Move swap/cache and temporary files out the GIMP user config dir:
libgimpbase: add gimp_cache_directory() and gimp_temp_directory()
which return the new default values inside XDG_CACHE_HOME and the
system temp directory. Like all directories from gimpenv.[ch] the
values can be overridden by environment variables. Improve API docs
for all functions returning directories.
Add new config file substitutions ${gimp_cache_dir} and
${gimp_temp_dir}.
Document all the new stuff in the gimp and gimprc manpages.
app: default "swap-path" and "temp-path" to the new config file
substitutions. On startup and config changes, make sure that the swap
and temp directories actually exist.
In the preferences dialog, add reset buttons to all file path pages.
A single icon theme can contain both regular and symbolic icons. Let's
give possibility to switch from one style to the other within GIMP
Preferences.
This won't work very well in all cases yet, especially if an icon theme
only has symbolic icons (and no regular ones) because of inconsistencies
in glib which are being fixed (patches which I submitted and which were
merged in glib on 2018-08-17).
So this will work as expected when we will bump our glib requirement to
whatever is the next release.
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.
Preview generation for layer groups is more expensive than for
other types of drawables, mostly since we can't currently generate
layer-group previews asynchronously. Add a preferences option for
enabling layer-group previews separately from the rest of the
layer/channel previews; both of these options are enabled by
default. This can be desirable regardless of performance
considerations, since it makes layer groups easily distinguishable
from ordinary layers.
In the preferences dialog, make the "dither images when promoting
to floating point" option insensitive when the "promote impoprted
images to floating point precision" option is unchecked.
...upon exporting an image
Step 1: make it configurable just like "Export EXIF" etc.
app, libgimp: add "export-color-profile" config option
Add it to the preferences dialog, and pass it on to plug-ins in the
GPConfig message. Add gimp_export_color_profile() to libgimp.
Nothing uses this yet.
Also remove all traces of it from the plug-in protocol and raise the
protocol version to 0x0100 (we now allow features and therefore
version bumps in stable, and the master protocol version should always
be higher). Fix the code that aborts plug-in startup on protocol
version mismatch, we can't use gimp_message() because we have no
protocol.
With GTK+3, high or low density is taken care by the screen scale
factor. Having a separate preferences for this is redundant, and likely
even wrong.
It may be interesting though to have a new preference later, which would
allow smaller scale icon sizing since some people like their icon
slightly smaller or bigger, and also when you are using screens whose
density is at a limit scale factor. Right now, this can be done through
themes, but a GUI settings may be interesting. If I add such feature,
let's just do it from scratch later.
Use a cairo surface with scale factor in the list cell, instead of
pixbuf property, so that the example icon keeps sharpness even on high
density (when possible, i.e with vector icons, or available high res
version).
Also if an example icon was not set, search for the symbolic variant
first, then fallback to non-symbolic.
GTK+ has the concept of theme variants, and in particular if we prefer
the dark variant of a theme. This can be chosen globally but also
per-application. Make this choice customizable in the Theme tab of
Preferences.
By default, the dark variant will be prefered.
After Alexandre Prokoudine's insistent demand! :-)
I am still not sure how wise this is, since this should be really
considered a "developer-only" option. Basically these tools are really
too buggy and unstable and we should not shine too much light on these.
The counter-argument is that doing so will favor the bitrot.
Well ok. At least let's add a big warning message at the top of the
Playground page, to make it very clear (if that were not already the
case) that basically this is not to be considered a secret feature, but
really more a "we are looking for contributors" option.
Add GimpGuiConfig::filter-tool-use-last-settings wchich defaults to FALSE.
Honor the new option in gimp_gegl_procedure_execute_async() and add
it to prefs -> dialog defaults.
... g_find_program_in_path() instead of a test run.
I knew there was a `which` equivalency in glib but could no find it
anymore. I finally found it thanks to a comment by Rishi. :-)
which is just a #define to g_assert for now, but can now easily be
turned into something that does some nicer debugging using our new
stack trace infrastructure. This commit also reverts all constructed()
functions to use assert again.
If the backtrace() API is available, it should always be possible to
debug. Still, display a message whether or not gdb or lldb are present,
as preferred debugging solutions (much better traces).
Replacing the boolean property "generate-backtrace" by an enum
"debug-policy". This property allows one to choose whether to debug
WARNING, CRITICAL and FATAL (crashes), or CRITICAL and FATAL only, or
only FATAL, or finally nothing.
By default, a stable release will debug CRITICAL and crashes, and
unstable builds will start debugging at WARNINGs.
The reason for the settings is that if you stumble upon a reccurring bug
in your workflow (and this bug is not major enough for data corruption,
and "you can live with it"), you still have to wait for a new release.
At some point, you may want to disable getting a debug dialog, at least
temporarily. Oppositely, even when using a stable build, you may want to
obtain debug info for lesser issues, even WARNINGs, if you wish to help
the GIMP project.
It can be argued though whether the value GIMP_DEBUG_POLICY_NEVER is
really useful. There is nothing to gain from refusing debugging info
when the software crashed anyway. But I could still imagine that someone
is not interested in helping at all. It's sad but not like we are going
to force people to report. Let's just allow disabling the whole
debugging system.
The feature already exists in our code and produces backtraces upon a
crash into a file. The only difference is that we are now getting the
file contents and showing it in our new debug dialog, so that it works
similarly on all platform (and therefore making the debug info visible
to people, otherwise they would never report, even though the data is
generated).
The difference with gdb/lldb is that it doesn't allow backtraces at
random points (for debugging non-fatal yet bad errors). Also the API has
just 2 functions and in particular an ExcHndlInit() but no way to unload
the feature. So we don't need the debugging page in Preferences because
the switch option would not work. On Windows, the feature will be
decided at build time only.
Last point: the code is untested on Windows so far. I assume it would
work, but there is at least one point I am unsure of: will ExcHndl have
already generated the backtrace file when gimpdebug runs? If not, I will
have to let gimp die first to be able to get the backtrace.
This is just a bit more consistent with existing code. Also build the
gimpdebug tool only when GIMP_CONSOLE_COMPILATION is not set and run
when --no-interface CLI option is not set since it is a GUI tool.
This will determine whether to output backtrace in a GUI and is disabled
by default on stable, and activated in dev builds. It is a bit redundant
with --stack-trace-mode option CLI and will take priority when enabled
since most people would run GIMP with a graphical interface anyway.
Oh blasphemy! The Wilber logo in the toolbox can now be disabled
directly via the Preferences dialog (on the Toolbox page).
The logo is staying enabled by default though. Long live Wilber!
Add "color-profile-path" to GimpDialogConfig to remember the last-used
path in any profile chooser dialog.
Whenever a GimpColorProfileChooserDialog is created, call a new
gimpwidgets-utils helper function that connects to the dialog's "show"
and "response" signals and makes sure "color-profile-path" is set on
the dialog if it doesn't have a current folder already, and sets the
property back to the config object when a profile was actually chosen
from disk.
- enable the setting code in gimp-gegl.c again
- but set the default to one thread in GimpGeglConfig, with a CPP warning
- rename "processors" to "threads" in the GUI
- add a warning box about unexpected results when increasing #threads
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.
Commit 4beff2f was basing it on the screen y PPI but that is not really
consistent or logical actually. Since the actual stroke dialog uses the
y resolution of the current image, it makes sense that the generic
stroke defaults in the preferences should use the y resolution of the
default image.
