Various plug-ins exporting metadata should now follow preferences, which
would override any default. Of course these preferences can still be
overriden by saved settings (global parasite), previous run settings,
and finally through the GUI when interactive.
Set use_orig_quality when both the quality and the subsampling are the
same as in the originally-imported jpeg.
Also improve subsampling initial selection: use the original subsampling
unless the default one is the best or the original one is the worst.
The current code was wrong and would often use the default subsampling
even when worse than the original one.
Return flags based on what metadata is actually present in the image.
Returning of a suggested value for GIMP_METADATA_SAVE_THUMBNAIL needs
support from gimp_image_metadata_load_prepare() and is still missing.
Port all plug-ins to use the new API, the suggested values are however
overridden by parasites and whatever special code was devised for the
individual plug-ins. This needs to be fixed.
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().
start with flags = ALL (which now includes all possible current and
future flags), and optionally *remove* individual flags instead of
adding them. This way the plug-ins default to TRUE for future flags.
So the plug-in has the chance to decide whether it wants to trust the
metadata information (e.g. resolution). Also reorder parameters in
gimp_image_metadata_save_finish(). Change all plug-ins accordingly.
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
This was discussed in #gimp. The old label was "Frequency (rows)"
which is misleading. This field is basically converted by libjpeg
to another value called a restart interval which is stored in a
JPEG file. The restart interval specifies after how many MCUs
the restart (syncronization) marker appears in the bitstream.
It is not easy to explain to a layperson what an MCU is.
The value in the dialog specifies after how many *MCU rows* the
restart marker appears. This is a libjpeg thing, and libjpeg
converts it to the restart interval.
I have merely renamed the text label of the field and PDB
description as the current text implies pixel rows which is not
the case.
A better alternative is to use the restart interval (in MCUs,
not MCU rows) as saved in the file itself, which more people
than users of libjpeg would understand. But even that setting
is not something that can easily be explained to a layperson.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).
