… a GimpProcedureConfig for arguments.
This also factorizes the code to load metadata. By default, a GimpLoadProcedure
will try and load metadata from a file (if Exiv2 knows the format). The run()
function will be allowed to edit the GimpMetadata object but also the load flags
before it is actually attached to the image, allowing plug-ins to have custom
metadata handling code when needed.
Developers won't have to maintain manually a list of the possible values in the
help string. It can now be generated from the GimpChoice and will be therefore
ensured to always be up-to-date, and nicely formatted.
I also add some pango markup to the type helper texts to differentiate it from
the main argument docs.
Simplifies chooser widgets (e.g. GimpBrushSelect) by eliminating attributes (e.g. opacity) of chosen resource.
See #8745, but this commit fixes that by first refactoring the code.
Refactors GUI widgets (e.g. GimpBrushSelectButton and GimpBrushSelect etc.)
Refactor by "Extract class" GimpResourceSelectButton from GimpBrushSelectButton etc.
This moves common code into an inherited class (formerly called GimpSelectButton)
but the subclasses still exist.
The subclasses mainly just do drawing now.
Refactor by "Extract module" GimpResourceSelect from GimpBrushSelect etc.
Moves common code into one file, generic at runtime on type of GimpResource,
that is, the new code dispatches on type i.e. switch statements.
In the future, when core is changed some of that can be deleted.
The files gimpbrushselect.[c,h] etc. are deleted.
The module adapts the API from core to the API of callbacks to libgimp.
Note that core is running the resource chooser (select) widgets remotely.
Core is still calling back over the wire via PDB with more attributes
than necessary.
The new design gets the attributes from the resource themselves,
instead of receiving them from core callback.
The libgimp side adapts by discarding unneeded attributes.
In the future, core (running choosers for plugins) can be simplified also.
Fix gimp_prop_chooser_brush_new same as other resources.
Finish changes, and clean style.

intltool has long been dead upstream. Let's not poke the dead corpse,
please.
This commit is quite large, but that's mostly since trying to support a
hybrid of both gettext and intltool with both Meson and Autotools was
really hard, so I stopped trying.
Due to gettext relying on quite some things being at the exactly right
place in the autotools build (like `ABOUT-NLS` and `config.rpath`) we
really needed to cleanup the `autogen.sh` to only call `aclocal` and
`autoreconf`. No more strange magic; I tried to do it without changing
too much in the file, and things just broke. If people want to do
something more custom, they can just change the script directly. This
change also uncovered some problems in our `configure.ac`, like using
deprecated macros.
The following major changes happened:
* meson: Changed `custom_target()` to `i18n.merge_file()` for all
supported file types
* Added `.its` and `.loc` files for the GIMP-specific XML formats, so
that gettext understands them
* For the `.isl` (Window installer stuff) file, there's no easy way to
do this in gettext, so instead we start from an XML file (again with
its own ITS rules etc), translate that with gettext, and then use
`xsltproc` with a bit of magic to output the .isl file for each
language
* the `po*/Makefile.in.in` files are migrated to `Makevars` files,
which gettext natively understands.

Orientation is now handled by core code, just next to profile conversion
handling.
One of the first consequence is that we don't need to have a non-GUI
version gimp_image_metadata_load_finish_batch() in libgimp, next to a
GUI version of the gimp_image_metadata_load_finish() function in
libgimpui. This makes for simpler API.
Also a plug-in which wishes to get access to the rotation dialog
provided by GIMP without loading ligimpui/GTK+ (for whatever reason)
will still have the feature.
The main advantage is that the "Don't ask me again" feature is now
handled by a settings in `Preferences > Image Import & Export` as the
"Metadata rotation policy". Until now it was saved as a global parasite,
which made it virtually non-editable once you checked it once (no easy
way to edit parasites except by scripts). So say you refused the
rotation once while checking "Don't ask again", and GIMP will forever
discard the rotation metadata without giving you a sane way to change
your mind. Of course, I could have passed the settings to plug-ins
through the PDB, but I find it a lot better to simply handle such
settings core-side.
The dialog code is basically the same as an app/dialogs/ as it was in
libgimp, with the minor improvement that it now takes the scale ratio
into account (basically the maximum thumbnail size will be bigger on
higher density displays).
Only downside of the move to the core is that this rotation dialog is
raised only when you open an image from the core, not as a PDB call. So
a plug-in which makes say a "file-jpeg-load" PDB call, even in
INTERACTIVE run mode, won't have rotation processed. Note that this was
already the same for embedded color profile conversion. This can be
wanted or not. Anyway some additional libgimp calls might be of interest
to explicitly call the core dialogs.
Mostly the same code as GimpProcedure in app/pdb/.
Move the "run" function to GimpProcedure. Add API to GimpPlugIn to
list and create procedures, and always keep a list of the plug-ins
procedures around. Still only using the old params and return_vals.
Set the tooltip in GimpColorHexEntry itself and remove all other
tooltip setting. This just moves the translatable string sround in
libgimpwidgets/, and even removes it from app/.
Based on original patches from Hartmut Kuhse and modified
by Michael Natterer. Changes include:
- remove libexif dependency and add a hard dependency on gexiv2
- typedef GExiv2Metadata to GimpMetadata to avoid having to
include gexiv2 globally
- add basic GimpMetadata handling functions to libgimpbase
- add image and image file specific metadata functions to libgimp,
including the exif orientation image rotate dialog
- port plug-ins to use the new APIs
- port file-tiff-save's UI to GtkBuilder
- add new plug-in "metadata" to view the image's metadata
- keep metadata around as GimpImage member in the core
- update the image's metadata on image size, resolution and precision
changes
- obsolete the old metadata parasites
- migrate the old parasites to new GimpMetadata object on XCF load

Next step towards fixing bug #344818:
* libgimp/gimp.[ch]: keep the last error status and error
message
in libgimp. Added new functon gimp_pdb_get_error() that allows
to
retrieve it.
* libgimp/gimp.def: updated.
* plug-ins/pygimp/gimpmodule.c (pygimp_vectors_import_from_file)
(pygimp_vectors_import_from_string): use the new function to get
a more useful error message.
