layers-select-next/layers-select-previous don't work well as up/down
arrow behavior because they only work within each selected layer's
level. But historically (and that's what makes the most sense IMO, and
is the most expected behavior), up/down arrows would walk through the
layer list visually. I.e. that it would select next whatever is the next
layer displayed in the Layers dockable, even if it means selecting
children or going down one layer group level.
The 2 new actions "layers-select-flattened-previous" and
"layers-select-flattened-next" do this. Say you have this tree:
Layer 1
Layer 2
| - Layer 3
| - Layer 4
Layer 5
With the "flattened" actions, after Layer 2, there is Layer 3, and after
Layer 4, there is Layer 5… unless… Layer 2 (layer group) is collapsed.
In which case, after Layer 2 is Layer 5. This selection movement indeed
takes into account the state of the layer group expanders.
This makes the Up/Down arrows work similarly to how they used to work
with default GtkTreeView implementation, except that the logic now also
works well with multiple selected items.
Though these are not as user-facing as other strings, the action names
still are somewhat user-facing. Let's rename them consistently with the
GUI and the API.
This commit also handles user config migration so that custom shortcuts
are not lost.
If "data" is a GimpItemTreeView or a GimpImageEditor, we REALLY want
only the image from these dialogs, even if NULL, and NOT some other
image from a display or context that randomly is around anyway. Fixes
the sensitivity states of lots of buttons in these dialogs.
I started from mitch's patch (though code changed so it was not working,
yet I ended up with quite a different direction).
Modified from original proposition in #498:
* Do not mix opacity and brush size in a same action, one on horizontal
movement, the other on vertical. The problem is that it's hard to stay
perfectly horizontal or vertical, so you nearly necessarily change one
while changing the other and this would be frustrating.
* Do not just use modifiers, but modifiers + right click. The logics is
that left (or whatever is the first button) click is for the tool
actions. The middle click for navigation (panning, rotation, and even
layer navigation now). Right click for now is only for menu. With this
change, let's use right click for various settings-related changes
too. Also we already have people complaining with things like canvas
rotation happening unexpectedly even though it requires button clicks.
Imagine an action just made of modifiers! Many people would hit these
by mistake all the time!
* Focus on brush size only for now. Instead of just calling the action
repetitively with the "SElECT_NEXT" action as proposed in the original
patch by mitch, let's compute the actual size between the press and
release. This would allow to have a real visual hint and also would
make it a lot more useful and meaningful to be an on-canvas change.
Say you want to reproduce a stroke size on canvas. You can click the
center and expand to retrieve approximately the size without computing
it in pixels.
Limitations and future work:
* This is a first draft and I still want to test if it works well with
the "lock brush to view" and with scale factor > 1.
* I want to associate this with work done for #7034 so that visual hint
still appear even when we have no visual hint set.
* I am not so fond of with the way we use enum actions which doesn't
really make satisfying logics (I hacked a bit over it, but it's
getting ugly). I'm considering creating int/double actions to really
set some values with exact numbers through actions.
* Right now we need to stop the right click first. I want to be able to
stop the brush sizing with releasing Alt too.
* It would be nice to make this all more customizable, which is why I
called internal variable "mod1_setting". The goal will be to have
other types of actions possibly. Also it could be deactivatable for
people really not liking these or hitting these by mistake (while not
needing these). Same for the navigation shorcuts.
* Similarly the right-click menu could be deactivatable or switched to
other actions conditionally (through Preferences). It is doubtful how
useful it is (compared to using the same menus on top of the GUI)
though I don't want to just delete the option because some people
would clearly be used to it.
* I think we should start breaking down the whole tool events code a bit
more, in particular the function gimp_display_shell_canvas_tool_events().
* For more settings, a small on-canvas GUI could be of interest where
you could customize various values through sliders and buttons, and
also where you could put your favorite brushes or dynamics or whatnot.
It's not replacing the more complete dockable but could be a nice
quick version for fast editing.
Properly pass the multi-selection information through the container
classes. Previous implementation was incomplete (most code paths with
multiple item selected were just ignored) and data was passed through
the "select-item" signal with the GimpViewable to NULL and the data to a
list of items (instead of being a GtkTreeIter otherwise). Having a
pointer data which changes meaning in the same function/class is not the
best idea. So instead "select-items" will have 2 list as parameters: a
list of items and a list of GtkTreePath to be used similarly and with
less ambiguity.
Streamline the various action_data_get_foo() functions, by having
each function only match the action data directly against its
specific type(s), and use the other functions to match the action
data against their corresponding types, instead of having each
function directly exhaust all possible matches.
Other than reducing depulication, it fixes certain cases in which
some action_data_get_foo() functions would fail to find a match,
even though one exists, since they failed to exhaust all the
options.
The dashboard dockable shows the current GEGL cache and swap sizes,
and their recent history. It has options to control the update
rate and history duration of the data, and an option to warn (by
raising/blinking the dialog) when the swap size approaches its
limit.
More than 2000 lines of code less in app/, instead of
if (instance->member)
{
g_object_unref/g_free/g_whatever (instance->member);
instance->member = NULL;
}
we now simply use
g_clear_object/pointer (&instance->member);
It was agreed that we should write "plug-in" consistently. Only possibly
user-visible strings were updated.
Thanks to scootergrisen for a first patch which could not make it
after changing decision on the canonical writing.
Try to sort all GIMP_ICON_* defines into FDO categories like in
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/latest/ar01s04.html
Add defines for all icons we override, rename some icons to their FDO
standard names, and mark the ones we duplicate with a comment so we
don't forget to rename those to standard names in 3.0.
Remove all stock items added since 2.8, restore accidentially removed
ones, and rename the newly added GIMP_STOCK_* defines to GIMP_ICON_*.
(will move to having GIMP_ICON_* defines instead of magic hardcoded
strings for all icons).
... standard icon names and GTK+ icon names as second choice.
We should only use GIMP specific icon names as last resort, when there
is no standard or GTK+ names dedicated to the function.
This is made possible thanks to commit 3cc77b0.

- GimpContext API and property
- a GimpDataFactory
- List and grid views with GimpDataFactoryView
- actions and a context menu
None of this is connected to the actual tool yet, or depends on
libmypaint in any way.
...don't work
Make action_data_get_display() return the right display also if the
action callback's user_data is a GimpImageEditor (GimpUndoEditor in
this case). The undo and redo actions now require a display, not only
an image, so this broke as a side effect.
Implemented infrastructure for multiple selection support.
GimpContainerTreeView actually provides such functionality.
All other GimpContainerViews should work as before.
Since the order of docks in a dock window is arbitrary, it can never
be correct to only care about the first dock. Remove
gimp_dock_window_get_dock() and correct that code that made use of
it. (The function itself was introduced when there could only be one
dock per dock window.)
Handle GIMP_IS_DOCK_WINDOW in action_data_get_foo(). This makes image
related keyboard shortcuts work again when e.g. a dock is the focused
window. Fix discovered by Michael Natterer.
The new function does the right thing, unlike get_toplevel() which
returns the shell itself if it is not in a window. Check the return
value of get_window() for being non-NULL.
