This means that all functions which were returning or taking as
parameter an image id (as gint32) are now taking a GimpImage object
instead.
The PDB is still passing around an id only over the wire. But we create
an object for plug-ins to work on.
This is quite a huge API break, but is probably the best bet for the
future quality. It will make nicer API instrospection (and nicer API in
binding), will fix the issues with pspec on GimpImageID in Python
bindings (which makes the current Python API unusable as soon as we need
to work on images, which is most of our plug-ins!), etc.
Also it will allow to use signals on images, which will be a great asset
when we will finally have bi-directionnal communications (i.e. plug-ins
would be able to connect to image changes, destructions, and whatnot).
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.
on behalf of plug-in authors who have no style or can't type.
Instead, simply reject non-canonical procedure names and remove all
code that keeps aroud the original non-canonical shit just to pass it
back to the plug-in.
In the various PDB transform functions, avoid erroneously creating
a floating selection when transforming the image mask, and rather
transform the mask normally.
Remove the special clipping-mode handling for channels throughout
the transform (and drawable-filter) code, and rather use
gimp_item_get_clip(), added in the previous commit, instead. As
mentioned in the previous commit, we only modify the clipping mode
in top-level code, while having lower-level code use the clipping
mode as-is. This not only hides the actual clipping-mode logic
from the transform code, but, in particular, allows code performing
transformation internally to use arbitrary clipping modes.
Also, this commit fixes a bunch of PDB bugs all over the place :)
Which return proper GParamSpecs. Incuding some useless testing code in
gimp_procedural_db_proc_info(), to make sure things work, will go away
again soon.
Also generate comments like "Must be freed with g_free()" for all
return values instead of manually and inconsistently having them on
some return values only.
allow to pass booleans and enums to GIMP_TYPE_INT32 arguments. We
didn't have them in the old plug-in API, and being less strict allows
for booleans and enums being passed to old procedures transparently.
which means that it's now included normally via gimpbase.h
and not any longer via gimpbasetypes.h which we only did out
of lazyness. A *lot* of files in libgimp* and app/ now need to
- libgimpbase: change GPParam to transfer all information about the
GValues we use, in the same way done for GPParamDef. GPParam is now
different from GimpParam from libgimp, pointers can't be casted any
longer. The protocol is now completely GimpPDBArgType-free. Remove
gp_params_destroy() from the public API.
- libgimp: add API to convert between an array of GPParams and
GimpValueArray, the latter is now the new official API for dealing
with procedure arguments and return values, GimpParam is cruft (the
wire now talks with GimpPlugIn more directly than with the members
of GimpPlugInInfo, which need additional compat conversions).
- libgimp, app: rename gimpgpparamspecs.[ch] to simply
gimpgpparams.[ch] which is also more accurate because they now
contain GValue functions too. The code that used to live in
app/plug-in/plug-in-params.h is now completely in libgimp.
- app: contains no protocol compat code any longer, the only place
that uses GimpPDBArgType is the PDB query procedure implementation,
which also needs to change.
- app: change some forgotten int32 run-modes to enums.
- Change the wire protocol's GPProcInstall to transmit the entire
information needed for constructing all GParamSpecs we use, don't
use GimpPDBArgType in GPProcInstall but an enum private to the wire
protocol plus the GParamSpec's GType name. Bump the wire protocol
version.
- Add gimpgpparamspecs.[ch] in both app/plug-in/ and libgimp/ which
take care of converting between GPParamDef and GParamSpec. They
share code as far as possible.
- Change pluginrc writing and parsing to re-use GPParamDef and the
utility functions from gimpgpparamspecs.
- Remove gimp_pdb_compat_param_spec() from app/pdb/gimp-pdb-compat.[ch],
the entire core uses proper GParamSpecs from the wire protocol now,
the whole file will follow down the drain once we use a GValue
representation on the wire too.
- In gimp_plug_in_handle_proc_install(), change the "run-mode"
parameter to a GParamSpecEnum(GIMP_TYPE_RUN_MODE) (if it is not
already an enum). and change all places in app/ to treat it as an
enum value.
- plug-ins: fix cml-explorer to register correctly, a typo in
"run-mode" was never noticed until now.
- Add gimpgpcompat.[ch] in libgimp to deal with all the transforms
between old-style wire communication and using GParamSpec and
GValue, it contains some functions that are subject to change or
even removal in the next steps.
- Change the libgimp GimpProcedure and GimpPlugIn in many ways to be
able to actually install procedures the new way.
- plug-ins: change goat-exercise to completely use the new GimpPlugIn
and GimpProcedure API, look here to see how plug-ins will look in
the future, of course subject to change until this is finished.
- Next: changing GPParam to transmit all information about a GValue.
Not for 2.10 because the GEGL op's result looks different. I have no
clue how softglow is supposed to look at all, but the removed plug-in
did things that can't possibly be done with physical light in a
darkroom, so chances are the GEGL op is more correct.
...for gimp_context_set_antialias(antialias)
Mention gimp_context_set_antialias() in the stroke docs, and mention
the stroke functions in the antialias docs.
Add a "gboolean edge_lock" parameter to GimpChannel::feather() and a
"Selected areas continue outside the image" toggle to the "Feather
Selection" dialog, just like they exist for shrink selection and
border selection. At the end, convert the boolean to the right abyss
policy for gegl:gaussian-blur.
Add "gboolean push_undo" parameters to gimp_image_parasite_attach()
and _detach() and use the API also from undo, instead of implementing
attaching/removing manually and forgetting about the signals.
Fixes updating of the image properties color profile page.
