This fixes#5838 which was caused by an incomplete port
of this plug-in to the new introspection API.
For now we do keep the n_drawables parameter of save_ora until
issue #5312 is fixed. Not doing this would cause saving to fail.
Since meson 0.43.0 (below our current requirement), 'symbol_prefix'
argument of gnome.generate_gir() allows an ordered list. If I prepend
'gimp_ui', it makes any gimp_ui_*() function to not start with 'ui_'.
In particular, GimpUi.ui_init() becomes GimpUi.init() which is much less
redundant.
shadow_bevel.py and sphere.py are unfinished and have been in the
"Unstable" only builds for years. This is probably not worth porting
them. Let's just delete them.
I have actually move these (as well clothify and whirlpinch removed
yesterday) to the gimp-data-extras repository so if anyone wants to
revive them, and port them to GIMP 3, they can start off from there.
Following Elad Shahar advice (cf. #4368), let's delete whirlpinch.py and
clothify.py.
The rational is that whirlpinch.py does the same thing as the existing
"plug-in-whirl-pinch" which is itself a compat plug-in to
"gegl:whirl-pinch" operation. Also the Python file has an explicit
command saying it is exactly the same algorithm, yet with no preview and
slower. Finally it was not even installed on stable build. It doesn't
look like there is any reason to keep it (it was probably a demo/test
Python plug-in).
As for clothify.py, a quick look at the short code shows it is exactly
the same algorithm as clothify.scm, with the same arguments and
installed on the same `Filters > Artistic` menu (except that the Python
version is not installed on stable builds).
So let's just keep the script-fu version as it has been the used version
until now, and there is no deprecation going on in one side or another.
So let's keep what already works.
Since the patch was initially contributed, some parts of the
introspection changed. First all GUI-related code is in a GimpUi module
now.
Also Gimp.get_pdb().run_procedure() is now using a list instead of a
GimpValueArray.
Note by reviewer (Jehan): merging this port as it was in GIMP 2.10
anyway, but is this even still needed code? This plug-in is not even
available on stable release, it looks like for-development only
benchmark, and I'm not sure if it's relevant anymore, especially in our
GEGL-fueled new world.
Please anyone who knows a bit more on the history of this plug-in and
the evolution of our gimp_drawable_foreground_extract() algorithm, feel
free to weigh in and tell us what this was for exactly and if it's still
relevant.
This is a basic port without any UI.
Invoking the plugin will just sort the entire palette based on
default parameters.
The original plugin had several broken options, which I tried to fix.
Plug-ins that work from different bindings probably want to use their
own list-type to specify arguments, rather than working with a more
cumbersome `GimpValueArray`.
This new API should make it less verbose. For example:
```
args = Gimp.ValueArray.new(5)
args.insert(0, GObject.Value(Gimp.RunMode, Gimp.RunMode.NONINTERACTIVE))
args.insert(1, GObject.Value(Gimp.Image, image))
args.insert(2, GObject.Value(Gimp.Drawable, mask))
args.insert(3, GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_INT, int(time.time())))
args.insert(4, GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE, turbulence))
Gimp.get_pdb().run_procedure('plug-in-plasma', args)
```
becomes
```
Gimp.get_pdb().run_procedure('plug-in-plasma', [
GObject.Value(Gimp.RunMode, Gimp.RunMode.NONINTERACTIVE),
GObject.Value(Gimp.Image, image),
GObject.Value(Gimp.Drawable, mask),
GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_INT, int(time.time())),
GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE, turbulence),
])
```
Reduce number of undo steps created by Spryrogimp previews.
First, by grouping them into a single undo.
The implementation adds a function for clearing the
incremental preview drawing that is being executed as an idle task,
and closing an undo group in case the preview left it open (which
would usually be the case). A second way to reduce undos is
by generating a new preview only upon mouse button release of
scales in the UI, and not while dragging the scale.
Just "Console" is enough in the context of menus with submenu hierarchy,
but when accessing directly the feature (with Action Search for
instance), a more accurate name is nicer. It avoids to have to check
what is what in the tooltip text.
Add visual tab to spyrogimp plugin for a more intuitive, visual
way of specifying the spyrograph pattern.
