Commit 8025962a20 was meant to make the icon code work on relocatable
builds, yet I realize that the gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() calls were
still using the DATAROOTDIR build-time macro. I had forgotten to update
these.
Also update a bit the error handling by adding a GError (for more
debugging info) and a newline for pretty-printing.
Unit testing consider warnings as criticals and doesn't like when it
cannot find the installed application icons. To fix the `make check`,
just print the missing icon information to stderr, but don't make it a
GLib warning.
While passing the DATADIR macro works fine natively on Linux, it somehow
failed with the mingw-w64 build with a very weird error:
> <command-line>: error: expected identifier or '(' before string constant
I could not understand what it means, as the '-DDATADIR="/some/path"'
syntax is completely fine as far as I can see.
Anyway since I see that DATAROOTDIR is already defined in meson config.h
(but not in the autotools build, just the meson one!), and using
datarootdir instead of datadir seems to be just fine (actually maybe
even more appropriate when it comes to looking up the hicolor
application icons), I just switched to using it.
In the same time, I realized that my code using build-time macros won't
work for relocatable builds anyway. So this commit also adds a bit of
code path variant using gimp_installation_directory() in the case of
ENABLE_RELOCATABLE_RESOURCES code path.
From years of discussions, it turns out that:
- The thumbnailed-Wilber icon replacing the generic icon of GIMP often
makes the application harder to spot in the icon list of running
processes.
- In single-window mode in particular, it makes even less sense as we
just show the one active image anyway.
- Even in multi-window mode, nowadays many OSes or desktop group windows
of a same application under one icon. So we end up with several image
windows under a thumbnail only showing the top image. This happens in
KDE, GNOME, Cinnamon and Windows at least apparently (as far as is
being reported).
- Some platforms would just use only the OS-declared icon and not care
about runtime-declared ones. This is apparently the case on macOS, and
also on GNOME when the desktop file is seen by the desktop
environment. So all our code about generating thumbnailed icon is
wasted on these platform anyway.
- When intensively testing the current behavior, I had cases when the
icon was not properly updated. We could of course investigate and fix
the issues, but considering all the previous points, it might make
more sense to simply drop the feature which is mostly useless, or
worse bothersome, hence simplify the code greatly.
- Finally API to set icons from GdkPixbuf data has been removed in GTK4.
So long term, trying to keep this whole machinery feels like just
making our life difficult for a feature which all OSes seem to
deprecate and which might not be possible anymore soon (or just get
harder and harder to implement).
Note that I don't use gtk_window_set_default_icon_name() because it
would use the icon from our theme, yet so far we are not sure it makes
sense for the application icon which we probably always want to be the
same, whatever the chosen theme. Finally I just list various common icon
sizes because GTK API doesn't seem to be clever enough yet. I can't just
give it 1 SVG image (e.g. with gtk_window_set_default_icon_from_file())
and hope it does the resizing at the last minute. It turns out it
doesn't and we get an extra-small icon. So instead, let's generate
common sizes ourselves from the same SVG.
This zoom mode is handled pretty much the same as GIMP_ZOOM_SMOOTH
except that we do not apply adjustments for the scaling delta. Pinch
zooming is ultimately a different physical activity than smooth
scrolling and users likely expect different sensitivity.
… GimpProcedureDialog.
Technically I added:
- New gimp_prop_color_select_new() property widget to create a
GimpColorButton for a given GimpRGB property.
- gimp_procedure_dialog_get_widget() now supports a GimpRGB property and
will create a GimpColorArea by default.
- When the default doesn't suit you, a new function
gimp_procedure_dialog_get_color_widget() allows to create either a
GimpColorArea or a GimpColorButton (editable = TRUE), as well as
choose the area type (small or large checks, as well as flat area,
i.e. no alpha support).
When GIMP_DEBUG=Gtk we can get a warning like
State 0 for GimpChainLine doesn't match state 128 set via
gtk_style_context_set_state () when moving the mouse over
a chain like the one in the Scale Image Dialog.
