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.
because they are deprecated.
Change GIMP_ICON_TYPE_INLINE_PIXBUF to GIMP_ICON_TYPE_PIXBUF and the
libgimp API to (icon-name, GdkPixbuf, GFile). Use the file's uri and a
PNG blob of the pixbuf to pass around on the wire and for storage in
pluginrc.
Move all old wire code to gimplegacy.c and add wire code to
GimpPlugIn, which now talks with the GIMP core all by itself.
Add some more ASSERT_NO_PLUG_IN_EXISTS assertions to gimplegacy.c and
fix new code that was still using legacy API.
The idea is that we already have a GimpProcedure object in libgimp
which has name, help, blurb, arguments, return values and everything,
so we really don't need a parallel API to query PDB procedures for
their properties.
- make run() a virtual function of GimpProcedure
- move GIMP_PDB_ERROR to GimpPDB
- GimpPDBProcedure is a trivial subblass which populates
GimpProcedure's members by querying the PDB.
- make "plug-in", "procedure-type" and "name" construct-only
properties of GimpProcedure.
This is all work in progress.
Mostly the same code as GimpProcedure in app/pdb/.
Move the "run" function to GimpProcedure. Add API to GimpPlugIn to
list and create procedures, and always keep a list of the plug-ins
procedures around. Still only using the old params and return_vals.
The new way of doing plug-ins:
- subclass GimpPlugIn in your plug-in
- implement its query() and run() methods, run() will move to a
new GimpProcedure class soon
- instead of MAIN(), say GIMP_MAIN(YOUR_PLUG_IN_TYPE)
Instead of keeping around a GimpPlugInInfo struct, libgimp will
create an instance of your plug-in class, keep it around during
the plug-in's lifetime, and call its virtual functions.
The GimpDrawable abstraction is completely gone, GimpTile is now a
small struct in gimptilebackendplugin.c.
All tile handling code is now in GimpTileBackendPlugin, the backend
functions are simply calling gimp_tile_get() and gimp_tile_put()
directly.
Add a gimp-register-file-handler-priority procedure, which can be
used to set the priority of a file-handler procedure. When more
than one file-handler procedure matches a file, the procedure with
the lowest priority is used; if more than one procedure has the
lowest priority, it is unspecified which one of them is used. The
default priority of file-handler procedures is 0.
Add the necessary plumbing (plus some fixes) to the plug-in manager
to handle file-handler priorities. In particular, use two
different lists for each type of file-handler procedures: one meant
for searching, and is sorted according to priority, and one meant
for display, and is sorted alphabetically.
...upon exporting an image
Step 1: make it configurable just like "Export EXIF" etc.
app, libgimp: add "export-color-profile" config option
Add it to the preferences dialog, and pass it on to plug-ins in the
GPConfig message. Add gimp_export_color_profile() to libgimp.
Nothing uses this yet.
Also remove all traces of it from the plug-in protocol and raise the
protocol version to 0x0100 (we now allow features and therefore
version bumps in stable, and the master protocol version should always
be higher). Fix the code that aborts plug-in startup on protocol
version mismatch, we can't use gimp_message() because we have no
protocol.
Pass the current icon theme directory to plug-ins through the
config message, and add a gimp_icon_theme_dir() libgimp function
for retrieving it. Note that we already have a similar
gimp_icon_get_theme_dir() PDB function, which we keep around, since
it can be used to dynamically query for the current icon dir,
unlike the former, and since it returns a dynamically-allocated
string, while the rest of the config-related functions return
statically allocated strings.
Use the new function, instead of gimp_get_icon_theme_dir(), in
gimp_ui_init(). This allows gimp_ui_init() to run without making
any PDB calls. Consequently, this allows us to start plug-ins that
call gimp_ui_init() without entering the main loop in the main app.
We're going to add a plug-in that displays an interactive dialog
while the main app is blocking waiting for an operation to
complete, and we need to be able to start the plug-in without
entering the main loop, to avoid the possibility of arbitrary code
being executed during the wait.
Bump the protocol version.
These procedures freeze/thaw the corresponding containers of the
image, allowing plug-ins that perform many changes affecting any of
these containers to suppress updates to the corresponding dialogs,
significantly improving performance.
We were only able to translate selections and layers (bot not channels
and paths) via the PDB, this new procedure fixes that. Deprecation of
old API and some more transform consistency to follow...
Add new PDB group "drawable_edit" which has all procedures from the
"edit" group which are not cut/copy/paste.
The new group's procedures don't have opacity, paint_mode
etc. arguments but take them from the context instead. Unlike the old
gimp-edit-fill, gimp-drawable-edit-fill now uses the context's opacity
and paint_mode.
The new gimp-drawable-edit-gradient-fill procedure uses even more
context properties which are also newly added with this commit
(gradient_color_space, gradient_repeat_mode, gradient_reverse).
And some cleanup in context.pdb.
This is still WIP, nothing in the edit group is depcreated yet.
This property is currently only used for gimp_edit_blend() to control
how are computed distances. In the future, it could be used for more
functions making use of "gegl:distance-transform" operation, or even for
other algorithms, if relevant.
This new property obviously comes with 2 new PDB calls:
gimp_context_get_distance_metric() & gimp_context_set_distance_metric()
... procedure call.
This is needed for plug-ins which depends on other plug-in's procedures.
If for instance, the second-level plug-in is interrupted interactively,
we don't want to process this as an error but as a cancellation.
Therefore we need to know the returned value of the plug-in. Currently
only way was to use gimp_get_pdb_error() but that was returning a
human-readable error, not a computer-processable error.