In addition, fix using the selection as the fixed gear, and add
option to save the pattern to a path.
Without the write permission for the owner, the `make install-plug-ins`
special target fails on Python plug-ins. And anyway I don't see a reason
why not give write permission to the owner (like all other plug-ins are
installed).
There is no reason to limit it to "xhtml" only. Even more, in all
browsers I tried, the exported page was failing to load with the '.xtml'
extension, while it loads fine when renamed as '.html'.
Only problem is that now we have 2 plug-ins able to save as html (other
is file-html-table) and the first in the procedure list (with no
explicit logics right now) will just shadow the next one. We will have
to add some generic infrastructure to allow people to choose favorite
load/export plug-ins, probably in Preferences, next to the raw plug-in
selection.
paste as brush, paste as pattern, select to new brush, select to new pattern
fill selection outline, fill path, stroke selection, distort, rounded rectangle
indexed color conversion, merge visible layers, new guide, new guide (by percent)
image properties, newsprint, fractal explorer, sample colorize, new layer
metadata editor (just a button), spyroplus (only common buttons)
It is a nearly full port. Some things would still need to be updated
(like deprecated use of GtkTable or gtk_range_set_update_policy()
removed), and other stuff need to be taken care of in GIMP API first.
But the core of the feature is there.
There are 2 TODOs to take care of here. First, there is no GUI yet for
the interactive mode which will just use the default values.
Second, the color argument is not working yet because I had issues
passing a GimpRGB as argument (ideally I should create a GimpParamRGB
with gimp_param_spec_rgb(), but since we still have the pygobject bugs
about manipulating GParamSpec data directly, I can't).
Anyway it works with default values, which is already a good first step.
:-)
Apart from porting, only code logics change is the whole
encode()/decode() code because it created a string vs bytes mess and the
zipfile API apparently didn't like to deal with bytes, even though the
docs say otherwise.
It's hard to test on my UTF-8 system, so please anyone working with
non-UTF-8 paths, we welcome reports if ORA load/save does not work
properly.
Other than this, load, save and load_thumb were all tested and working
properly so far.
So it seems that whatever is in _SCRIPTS is not in the distribution by
default (I suppose the reason is that even scripts can be generated). So
let's add the non-generated scripts to EXTRA_DIST.
1/ First I realize we were still using AM_PATH_PYTHON() and not
AM_PATH_PYTHON3().
2/ We don't need to check anymore for pygtk, pycairo, nor do we need
Python headers. Everything is now taken care of by GObject
Introspection and we have nothing else to build GIMP-side.
3/ Change --enable-python into --with-python. We don't actually build
anything now. There is no Python support to enable or disable
anymore. We simply install Python plug-ins or not. The 3 values are
"yes" (default, configure breaks if a Python 3 interpreter is not
found), "no" (Python plug-ins are not installed, not recommended) and
"force" (install Python plug-ins anyway even if an interpreter is not
found; this can be useful especially for cross-compilation since
Python is not useful at build-time anymore).
Note that --with-python=force, if an interpreter is not found, the
file `pygimp.interp` won't be installed. This is not a problem at all
if the interpreter can be found at runtime the standard way.
Otherwise packagers should add themselves a pygimp.interp file with
the known interpreter path.
Oups, I left the plug-in as Python 2. This was still a good
proof-of-concept that GIMP 3 will support as well Python 2 and Python 3
(even though Python 2 is end-of-life soon anyway).
This first version will just offset by 1 in interactive mode, by
default. The GIMP 2 version used to have a GUI, but it was not created
by the plug-in itself. I am guessing that maybe our Python wrapper used
to create GUI by default.
If so, this will have to change. Python plug-ins will be responsible of
their own GUI, just like C plug-ins.
Older palette-to-gradient used to have a palette argument. Bring it
back. The logics is that if the string is empty or None, the procedure
will use the currently selected palette. Otherwise it will try to
transform the named palette into a gradient and will fail with an error
if this palette does not exist.
We have code for this in gimp_proc_browser_dialog_new(), but it cannot
be moved in the object init() because this is a construction-time only
property. So this needs to be passed from the python call too.
