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.
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()
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.
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.
Add a debug procedure group, living in 'debug.pdb', which would host
useful debug helper functions. Functions in this group are not part
of the stable API, and may be changed at any point.
All procedures added to 'debug.pdb' should have a 'debug_' prefix,
and use the new std_pdb_debug() macro, which adds the proper "here be
dragons" warning to their description.
Add two debug procedures: gimp-debug-timer-start() and
gimp-debug-timer-end(), which measure elapsed time, a la
GIMP_TIMER_{START,END}, and can be used to profile script-fu
commands.
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.
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.
The lcms plug-in is on its way out: add compat procedures implementing
plug-in-icc-profile-info and plug-in-icc-profile-file-info and remove
that code from lcms.c.
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().