Let's remove this warning by setting the correct flags by
calling gtk_widget_get_state_flags.
`g_object_notify()` actually takes a global lock to look up the property
by its name, which means there is a performance hit (albeit tiny) every
time this function is called. For this reason, we should try to use
`g_object_notify_by_pspec()` instead.

When run with GIMP_DEBUG=Gtk we get a lot of debug warnings for GimpRuler and once in a while for GtkScrolledWindow that State 0
doesn't match state 128 set via gtk_style_context_set_state (). This happens because we didn't enter the current state flags of
the widget but 0 and apparently Gtk isn't happy about that.
Let's fix this by using the actual state flags by calling gtk_widget_get_state_flags.
In GTK, a common scheme is to let a function creating a specific widget
to return a `GtkWidget *`, rather than the specific subtype, since you
often need to call API of GtkWidget, avoiding some useless casts.
For bindings however (and especially bindings to compiled languages),
this is a bit annoying, as you have to explicitly change the type of the
return value (downcast), which is not trivial (or at least desirable) in
each language.
Luckily, we can use `(type ...)` annotation for this use case, leaving
the C API unchanged, while improving the experience for bindings.
When creating a label bound to a property, only make the binding
directional if the property is read-write.
This fixes WARNINGs and broken label in the GimpDeviceInfoEditor widget,
such as this one:
> The source object of type GimpDeviceInfo has no writable property called 'vendor-id'
… gimp_label_spin_set_digits() and deleted gimp_prop_opacity_entry_new()
- The "digits" argument for the number of decimal places in
gimp_prop_scale_entry_new() is now mostly useless since GimpLabelSpin
(hence GimpScaleEntry too) got a nice estimation algorithm of sensible
values.
- Add gimp_label_spin_set_digits() function to manually set the digits
property when we don't like the estimated value.
- Also add a new "factor" argument to gimp_prop_scale_entry_new(). Its
role is to allow a GimpScaleEntry showing a factored range, typically
a [0, 100] range for some types of [0, 1] properties.
- Remove gimp_prop_opacity_entry_new() which was basically a
special-case of gimp_prop_scale_entry_new() and which can now be
easily reproduced by simply set factor=100.0.
- Update all usage of gimp_prop_scale_entry_new() in app/ and plug-ins/
with updated arguments. It is interesting to note that all existing
usage were either integers (digits=1) or when double, the estimated
decimal places are the same as the ones which were manually set (hence
showing the generic estimation is not too bad). So the new function
gimp_label_spin_set_digits() was not even needed once in current code.
Similar code was used in 2 places basically (GimpLabelSpin and
GimpProcedureDialog) so just make it an utils function. It's good anyway
to have a generic function to estimate suitable increments and decimal
places depending on a range.
As a consequence also gimp_label_spin_new() now takes a gint digits
(instead of guint), with -1 meaning we want digits computed from the
range.
Similarly gimp_prop_scale_entry_new() docs adds the -1 meaning too.
A -quick done- first step towards the addition of a smart selection tool.
Require the gegl:paint-select workshop operation.
Still LOT of work to do (wip):
- fluctuations removal (GEGL side)
- multilevels pyramid approach + banded graphcut for instant result on large
image (GEGL ? GIMP ?)
- Gaussian Mixtures for color models (GEGL side)
- drawable offsets (GIMP side)
- undo / redo (GIMP side)
- scribbles edition mode (GIMP side)
- dedicated icons
- ...
- New GimpLabelIntWidget which is a label associated to any widget with
an integer "value" property.
- New gimp_procedure_dialog_get_int_combo() which creates a labeled
combo box from an integer property of the GimpProcedureConfig.
- Renamed gimp_procedure_dialog_populate*() with
gimp_procedure_dialog_fill*(). Naming is hard! I hesitated using
_pack() as well (similarly to GtkBox API).
