Add a new Gimp::tool_item_list list, in addition to
Gimp::tool_info_list. The latter may contain arbitrary tool items,
including tool groups, and is intended for use in the UI (namely,
the toolbox and the preferences tool editor).
In gimp-tools, use Gimp::tool_item_list for representing the UI
tool order (while still using Gimp::tool_info_list as a flat list
of all GimpToolInfo objects), and add support for saving and
loading tool groups to/from toolrc.
Introduce file-version tracking in toolrc, and drop its contents on
version mismatch, or when new tools are introduced. This is
slightly disruptive, but merging new changes with existing toolrc
files is non-trivial, and it doesn't happen very often.
Add support for a sysconf toolrc file, which is used if there's no
user toolrc file (i.e., on first use). If neither file is found,
the hard-coded flat tool order is used. This commit doesn't
provide a default toolrc file, but the next commits will.
Make the gimp-tools serialization and deserialization functions
public, for use in GimpToolEditor in the next commits.
Add GimpToolGroup as a new subclass of GimpToolItem, representing a
collection of tools. The end goal is to display tool groups using
a single button in the toolbox.
Tool groups are not recursive: they can only contain individual
tools, not other groups. Each group has a single "active tool",
normally the most-recently-used tool of the group, which is
activated when clicking on the tool's button.
Add GimpToolItem as a common base class for toolbox items.
Derive GimpToolInfo from GimpToolItem, representing an individual
tool. The next commits add support for tool groups, represented by
an alternative subclass of GimpToolItem.
Most of the tool-info properties remain in GimpToolInfo, however,
GimpToolItem takes care of tool-item visibility.
Add a new 3D Transform tool, based on GimpToolTransform3DGrid,
added in the previous commit. The tool UI provides a notbook with
three tabs, corresponding to the three GimpToolTransform3DGrid
modes:
Camera - allows setting the primary vanishing point, as well as
the camera's focal length, expressed either directly, or as the
camera's angle of view, relative to the whole image or the
transformed item. By default, the vanishing point is aligned
with the item's center, and the angle of view is fixed relative
to the item; this essentially means that each item is transformed
using a local perspective, independent of its position and size
relative to the image. A global perspective can be achieved by
using a common vanishing point and focal length (or an image-
relative angle of view).
Move - allows moving the item using X, Y, and Z offsets.
Rotate - allows rotating the item using X, Y, and Z Euler angles.
The order of rotation of the different axes can be controlled by
a set of numbered buttons next to the sliders, and the rotation's
pivot can be controlled using a pivot selector.
Add a new GimpToolTransform3DGrid tool widget, subclassed from
GimpToolTransformGrid, which can be used to perform 3D
transformations.
The widget can be in one of three modes:
CAMERA - allows adjusting the primary vanishing point by moving a
handle.
MOVE - allows moving the object through dragging.
ROTATE - allows rotating the object through dragging.
By default, controlling the transformation through dragging applies
to the X and Y axes. Holding Shift (or setting the "constrain-
axis" property) restricts the motion to only one of the axes.
For the MOVE and ROTATE mode, holding Ctrl (or setting the "z-axis"
property) allows controlling the Z axis instead.
For the same modes, holding Alt (or setting the "local-frame"
property), applies the adjustments in the object's local frame of
reference, instead of the display's global frame of reference.
I am not touching the translation, only the formatting for the Keywords
field in desktop file. As requested by a translation comment, all
translations of this field need to end with semicolon too (without, we
get validation warnings).
Blacklist the "tools-offset" action in the GUI, and only keep
"filters-offset", to avoid duplication. Update gimp:offset's
description, so that "filters-offset" gets a proper tool-tip.
Add a new Offset filter tool, as a front-end to gimp:offset. The
tool replaces, and provides the same interface as, the drawable-
offset dialog, while also providing live preview and on-canvas
interaction.
Note that we don't simply use a custom propgui constructor for
gimp:offset, since we need a little more control.
We currently have brush and pattern I/O code in both the core and
plug-ins. This commit starts removing plug-in code in favor of having
one copy of the code in the core, much like XCF loading and saving is
implemented.
Add app/file-data/ module with file procedure registering code, for
now just with an implementation of file-gbr-load.
Remove the file-gbr-load code from the file-gbr plug-in.
Similar to the previous fix in commit 7a5e5be35e, this doesn't change
anything in the actual string and its usage within the software. Thus
following yesterday's discussion on gnome-i18n ML, I just do the
search-and-replace fix.
This is complementary to commit 6c5b6c6135, which fixed the code where a
same GimpEnumActionEntry was mixing translatable strings with various
contexts.
See commit f8f3a74971.
The context change was basically a bug fix, and nothing changed in the
original string, nor its actual GUI context/usage. Therefore there is no
need to invalidate the translations (mark it "fuzzy", which would be
what would happen automatically after this change) for the 43 languages
which already translated these. Let's just search-and-replace all the po
files with the correct context.
For the record, I got the green light from several translators on
gnome-i18n ML so let's fix. :-)
Add on-canvas GUI (simple lines) for circular, linear and zoom motion
blur. The restrictions in the interaction show pretty well that there
is room for improvement here, the line is just a bit too generic, but
it's better than nothing.
This commit completely removes the "Edit -> Fade..." feature,
because...
- The main reason is that "fade" requires us to keep two buffers,
instead of one, for each fadeable undo step, doubling (or worse,
since the extra buffer might have higher precision than the
drawable) the space consumed by these steps. This has notable
impact when editing large images. This overhead is incurred even
when not actually using "fade", and since it seems to be very
rarely used, this is too wasteful.
- "Fade" is broken in 2.10: when comitting a filter, we copy the
cached parts of the result into the apply buffer. However, the
result cache sits after the mode node, while the apply buffer
should contain the result of the filter *before* the mode node,
which can lead to wrong results in the general case.
- The same behavior can be trivially achieved "manually", by
duplicating the layer, editing the duplicate, and changing its
opacity/mode.
- If we really want this feature, now that most filters are GEGL
ops, it makes more sense to just add opacity/mode options to the
filter tool, instead of having this be a separate step.
We currently construct the tool-options GUI for all the tools at
startup, which takes a significant amount of time. Instead,
only register the GUI construction function with the tool-options
object, using the new gimp_tools_set_tool_options_gui_func()
function, and use the registered function to construct the GUI when
actually needed.
