I find these options always a bit unwise when people have no idea how to change
their mind. Therefore adding a tooltip with the information (though maybe we
should even do it even more clearly and adding that in checkbox text too?).
For this to happen, I've updated the main question to be "Keep the Embedded
Working Space?" instead of "Convert to * Working Space?". Basically now we put
emphasis on keeping the image's color profile as being the proposed action.
Therefore "Keep" is the default answer, on the right.
Yet "Convert" stays on the right too. There is no "Cancel" button anymore
because it is not a question we can really escape even though "Esc" still works,
and it still corresponds to "Keep", same as Enter now. The reason is that "Keep"
is actually the non-destructive option. So if someone really doesn't want to
answer and make an explicit choice, we do it for them with the only
non-destructive choice possible.
Also I'm changing "Convert" mnemonic to 'c'. I guess that earlier devs might
have used 'o' because it is the usual mnemonic for "OK", so it was right when
the question was "Convert?". But since now the question is the opposite, there
is no reason to make it look like "OK". Let's just use the first letter, which
is easier to guess (and not taken by any other button here).
I've been hesitating because I don't think "Convert" was the right default
anymore with our anyRGB move. Until now, it was kinda implying that sRGB (when
no preferred color profile was set) was kinda the recommended space. It's not.
If a file already has another space, it's probably much better to keep it.
First because "Convert" is often a destructive change (even more if the target
is sRGB), so for people who don't necessarily understand all the ins and outs,
we were kinda promoting a destructive default behavior.
On the other hand (and that's why I was hesitating):
* "Keep" is also what happens when we hit "Esc" so some might complain that
there is no easy "Convert" key anymore (there is alt-c, but it's for sure not
as easy as Esc or Enter). Basically it makes the "Convert" option always a
much more explicit choice (yet it is likely for the best for people who care
about their colors).
* There might have been many people who would just use the default (Convert
until now) without thinking too much of what was asked, and that was working
good because they would just publish on the web or similar basic usage. If
they continue just accepting with Enter without reading and understanding what
is asked, now they could publish images with a color profile (and we know it
doesn't always work perfectly on the web).
In other words, it might be the best default for professional usage now, yet
it requires to understand a bit what you are doing.
It's really a hard call!
This kinda reverts commit 6aebd30de1 ("app: remove
icon sizing preferences"), except that the code base is different enough since
this old commit was mainly for GIMP 2.10.x.
In any case, after initially thinking that GTK+3 handling for high density
display would be enough, we finally decide that adding back a Preferences-wide
setting for overriding the theme-set icon size is a good idea (additionally to
GTK+3 automatic support).
The base idea for removing the feature was that GTK+3 has high density display
support, through the "scale factor". Typically a high density display will
normally be set as using a ×2 scale factor so all icons will be double size.
Unfortunately it turns out it's not enough.
For instance, on very small screen estate, even with a scale factor of 1, if the
theme sets 24px toolbox icons, it may still take too much space.
Oppositely on huge screens, even with ×2 factor scale detected by the OS, the
icons may still feel too small (this is possibly what happens with #7023).
Furthermore there is also a matter of taste. Some people like small icons even
when they have the space. Others may want bigger icons, easy to click on.
Finally you can like a theme for its color scheme for instance, but it may not
have the icon size you want. Right now, we'd need to duplicate every theme in
small or bigger size. Instead of doing so, let's just have this global setting
overriding the theme rules.
Comparison with the 2.10 implementation:
- We still provide 4 sizes: small, medium, large and huge.
- We don't have the "Guess ideal size" setting anymore. Instead this is now a
mix of the GTK+3 scale factor logic and the theme-set or custom size. I.e.
that on a high density display with ×2 scale factor, we could have toolbox
icons up to 96 pixels (48×2)!
- We now try to have less custom code in widgets as we append the CSS rules to
the theme (similar to what we were already doing for dark theme or icon
variants). What happens in widget code is mostly to connect to changes in
themes and redraw the widgets which need to be.
- The custom size will now affect: toolbox icons, the FG/BG editor widget (in
both the toolbox and the color dockable), dockable tab icons, the main
dockable buttons, eye and lock header icons in item tree views, eye and lock
cell icons in the item lists.
There are still a bunch of areas where it is not taken into account, such as
plug-ins, and various dialogs, but even in custom-made interface in dockables.
Ultimately it might be interesting to have a way to sync more buttons and
widgets to a global size settings.
Lastly, I fixed a bunch of existing bugs where we were updating icon sizes with
gtk_image_set_from_icon_name() using the const icon name taken from
gtk_image_get_icon_name(). As this was reusing the same string pointer, we were
ending with freeing the icon name.
This is shown in the About dialog when a new version is available, but
also in the debug dialog (also when a new version is available).
Of course, for stable versions, we should still show the main download
page (which I double-checked current code does).
