sample point API similar to how the guide API works. Add core
API similar to the core guide API to make guide and sample point APIs
as similar as possible.
Add new PDB procedures gimp-context-get/set-stroke-method and honor
the new setting in gimp-edit-stroke and gimp-edit-stroke-vectors.
Internally, keep a GimpStrokeOptions around in GimpPDBContext to keep
track of the newly added PDB state, and use it for the stroke
operations instead of creating a scratch GimpStrokeOptions.
Which will have proper API to deal with an image's color profile (no
parasites, no ICC blobs). So far contains gimp_image_get_color_profile()
and gimp_image_set_color_profile().
It makes little sense to keep them in one header and parse them with a
pile of perl, just to generate them in another header. Simply keep
them in a place everybody depends on.
