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
Apply and heavily modify patch from remyDev which adds "lock position"
to GimpItem, similar to "lock content". Lock position disables all
sorts of translation and transform, from the GUI and the PDB.
Cleaned up some aspects of the lock content code as well because a
second instance of similar code always shows what went wrong the first
time.
Add gimp_plugin_enable_precision() in libgimp which switches the
plug-in to deal with the drawables' real precision, call it from the
libgimp GeglBuffer and Babl format APIs. If it's not enabled, let the
core's plug-in convert the tiles to legacy formats when sending them
over the wire.
Apply heavily modified patch from Es Swartz which adds PDB API for
brush size, angle and aspect ratio, as well as a full interface for
ink. Changed to patch to add all procedures to the "context" group
instead of creating new PDB groups, properly use the new
GimpPDBContext APIs for paint options, and did some general cleanup.
(Warning, completely untested).
Make gimp_image_get_uri() and gimp_image_get_filename() behave as in
the GIMP 2.6 days. Add new functions gimp_image_get_xcf_uri(),
gimp_image_get_exported_uri() and gimp_image_get_imported_uri().
and simply add them to the list of "compat_procs" which have a
replacement with identical signature. Move the libgimp C functions to
non-generated files.