Remove the invert-linear and invert-non-linear variants and simply add
"gboolean linear" to gimp-drawable-invert. This should actually be an
enum but I didn't find a good name right now...
and add gimp_drawable_invert_linear(). Also, finally deprecate
gimp_invert() and port all its uses in plug-ins and scripts to
gimp_drawable_invert_non_linear() so the result is the same.
...in both the core and libgimp.
Images now know what the default mode for new layers is:
- NORMAL for empty images
- NORMAL for images with any non-legacy layer
- NORMAL_LEGAVY for images with only legacy layers
This changes behavior when layers are created from the UI, but *also*
when created by plug-ins (yes there is a compat issue here):
- Most (all?) single-layer file importers now create NORMAL layers
- Screenshot, Webpage etc also create NORMAL layers
Scripts that create images from scratch (logos etc) should not be
affected because they usually have NORMAL_LEGACY hardcoded.
3rd party plug-ins and scripts will also behave old-style unless they
get ported to gimp_image_get_default_new_layer_mode().
Add "import-raw-plug-in" to gimprc, and a new procedure
gimp_register_file_handler_raw(). On startup, remove all load
procedures that are marked as "handles raw" but are not implemented by
the configured plug-in. Add the list of available plug-ins to prefs ->
import/export. Register all file-darktable procedures as handling raw.
Largely based on a patch by Ell, with the enum type renamed and
various small changes. Adds another axis of configurability to the
existing layer mode madness, and is WIP too.
with proper value names. Mark most values as _BROKEN because they use
weird alpha compositing that has to die. Move GimpLayerModeEffects to
libgimpbase, deprecate it, and set it as compat enum for GimpLayerMode.
Add the GimpLayerModeEffects values as compat constants to script-fu
and pygimp.
Add property "color-tag" of type enum GimpColorTag to GimpItem so all
layers, channels and paths can be tagged with a color.
For interoperability, use the color list from Krita which is a
superset of Photoshop's colors.
Features a "Color Tag" submenu in the layers, channels and paths
menus, a row of color radio buttons in the properties dialogs,
undo and PDB API.
As a side effect, some common code is now factores out into
items-actions.[ch] and items-commands.[ch] which adds visible, linked
and lock actions for layers and channels.
Add PDB sample point API similar to how the guide API works. Add core
API similar to the core guide API to make guide and sample point APIs
as similar as possible.
Add new PDB procedures gimp-context-get/set-stroke-method and honor
the new setting in gimp-edit-stroke and gimp-edit-stroke-vectors.
Internally, keep a GimpStrokeOptions around in GimpPDBContext to keep
track of the newly added PDB state, and use it for the stroke
operations instead of creating a scratch GimpStrokeOptions.
Which will have proper API to deal with an image's color profile (no
parasites, no ICC blobs). So far contains gimp_image_get_color_profile()
and gimp_image_set_color_profile().
It makes little sense to keep them in one header and parse them with a
pile of perl, just to generate them in another header. Simply keep
them in a place everybody depends on.
For windows, exported functions must be listed in the
according .def file. If the function itself is deleted,
the corresponding function must also be deleted from the
.def file
Which contains all the API from the "color" group, but with a
gimp_drawable namespace and with support for high bit depths. The
group is actually a copy of "color" with cruft removed and some API
ported to using float instead of integer API.
Deprecated all "color" functions that already have a ported version in
"drawable_color".
This is unfinished WIP, some functions in "drawable_color" still have
the old API.
Based on original patches from Hartmut Kuhse and modified
by Michael Natterer. Changes include:
- remove libexif dependency and add a hard dependency on gexiv2
- typedef GExiv2Metadata to GimpMetadata to avoid having to
include gexiv2 globally
- add basic GimpMetadata handling functions to libgimpbase
- add image and image file specific metadata functions to libgimp,
including the exif orientation image rotate dialog
- port plug-ins to use the new APIs
- port file-tiff-save's UI to GtkBuilder
- add new plug-in "metadata" to view the image's metadata
- keep metadata around as GimpImage member in the core
- update the image's metadata on image size, resolution and precision
changes
- obsolete the old metadata parasites
- migrate the old parasites to new GimpMetadata object on XCF load
Apply and heavily modify patch from remyDev which adds "lock position"
to GimpItem, similar to "lock content". Lock position disables all
sorts of translation and transform, from the GUI and the PDB.
Cleaned up some aspects of the lock content code as well because a
second instance of similar code always shows what went wrong the first
time.
Add gimp_plugin_enable_precision() in libgimp which switches the
plug-in to deal with the drawables' real precision, call it from the
libgimp GeglBuffer and Babl format APIs. If it's not enabled, let the
core's plug-in convert the tiles to legacy formats when sending them
over the wire.
Apply heavily modified patch from Es Swartz which adds PDB API for
brush size, angle and aspect ratio, as well as a full interface for
ink. Changed to patch to add all procedures to the "context" group
instead of creating new PDB groups, properly use the new
GimpPDBContext APIs for paint options, and did some general cleanup.
(Warning, completely untested).
Make gimp_image_get_uri() and gimp_image_get_filename() behave as in
the GIMP 2.6 days. Add new functions gimp_image_get_xcf_uri(),
gimp_image_get_exported_uri() and gimp_image_get_imported_uri().
and rename them yet again to be gimp_item_foo_parasite() instead of
gimp_item_parasite_foo() because the latter is just a misnaming (they
are not GimpItemParasites, they are GimpParasites attached to
GimpItems, just as layers are attached to images).
which all take "parent" parameters and allow to insert items in a
tree. We don't have channel or vectors trees (yet) but API symmetry is
more important here than a currently useless parameter.
