This is the consequence of previous commit. Plug-ins' label and
documentation are now localized before sending these data to GIMP core.
In other words, we replace N_() macros with basic gettext calls.
Hence avoiding the stderr messages. These are going to be localized with
centrally installed catalogs "gimp*-std-plugins", "gimp*-script-fu" and
"gimp*-python".
We now handle core plug-in localizations differently and in particular,
with kind of a reverse logic:
- We don't consider "gimp*-std-plugins" to be the default catalog
anymore. It made sense in the old world where we would consider the
core plug-ins to be the most important and numerous ones. But we want
to push a world where people are even more encouraged to develop their
own plug-ins. These won't use the standard catalog anymore (because
there are nearly no reasons that the strings are the same, it's only a
confusing logic). So let's explicitly set the standard catalogs with
DEFINE_STD_SET_I18N macro (which maps to a different catalog for
script-fu plug-ins).
- Doing something similar for Python plug-ins which have again their own
catalog.
- Getting rid of the INIT_I18N macro since now all the locale domain
binding is done automatically by libgimp when using the set_i18n()
method infrastructure.
Let's sync with the proposal in !571 after discussing with Jacob. The
shorter naming is fine and the '-info' suffix feels a bit redundant
anyway. Also since this arg never even existed in GIMP 2.10 (until !571
which is soon to be merged), there is really not even a historical
reason.
While doing this cleanup, I found at least several other string leaks
in: file-compressor, file-gegl, file-pdf-save, file-raw-data, file-xwd,
jpeg-load, psd-save…
So it's quite worth it!
Note: in file-pdf-save, there is a global variable file_name which seems
to be happily leaked without caring (didn't look in details, but looks
so). I didn't fix this one which will require a bit more in-depth logics
care.
When exporting to bmp using a script or plug-in we could not set the
parameters use-rle, write-color-space-info, and rgb-format when used
non-interactively.
This is discussed in issue #491. The patch there does not work for master,
so I came up with this.
For 1-bit BMP export we did not show the save dialog, making it
impossible to change settings interactively.
We enable the save dialog for 1-bit too, making sure to disable RLE, which
is not available for 1-bit.
In addition, also set the RLE config option to false for all cases where
it can't be used.
The gimp_drawable_type() is an issue though as gimp_drawable_get_type()
is already defined as a common GObject API.
Though I'm actually wondering if GimpImageType is well called. Rather
than Type, shouldn't we go with ColorModel?
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_bpp\>/gimp_drawable_get_bpp/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_width\>/gimp_drawable_get_width/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_height\>/gimp_drawable_get_height/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_offsets\>/gimp_drawable_get_offsets/g' "$@"
GIMP was exporting certain BMP images with 1, 4, 8 and 24 bpp
with an incorrectly set value of BI_BITFIELDS for compression,
see issue #6144.
According to the specification this is not supported but testing
shows that many image viewers and editors load these
images correctly.
Since allowing these unsupported values for bpp does not
seem to have any negative side effects and is easy to
implement let's add this.
The Microsoft specification for BITMAPV5HEADER says that
BI_BITFIELDS is valid for 16 and 32-bits per pixel, but we
were also using this flag for other values of bpp when
no rle compression was used.
Since this specification doesn't mention 24 bpp or other
values use BI_RGB instead.
This commit just changes our saving API (i.e. the GimpSaveProcedure
class) to take an array of drawables as argument instead of a single
drawable.
It actually doesn't matter much for exporting as the whole API seems
more or less bogus there and all formats plug-ins mostly care only
whether they will merge/flatten all visible layers (the selected ones
don't really matter) or if the format supports layers of some sort. It
may be worth later strengthening a bit this whole logics, and maybe
allow partial exports for instance.
As for saving, it was not even looking at the passed GimpDrawable either
and was simply re-querying the active layer anyway.
Note that I don't implement the multi-selection saving in XCF yet in
this commit. I only updated the API. The reason is that the current
commit won't be backportable to gimp-2-10 because it is an API break. On
the other hand, the code to save multi-selection can still be backported
even though the save() API will only pass a single drawable (as I said
anyway, this argument was mostly bogus until now, hence it doesn't
matter much for 2.10 logics).
This gives a big cleanup in the meson.build files of the plug-ins.
It's also quite a bit more maintainable, since anything that changes in
libgimp's dependencies, linkage, ... doesn't have to be copy-pasted into
each plug-in.
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.
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.
I am going to forbid plug-ins from being installed directly in the root
of the plug-ins/ directory. They will have to be installed in a
subdirectory named the same as the entry point binary.
This may seem useless for our core plug-ins which are nearly all
self-contained in single binaries, but this is actually a necessary
restriction to eliminate totally the DLL hell issue on Windows. Moving
core plug-ins in subfolders is only a necessary consequence for it.
...in both the core and libgimp.
Images now know what the default mode for new layers is:
- NORMAL for empty images
- NORMAL for images with any non-legacy layer
- NORMAL_LEGAVY for images with only legacy layers
This changes behavior when layers are created from the UI, but *also*
when created by plug-ins (yes there is a compat issue here):
- Most (all?) single-layer file importers now create NORMAL layers
- Screenshot, Webpage etc also create NORMAL layers
Scripts that create images from scratch (logos etc) should not be
affected because they usually have NORMAL_LEGACY hardcoded.
3rd party plug-ins and scripts will also behave old-style unless they
get ported to gimp_image_get_default_new_layer_mode().
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.
and clean up the formatting of the call and the lines around it. Now
we can check the various (disabled) export options for regressions
again by changing a single line in gimp_export_image().
It's about importing in fact.
Parse BITMAPV4HEADER / BITMAPV5HEADER and use GIMP's BMP
implementation instead of using gdk_pixbuf.
Also, remove an old hack about 32bits bmp v3 + alpha. The alpha
channel is already ignored in that case.
These were erroneously parsed before. Now we reject them. It is
trivial to implement support for them, but we can't test it unless
someone comes up with a sample BMP file. They don't seem to be
available in the wild.
