The menu definition in image-menu.ui.in.in didn't have the same
capitalization as in the plug-ins that uses it, so it was never
used, and would never be shown translated.
The old menu label was confusing to users.
Remove translatable strings having joke "goat" so translators not confused.
Move the goat plugins to the menu.
The items under the menu should all be example plugins.
The menu is in a release.
Test plugins should not be in this menu.
Test plugins should not ship in a stable release.
!!! Note that 2.10 does not ship with example plugins.
If we don't want 3.0 to ship stable build with example plugins,
then the meson.build for goat-exercises needs to change
and the menu removed entirely in menus/image-menu.ui.in.in.
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.
Though we mostly removed floating layers/masks (formerly floating
selections) in many interactions, at least for default behaviors for
basic pastes, there are still advanced usage attached to this concept
and some advanced users are willing to have easier access to such items.
For this reason, this commit:
- adds edit-paste-float and edit-paste-float-in-place for pasting the
contents of the clipboard as floating data with default positionning
algorithm or in-place respectively;
- renames select-float to select-cut-float which does a cut and paste as
float in one action;
- adds select-copy-float which does a copy and paste as float in one
action;
- reorganize a bit the `Edit > Paste as` submenu with sections for the
floating data variants;
- add a "Float" submenu in "Select" root menu, containing the 2 variant
actions select-cut-float and select-copy-float.
It's nearly the same list of placeholders which will make it easier to
third-party developers (though format still changed, devs will have to add
square brackets for section names).
Now some section names are missing because we would need to break some list into
smaller sections yet want to avoid having separators everywhere. This makes me
wonder if removing my first placeholder implementation was the right idea.
Anyway this new implementation is cleaner and we should find a way to add
sub-sections without creating separators in menus.
Also I didn't try to add new section names (though I did once or twice, e.g. a
"Close" section around quit/close actions which didn't exist) but eventually we
should. Being able to name logically parts of the menus will make them even more
organized (if we can't name a group of actions, it may mean we didn't think
properly the organization and order).
File/Quit, Edit/Preferences|Input Devices|Keyboard Shortcuts should not be in
the main menu bar on macOS because they are already in the "app menu".
See #9322.
I'm not sure what's the default for random string attribute, but better be
explicit anyway. I think this way, we make sure that gettext won't try and
translate these.
This removes a bunch of inconsistencies we had from the before-2.99.16 version
because new items from plug-ins were all added at the bottom of their respective
submenu.
Now that we don't blindly generate a messy list of all non-special cased actions
in Filters > GEGL Operations, "GEGL Graph" is all alone in this submenu. It just
makes sense to bring it back to the Generic submenus where it used to be.
"edit-paste-as-new-image-short" and "vectors-selection-to-vectors-short" were
just duplicate of the action named the same, except for the "-short" suffix, and
the only point was to have different labels.
Not though that this time, it was not enough to conclude that the action in a
menu shoud have the short variant. These were both used differently depending on
the menu.
Instead I added the concept of "label-variant" attribute in .ui menu files. When
the "long" variant is set, then we simply use the longer label.
There is still one more "-short" action: "tools-by-color-select-short", but I am
a still unsure how to handle this one.
Since we now generate actions for GEGL ops, we might as well generate menu items
for these too.
What I did:
- Move the "GEGL Operation…" tool (generic dialog with a drop-down list of all
non-ignored GEGL ops) to Tools menu.
- Create a "GEGL Operations" submenu in Filters > Generic.
- Move "GEGL Graph" to the top of this new submenu.
- Generate a new menu item for each generated action tied to a GEGL plug-in,
alphabetically sorted.
Depending on where it's used, this list of action can be either in the
"dockable" or the "dialogs" action group.
The meson rule is a bit more complicated than I wished it were because of the
ever-so-blocking lack of simple dependency in meson.
