When a selection exists, we are copying then pasting the selection
contents. In particular, with multi-layer selection, it means pasting a
merged result of the selected layers (like a sample merged but limited
to selected layers).
Yet when no selection exists, with a single layer selected, a cut in
particular would remove the layer fully, then a paste would copy it
elsewhere (in the same image or even on a different image). This was
still working, but not with multiple layers. This is now fixed and we
can now copy/cut then paste several layers (without merge), which is
sometimes a very practical way to move layers (sometimes simpler than
drag'n drop, especially between images).
As a consequence, the PDB function gimp_edit_paste() now also returns an
array of layers (not a single layer).
This implied a lot of other core changes, which also pushed me into
improving some of the edit actions and PDB calls to be multi-layer aware
in the same time.
Note that it is still work-in-progress, but I just had to commit
something in an acceptable intermediate state otherwise I was just going
crazy.
In particular now the various transform tools are multi-layer aware and
work simultaneously on all selected layers (and the linked layers if any
of the selected layers is linked too). Both preview and final transform
processing works.
In the limitations, preview doesn't work well (only one layer in the
preview) when there is a selection (though the actual transform works).
Also I am left to wonder how we should process this case of canvas
selection+transform on multi-layers. Indeed currently I am just creating
a floating selection (like we used to for the selection+transform case)
containing a transform result of the composited version of all selected
layers. This is a possible expected result, but another could be to get
several transformed layers (without composition). But then should the
"Floating Selection" concept allow for multiple Floating Selections?
Sooo many questions left to answer.
When several layers are selected, select their render, similar to how
"edit-copy-visible" would have copied an image with only these layers
made visible.
Also apply the same logics to PDB function gimp_edit_copy() which can
now be used on several drawables at once.
By default the new API will be used. But if we build with
GIMP_DEPRECATED_REPLACE_NEW_API macro, then the same function names will
call the old API with ids.
This way, we don't have to update all our plug-ins at once (which I
tried and is very tedious work).
Note that bindings won't have access to the deprecated API at all.
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).
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.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).

Completed the new file structure. Yet only few of the _pdb.[ch]
files are based upon generated code and nothing is really
autogenerated...
* app/Makefile.am
* app/gdisplay_cmds.c -> app/display_cmds.c
* app/gimage_cmds.c -> app/image_cmds.c
* app/gimage_mask_cmds.c -> app/selection_cmds.c
* app/internal_procs.c: related change
* libgimp/Makefile.am
* libgimp/gimp.h
* libgimp/gimp_pdb.h
* libgimp/gimpdisplay_pdb.[ch]
* libgimp/gimpimage_pdb.[ch]

generated using pdbgen
