Orientation is now handled by core code, just next to profile conversion
handling.
One of the first consequence is that we don't need to have a non-GUI
version gimp_image_metadata_load_finish_batch() in libgimp, next to a
GUI version of the gimp_image_metadata_load_finish() function in
libgimpui. This makes for simpler API.
Also a plug-in which wishes to get access to the rotation dialog
provided by GIMP without loading ligimpui/GTK+ (for whatever reason)
will still have the feature.
The main advantage is that the "Don't ask me again" feature is now
handled by a settings in `Preferences > Image Import & Export` as the
"Metadata rotation policy". Until now it was saved as a global parasite,
which made it virtually non-editable once you checked it once (no easy
way to edit parasites except by scripts). So say you refused the
rotation once while checking "Don't ask again", and GIMP will forever
discard the rotation metadata without giving you a sane way to change
your mind. Of course, I could have passed the settings to plug-ins
through the PDB, but I find it a lot better to simply handle such
settings core-side.
The dialog code is basically the same as an app/dialogs/ as it was in
libgimp, with the minor improvement that it now takes the scale ratio
into account (basically the maximum thumbnail size will be bigger on
higher density displays).
Only downside of the move to the core is that this rotation dialog is
raised only when you open an image from the core, not as a PDB call. So
a plug-in which makes say a "file-jpeg-load" PDB call, even in
INTERACTIVE run mode, won't have rotation processed. Note that this was
already the same for embedded color profile conversion. This can be
wanted or not. Anyway some additional libgimp calls might be of interest
to explicitly call the core dialogs.
In file_open_image(), mount non-native files *before* looking up a
file-proc. Previously, we'd only mount the file after the initial
lookup, and fail to perform a second lookup if the mount succeeded,
leaving us with a NULL file-proc and a subsequent segfault.
Additionally, simplify the rest of the remote-file code-path.
Multi selection actually only really matter when "Merge within active
groups only" option is checked, in which case we are able to merge
layers within several layer groups simultaneously, and end up with
multi-selected merged layers.
Also not sure why both layers-merge-layers and image-merge-layers exist,
as they are exactly the same (exact same callback called when
activated).
This commit just changes our saving API (i.e. the GimpSaveProcedure
class) to take an array of drawables as argument instead of a single
drawable.
It actually doesn't matter much for exporting as the whole API seems
more or less bogus there and all formats plug-ins mostly care only
whether they will merge/flatten all visible layers (the selected ones
don't really matter) or if the format supports layers of some sort. It
may be worth later strengthening a bit this whole logics, and maybe
allow partial exports for instance.
As for saving, it was not even looking at the passed GimpDrawable either
and was simply re-querying the active layer anyway.
Note that I don't implement the multi-selection saving in XCF yet in
this commit. I only updated the API. The reason is that the current
commit won't be backportable to gimp-2-10 because it is an API break. On
the other hand, the code to save multi-selection can still be backported
even though the save() API will only pass a single drawable (as I said
anyway, this argument was mostly bogus until now, hence it doesn't
matter much for 2.10 logics).
and in an attack of madness, changes almost all file plug-in
code to use GFile instead of filenames, which means passing
the GFile down to the bottom and get its filename at the very
end where it's actually needed.
It's an ancient concept from ancient times when we didn't have URIs
and only filenames (not to speak of GFile), and actually even from
before the ancient time before that ancient time when we first had
ones and zeros, and only had zeros.
... which invalidates the entire image. This replaces all calls to
gimp_image_invalidate() with the full canvas size, since the image
content can now be larger than the canvas.
GimpDisplay contains only the ID logic and the "gimp" and "config"
pointers, and lives in the core.
GimpDisplayImpl is a subclass and contains all the actual display
stuff. The subclass is only an implementation detail and doesn't
appear in any API.
Remove all hacks which pass displays as gpointer, GObject or
GimpObject through the core, or even lookup its type by name,
just use GimpDisplay.
Turn all ID param specs into object param specs (e.g. GimpParamImageID
becomes GimpParamImage) and convert between IDs and objects in
gimpgpparams.c directly above the the wire protocol, so all of app/,
libgimp/ and plug-ins/ can deal directly with objects down to the
lowest level and not care about IDs.
Use the actual object param specs for procedure arguments and return
values again instead of a plain g_param_spec_object() and bring back
the none_ok parameter.
This implies changing the PDB type checking functions to work on pure
integers instead of IDs (one can't check whether object creation is
possible if performing that check requires the object to already
exist).
For example gimp_foo_is_valid() becomes gimp_foo_id_is_valid() and is
not involved in automatic object creation magic at the protocol
level. Added wrappers which still say gimp_foo_is_valid() and take the
respective objects.
