... instead of calling g_type_register_static() ourselves.
Keep the old foo_interface_get_type() (replaced with
foo_get_type()) around as deprecated functions, to maintain ABI
compatibility. They will be removed in a separate commit in
master, so that this commit can be easily cherry-picked to
gimp-2-10.
Fonts should not be blocking startup as this provides a very bad
experience when people have a lot of fonts. This was experienced even
more on Windows where loading time are often excessively long.
We were already running font loading in a thread, yet were still
blocking startup (thread was only so that the loading status GUI could
get updated as a feedback). Now we will only start loading and proceed
directly to next steps.
While fonts are not loaded, the text tool will not be usable, yet all
other activities can be performed.
Improve the formalism of a GimpAsync object being "sycned"
(previously referred to as the main thread being "synced" with the
async thread), by both providing a gimp_async_is_synced() function,
separate from gimp_async_is_stopped(), and by improving the type
and function descriptions.
Make sure all previously added callbacks have been called after a
call to gimp_async_wait[_until](), even if these functions are
called from within a callback.
Replace the custom threading code with a call to
gimp_parallel_run_async(). This simplifies the code, while
maintaining the current (blocking) behavior. In the future, we
might build upon this to actually load the fonts in the background.
The default stack size for new threads on MacOS is 512 KiB, making
our 512 KiB limit for stack-allocated buffers in
gimp_operation_layer_mode_real_process() too high. Lower it to
256 KiB.
In gimp_drawable_gradient(), pass the undo description ("Gradient")
to gimp_gegl_apply_operation(), so that its displayed as the
progress text while rendering the gradient, even when applying a
shaped gradient, in which case we end the progress after
calculating the distance map, causing the progress text be NULL
during rendering unless explicitly set.
... which is a drop-in replacement for gegl_buffer_copy(),
parallelizing the copy operation when the source and destination
formats are different, requiring a conversion.
Remove all clipping hacks for drawing the canvas background, turns out
they never worked and we were relying on the pattern set on the
window, gah!
Also remove deprecated attempts to get a backgroud color and simply
don't show a color box in the menus for "from theme" cases.
and some size negotiation changes that have no effect at all, just
some hacking in the direction of making it a general-purpose
container, for whatever reason.
