Add an option to record a performance log through the dashboard.
The log contains a series of samples of the dashboard variables, as
well as the full program backtrace, when available. As such, it
essentially acts as a built-in profiler, which allows us to
correlate program execution with the information available through
the dashboard. It is meant to be used for creating logs to
accompany perofrmance-related bug reports, as well as for profiling
GIMP during development.
The sample frequency defaults to 10 samples per second, but can be
overridden using the GIMP_PERFORMANCE_LOG_SAMPLE_FREQUENCY
environment variable. Backtraces are included by default when
available, but can be suppressed using the
GIMP_PERFORMANCE_LOG_NO_BACKTRACE environment variable.
Logs are created through the new "record" button at the bottom of
the dashboard dialog. When pressed, a file dialog is opened to
select the log file, and, once confirmed, data is being recorded to
the selected file. Recording is stopped by pressing the "record"
button again (we use a highlight to indicate that recording is
active.)
While recording, the "reset" button is replaced with an "add marker"
button, which can be used to add event markers to the log. These
can be used to mark events of interest, such as "started painting"
and "stopped painting", which then appear in the log as part of the
sample stream. Markers are numbered sequentually, and the number
of the next (to-be-added) marker appears on the button. Shift-
clicking the button adds an empty (description-less) marker, which
is only identified by its number; this can be used when markers
need to be added quickly.
The log is an XML file, containing some extra information (such as
the output of "$ gimp -v", and symbol information) in addition to
the samples. The data in the file is delta-encoded to reduce the
file size, meaning that samples (as well as some other elements)
only specify the changes since the previous sample. This adds a
necessary decoding step before data can be processed; the next
commit adds a tool that does that.
There are currently no tools to actually analyze the data -- that's
still TBD -- but at least we can start gathering it.
This is using GTK+3 widgets, so I make sure to keep it well separated
from core code. The gimp-2-10 version will have to rework the GUI, but
the GtkListBox and GtkSwitch are nice and make things easier, so it is
worth using them here).
The zoom focus discussion on IRC suggests that everybody is annoyed
about centering behavior (or lack thereof), so here is a way to
explicitly center the image witout zooming.
Refactor GimpDashboard to autogenerate the UI based on a
description of the different variables, fields, and groups.
Allow individual groups to be expanded/collapsed, and individual
fields to be enabled/disabled. Save the relevant state in the
dashboard's aux-info.
Add fields for the new GeglStats properties, as per GEGL commit
25c39ce6c9bb618f06ac96d118e624be66464d74. The new fields are not
enabled by default.
Add "reset" action, to clear the history, and reset cumulative
data.
The dashboard dockable shows the current GEGL cache and swap sizes,
and their recent history. It has options to control the update
rate and history duration of the data, and an option to warn (by
raising/blinking the dialog) when the swap size approaches its
limit.
Add "In Place" variants for all sorts of pasting:
- extend the GimpPasteType enum with IN_PLACE values
- add the needed actions and menu items
- merge the action callbacks into one, taking an enum value as parameter
- refactor the pasting code in gimp-edit.c into smaller functions
We probably have too menu items in the "Edit" menu now, needs to be
sorted out.
Currently, the error console is highlighted (shown/blinked) only
upon errors; however, warnings, which are not shown on the
statusbar while the error console is open, often also contain
important information.
Allow the user to configure which message types (errors, warnings,
and regular messages) highlight the error console, using a new
"highlight" submenu in the error-console menu. Add corresponding
config options, saved in sessionrc. By default, highlight the
error console unpon both errors and warnings.
- trailing whitespaces cleaned out;
- vectors are called "path" in all visible strings;
- do not check for floating selection and active channel: oppositely to
layers, a vector can be selected in the same time as a channel, and
while there is a floating selection.
by encoding them directly in the string attached to all filter
actions. The code now supports both "gegl:some-operation" and
"gegl:some-operation\n<serialized config>".
Add "default_settings" to GimpGeglProcedure to store the settings of
the invoking action, much like the "default_run_mode" member.
Change filters-commands.c to parse the new operation string, create
GimpGeglProcedures with the deserialized settings, and use those
settings when the procedures are ran.
Change the filter history to be smarter about what is already in the
history, there can now be several different procedures with the same
name.
Remove the dilate and erode actions from the drawable group, and add
them to filters, they are just special cases of value-propagate with
fixed settings.
so they show up in recent filters, and don't need their own callbacks.
This has the problem that they now show a GUI with no options, but
that simply puts on more pressure to fix this general uglyness of ops
without editable properties.
Add property "color-tag" of type enum GimpColorTag to GimpItem so all
layers, channels and paths can be tagged with a color.
For interoperability, use the color list from Krita which is a
superset of Photoshop's colors.
Features a "Color Tag" submenu in the layers, channels and paths
menus, a row of color radio buttons in the properties dialogs,
undo and PDB API.
As a side effect, some common code is now factores out into
items-actions.[ch] and items-commands.[ch] which adds visible, linked
and lock actions for layers and channels.
Have "Save" and "Restore" buttons in both the tool preset list/grid
and the tool preset editor. The save button stores the active tool's
options in the preset, if possible.
Quite heavily modified by Mitch to address the more general issues
mentioned in comment 35 of the bug:
- Remember the added mask's type and the invert boolean in
GimpDialogConfig
- Add new prefs page "Dialog Defaults" which will contain
only stuff from GimpDialogConfig and can be reset separately
- Remove static mask variables from layers-commands.c and
use the new config values for both interactive mask adding
with the dialog, and for the shortcut based method
- Add a button to the layers dialog which supports add, add
with last values, delete, apply
- Add modifier-click shortcuts on the layer preview with the
same modifiers as on the button
Add a View -> Color Management submenu that allows to change
the color management mode per-display.
Internally, keep a GimpColorConfig object around per-display that
is synchronized with the global config except for the properties
that have a per-display GUI (currently the mode).
Also provide an "As in Preferences" menu item to follow the global
settings again.
which are essentially a copy of the stroking GUI. We now can fill the
exact shape outlined by stroking selections and paths. Suggestions for
the menu item labels are welcome.
You can now set any paint tool to mirror painting relatively
horizontal/vertical axis or a central point (any combination of these 3
symmetries).
This has been implemented as a new multi-stroke core, where every stroke
is actually handled as a multi-stroke (default of size 1).
This is also the first usage of custom guides for symmetry guiding.
Current version has to be activated in the playground.
- GimpContext API and property
- a GimpDataFactory
- List and grid views with GimpDataFactoryView
- actions and a context menu
None of this is connected to the actual tool yet, or depends on
libmypaint in any way.
Keep only one menu item per precision, and have two separate radio
menu items for gamma/linear. Also add gamma/linear radio buttons to
the precision conversion dialog.