Adapted all code, and it all becomes nicer and less convoluted, even
the generated PDB wrappers in app/ and libgimp/.
And always pass URIs to all file procedures, the ones what didn't
register as "handles remove" will only ever get local file:// URIs.
Change all file plug-ins (also legacy ones) to expect URIs instead
of filenames, and convert to local paths in the plug-in.
The wire protocol should now be almost 100% clean of non-UTF-8 strings.
- Change the wire protocol's GPProcInstall to transmit the entire
information needed for constructing all GParamSpecs we use, don't
use GimpPDBArgType in GPProcInstall but an enum private to the wire
protocol plus the GParamSpec's GType name. Bump the wire protocol
version.
- Add gimpgpparamspecs.[ch] in both app/plug-in/ and libgimp/ which
take care of converting between GPParamDef and GParamSpec. They
share code as far as possible.
- Change pluginrc writing and parsing to re-use GPParamDef and the
utility functions from gimpgpparamspecs.
- Remove gimp_pdb_compat_param_spec() from app/pdb/gimp-pdb-compat.[ch],
the entire core uses proper GParamSpecs from the wire protocol now,
the whole file will follow down the drain once we use a GValue
representation on the wire too.
- In gimp_plug_in_handle_proc_install(), change the "run-mode"
parameter to a GParamSpecEnum(GIMP_TYPE_RUN_MODE) (if it is not
already an enum). and change all places in app/ to treat it as an
enum value.
- plug-ins: fix cml-explorer to register correctly, a typo in
"run-mode" was never noticed until now.
- Add gimpgpcompat.[ch] in libgimp to deal with all the transforms
between old-style wire communication and using GParamSpec and
GValue, it contains some functions that are subject to change or
even removal in the next steps.
- Change the libgimp GimpProcedure and GimpPlugIn in many ways to be
able to actually install procedures the new way.
- plug-ins: change goat-exercise to completely use the new GimpPlugIn
and GimpProcedure API, look here to see how plug-ins will look in
the future, of course subject to change until this is finished.
- Next: changing GPParam to transmit all information about a GValue.
When the remote volume can't be mounted by GIO, continue as if the
file procedure couldn't handle URIs and try downloading/uploading the
file manually.
This is useful to be able to support file formats other than image
formats. In particular I will use this in the next commit to support a
"GIMP extension" format. When GIMP will open such file, it will
install an extension (not open an image on canvas).
This is an internal flag only, i.e. only usable from core GIMP. File
formats which a plug-in can register are still only image file formats.
In gimp_image_merge_layers() -- the internal function used by the
various layer-merging/flattenning functions -- process the merged-
layer graph in chunks, using gimp_gegl_apply_operation(), instead
of in one go, using gegl_node_blit_buffer(). Processing in chunks
better utilizes the cache, since it reduces the size of
intermediate buffers, reducing the chances of hitting the swap when
merging large images (see, for example, issue #3012.)
Additionally, this allows us to show progress indication. Have the
relevant gimpimage-merge functions take a GimpProgress, and pass it
down to gimp_image_merge_layers(). Adapt all callers.
file_save(): make sure we always set an error on failure
file_save_dialog_save_image(): additionally, check that "error" exists
before dereferencing it.
... the XCF file
Add a "saving" signal to GimpImage, which is emitted when the image
is about to be saved or exported (but before it's actually saved/
exported). Connect to this signal in tool-manager, and commit the
current tool in response (unless its GimpToolControl::preserve is
TRUE).
All babl formats now have a space equivalent to a color profile,
determining the format's primaries and TRCs. This commit makes GIMP
aware of this.
libgimp:
- enum GimpPrecision: rename GAMMA values to NON_LINEAR and keep GAMMA
as deprecated aliases, add PERCEPTUAL values so we now have LINEAR,
NON_LINEAR and PERCPTUAL for each encoding, matching the babl
encoding variants RGB, R'G'B' and R~G~B~.
- gimp_color_transform_can_gegl_copy() now returns TRUE if both
profiles can return a babl space, increasing the amount of fast babl
color conversions significantly.
- TODO: no solution yet for getting libgimp drawable proxy buffers in
the right format with space.
plug-ins:
- follow the GimpPrecision change.
- TODO: everything else unchanged and partly broken or sub-optimal,
like setting a new image's color profile too late.
app:
- add enum GimpTRCType { LINEAR, NON_LINEAR, PERCEPTUAL } as
replacement for all "linear" booleans.
- change gimp-babl functions to take babl spaces and GimpTRCType
parameters and support all sorts of new perceptual ~ formats.