- New gimp_procedure_dialog_fill_flowbox*() functions to create a
GtkFlowBox filled with property widgets (or other container widgets as
we can pack them one in another). This is an alternative way to build
your GUI with sane defaults, with list of property names.
So the minor fix on commit 3e35fe4d80 was not so minor after all, and I
should have looked more in details into its contents.
GET_PRIVATE() macro uses the `priv` pointer value hence had to be called
after gimp_chain_button_get_instance_private(). Thus the order was
important; the initialization and assignment values were actually
different. Simply let's get rid of the previous initialization of
`private` (make it declaration-only) to avoid cppcheck to (wrongfully)
complain about double variable assignment to the same value.
There is currently no property widget which just creates a
GimpSpinButton with a label. Just as the GimpScaleEntry was needed, this
one is as well.
I am creating a GimpLabeled abstract class which will represent various
widgets with a label. While this may seem a bit over-engineered for such
a basic feature, this will actually bring some consistency and a common
parent. In particular this can be used to get the GtkLabel with a common
interface to add them all in a common GtkSizeGroup when generating
dialogs automatically, hence make dialogs with properly aligned labels
and edition widgets.
… gimp_scale_entry_set_bounds().
I realized that this function may look like the set() opposite for
gimp_scale_entry_get_range(), which it is not at all. The get_range() is
for getting back the GtkRange widget packed in the GimpScaleEntry,
whereas the set_range() is to change the minimum and maximum allowed
values.
I had recently renamed the former, and could just rename it back into
gimp_scale_entry_get_scale() as it was, but since the class we rely on
is actually called GtkRange (GtkScale is a subclass), I think it could
be misleading. So in the end, let's rather rename the function setting
the widget minimum and maximum as gimp_scale_entry_set_bounds() instead.
Hopefully this is even more understandable. Naming is hard!
Renaming the temporary function gimp_scale_entry_new2() into
gimp_scale_entry_new() now that the original code is entirely gone. This
is now a fully-fledged widget with a nice and proper introspectable API.
Former gimp_color_scale_entry_new() is finally replaced by the
GimpColorScaleEntry implementation.
Both places which used it (GimpColorScales and compose plug-in) now use
the new widget.
Also making "upper" and "lower" properties of GimpScaleEntry into
construction properties, and create the main GtkAjustment at init, so
that we are sure that lower and upper bounds are properly set before we
set the value (when setting all properties at once, we cannot ensure
that these limit properties are set before the "value" one).
I updated GimpScaleEntry and GimpColorScaleEntry header to use
respectively the macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE and
G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE.
Though having the `priv` structure directly in the object data is
extremely comfortable for developing (hence we don't want to use this
macro on core code as it makes coding a bit more bothersome), it is true
that it does not make for a very pretty public interface (showing a
`priv` member which nobody can actually use, and a private type which
has no associated functions). So it might be a good idea to use these
macros at least on libgimp side.
I am still not sure though if it is a good idea so we could say it's an
experiment. At least the docs says that using G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE does
not affect ABI stability as it can later be changed into a
G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE because the class structure stays private. So
at least that's one good point.
P.S.: also reordering gimpwidgets.def.
Similarly to GimpScaleEntry, this is meant to replace usage of
gimp_color_scale_entry_new() by having a proper widget. This is a child
class of GimpScaleEntry which simply replaces the GtkScale by a
GimpColorScale by adding a GimpScaleEntry class method to create the
scale widget (only restriction: it must be a GtkRange subtype).
This also triggers me to rename gimp_scale_entry_get_scale() into
gimp_scale_entry_get_range() (as well as the 2 plug-ins already using
this function).
I got rid of gimp_scale_entry_set_sensitive(), as we can now use the
generic gtk_widget_set_sensitive(), and I ported the 2 plug-ins using
this function.
I also created gimp_scale_entry_set_value() to set the value (nicer than
setting object properties).
