The new function gimp_procedure_set_sensitivity_mask() allows plug-ins
to tell when a procedure should be marked as sensitive or not.
gimp_procedure_get_sensitivity_mask() retrieves this information.
Currently plug-ins are automatically marked as sensitive when an image
is present and a single drawable is selected. Nowadays, we can have
multiple selected layers so we should allow plug-ins to tell us if they
support working on multiple drawables. Actually we could even imagine
new plug-ins which would be made to work only on multiple drawables.
Oppositely, there are a lot of plug-ins which don't care at all if any
drawable is selected at all (so we should allow no drawable selected).
Finally why not even imagine plug-ins which don't care if no image is
shown? E.g. plug-ins to create new images or whatnot. This new API
allows our core to know all this and show procedure sensitivity
accordingly. By default, when the function is not called, the 1 image
with 1 drawable selected case is the default, allowing existing plug-ins
easier update.
Note: this only handles the sensitivity part right now. A plug-in which
would advertize working on several layer would still not work, because
the core won't allow sending several layers. It's coming in further
commits.
… gimp_image_policy_color_profile().
These functions allow a plug-in to explicitly execute the Rotation and
Profile conversion policies on an image (which may be any of
Rotating/Discarding/Ask or Converting/Keeping/Ask respectively). These
policies are automatically executed when loading an image from GIMP
interfaces, but they won't be when loading an image from the PDB. Then
it is up to the calling code to decide what to do (which can be either
some arbitrary code or following the user policy).
and in an attack of madness, changes almost all file plug-in
code to use GFile instead of filenames, which means passing
the GFile down to the bottom and get its filename at the very
end where it's actually needed.
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.
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.
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.