- a lot of places changed in the early days of goat invasion didn't
take advantage of gimp-babl utility functions and constructed
formats manually. They all needed revisiting and many now use much
simpler code calling gimp-babl API.
- change gimp_babl_format_get_color_profile() to really extract a
newly allocated color profile from the format, and add
gimp_babl_get_builtin_color_profile() which does the same as
gimp_babl_format_get_color_profile() did before. Visited all callers
to decide whether they are looking for the format's actual profile,
or for one of the builtin profiles, simplifying code that only needs
builtin profiles.
- drawables have a new get_space_api(), get_linear() is now get_trc().
- images now have a "layer space" and an API to get it,
gimp_image_get_layer_format() returns formats in that space.
- an image's layer space is created from the image's color profile,
change gimpimage-color-profile to deal with that correctly
- change many babl_format() calls to babl_format_with_space() and take
the space from passed formats or drawables
- add function gimp_layer_fix_format_space() which replaces the
layer's buffer with one that has the image's layer format, but
doesn't change pixel values
- use gimp_layer_fix_format_space() to make sure layers loaded from
XCF and created by plug-ins have the right space when added to the
image, because it's impossible to always assign the right space upon
layer creation
- "assign color profile" and "discard color profile" now require use
of gimp_layer_fix_format_space() too because the profile is now
embedded in all formats via the space. Add
gimp_image_assign_color_profile() which does all that and call it
instead of a simple gimp_image_set_color_profile(), also from the
PDB set-color-profile functions, which are essentially "assign" and
"discard" calls.
- generally, make sure a new image's color profile is set before
adding layers to it, gimp_image_set_color_profile() is more than
before considered know-what-you-are-doing API.
- take special precaution in all places that call
gimp_drawable_convert_type(), we now must pass a new_profile from
all callers that convert layers within the same image (such as
image_convert_type, image_convert_precision), because the layer's
new space can't be determined from the image's layer format during
the call.
- change all "linear" properties to "trc", in all config objects like
for levels and curves, in the histogram, in the widgets. This results
in some GUI that now has three choices instead of two.
TODO: we might want to reduce that back to two later.
- keep "linear" boolean properties around as compat if needed for file
pasring, but always convert the parsed parsed boolean to
GimpTRCType.
- TODO: the image's "enable color management" switch is currently
broken, will fix that in another commit.
which is just a #define to g_assert for now, but can now easily be
turned into something that does some nicer debugging using our new
stack trace infrastructure. This commit also reverts all constructed()
functions to use assert again.
...after exporting the image
Call gimp_image_name_changed() in both gimp_image_clean_all() and
gimp_image_export_clean_all() so we clear the cached displayed URI in
all cases, even if this means we're emitting "name-changed"
redundantly some times.
Optionally convert all imported (not XCFs) images to 32 bit linear
floating point, and optionally add a little noise in order to
distribute the colors minimally. The new options are on a new "Image
Import & Export" prefs page that needs a new icon. Original dithering
patch by pippin.
This got lost when dropping the file-uri plug-in and switching to
interal download using GIO. The file-uri plug-in would just download
whatever remote thing and open it locally, using local magic matching.
We now do the same internally and try the magic matching again on the
downloaded file.
do not access progress object after destruction.
silence warnings like:
(gimp-2.8:1): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2635: instance '0x17083f0' has no handler with id '56146'
(gimp-2.8:1): Gimp-Plug-In-CRITICAL **: plug_in_icc_profile_apply_rgb: assertion 'progress == NULL || GIMP_IS_PROGRESS (progress)' failed
They are unreliable because every type checking cast discards them,
they are useless anyway, visual clutter, added inconsistently, and
generally suck. Wanted to do this a long time ago, it was a bad idea
in the first place.
file-procedure.[ch] is gone and its functions moved to
GimpPlugInManager where they belong (the manager keeps around the
lists of load, save and export procedures).
Utility functions from file-utils.[ch] that have nothing to do with
image files moved to core/gimp-utils.[ch].
...being displayed
Need to call gimp_image_flush() on all newly opened images so whatever
image states are properly updated:
Call file_open_sanitize_image() at the end of loading (after profile
import), and re-enable the flush() call in the function.
Also, don't fiddle with undo disabling and enabling in
gimp_image_import_color_profile(). Instead, disable undo before
calling the function.
Add gimp_image_import_color_profile(), a GUI vtable entry
query_profile_policy() and a new dialog which returns the profile
policy and the profile to convert to. Get rid of the wrapper that
calls the lcms plug-in for that dialog, the plug-in is now completely
unused.
This commit doesn't add any new features, it's just the former lcms
plug-in dialog implemented in app/ (except the little fix that it is
now aware of linear vs. gamma images).