Now that we bumped our meson requirement, meson is complaining about
several features now deprecated even in the minimum required meson
version:
s/meson.source_root/meson.project_source_root/ to fix:

Moving the "Space Bar", the "Snapping" and the new "Zoom" (MR !570)
settings there. The idea is that it will also be where we'll customize
more on-canvas related abilities, such as the new zooming behavior
preferences, but also possibility to customizing or disabling the
various canvas action, and finally customizing the new contextual
settings such as brush sizing or other.
Adds a dropdown for Simulation Profile, Intent, and BPC
to the Create a New Image dialog.
This allows users to assign a soft-proofing profile when the image is
first created. It defaults to "None", however. Users can also set the
default simulation rendering intent and BPC status per image.
These options are also removed from the Preferences dialog.
These changes make it possible to build against homebrew for mac
libraries. Homebrew stores it's libraries in seperate folders and so
blanket includes were not working.
PYTHONPATH is not needed and interferes with homebrew build.
This reverts commit 82f9ae1ab7.
This is not needed anymore. Cf. previous commit which implements the
force-requery differently and much more widely based on actual language
being stored and compared between runs.
… in the gimp-release file.
This will be useful to disable the update check for the Windows Store
even though we use the same build as the installer. All it will take
will be to append the line `check-update=false` to the file
`share/gimp/2.10/gimp-release` and it will behave as though the update
check is disabled (even though it is actually built-in).
- Slightly nicer layout for the checkboard color widgets.
- Also set the 2 color widgets insensitive when the check type is not
GIMP_CHECK_TYPE_CUSTOM_CHECKS.
- Default the custom colors to the same colors as the basic default
grayscale. I mean, red and blue defaults are fun and all, but that's
like radioactive colors burning the eyes! Ahahah!
- Unlike the gimp-2-10 commit (cf. !274), on the main dev branch, use
the new GimpLabelColor widget.

When you change a settings in Preferences which requires a restart of
GIMP, the current list was pretty ugly. I am still not fond of the popup
but at least now the list formatting is slightly better:
- Use a unicode bullet point character in UTF-8 encoding (since
gtk_message_dialog_new() expects UTF-8 input) on each list element,
instead of just writing them without any kind of formatting.
- Use the "nick" of the changed config, not the name. The "name" is an
internal string which is really not meant to be viewed by people,
while the "nick" is more like a short human-readable name or title,
exactly what we want to show here.
Some strings might be generated during query() call, in particular all
strings related to procedure parameters. The core will only know the
localized version at query() time, so you could end up in situation with
the core showing you the wrong language. This can be reproduced in the
Procedure Browser when it shows localized procedure data: when you
change the language and restart GIMP, if the plug-ins aren't re-queried,
then it will still show the localization of query time.
Note that it doesn't matter on plug-in side, i.e. anything in the run()
call is properly localized, included the plug-in GUI using the same
procedure parameters for widget labels or tooltips. Only the "vision" of
the core is stuck at what it got when the plug-in was last queried, and
until the next update of the plug-in.
Adds the new configuration option "drag-zoom-speed" to adjust the rate
at which mouse movement can zoom the canvas, ranging from 25% to 300%
of the base rate and applying to both drag-to-zoom modes.
This option can be found in the preferences dialog as:
Image Windows -> Zoom & Resize Behavior -> Drag-to-zoom speed
Adds a new configuration option "drag-zoom-mode" to choose whether to
zoom by distance of movement (newly added) or by duration of movement
(previous behavior) when zooming via dragging the mouse, defaulting to
distance.
This option can be found in the preferences dialog as:
Image Windows -> Zoom & Resize Behavior -> Drag-to-zoom behavior
- Rename "Mouse Pointers" frame to just "Pointers". It's not just about
mice but all input devices.
- Move the "Pointers" options from "Image Windows" to "Input Devices"
tab in Preferences. It looks to me it's more about how you configure
the device pointers than anything really image window-related.
- Move the paint tool options in their own frame "Paint Tools" to really
differentiate the generic pointer options from the ones specific to
paint tools. This frame is added side by side to the "Pointers" frame
to hopefully underline they are related.
I'm still annoyed by the fact that if you uncheck both the "Show brush
outline" and the "Show pointers for paint tools", it will actually show
a big crosshair in such case. I can understand the logic (not to end up
in a case with absolutely no indication of your pointer position). But
then shouldn't we rather forbid unchecking them both at once? It would
be clearer IMO. On the other hand, are they people who like this big
crosshair and use this?
Other thing I was annoyed about was whether you would not want to have
the "Single dot" only on paint tools. But as Aryeom told me, maybe let's
just try it like this and see if people ask for a double option (pointer
on paint tools vs. pointer on other tools) as it is already very
complicated settings as it is. I mean, at some point, I even thought
about a per-device pointer. I also studied the possibility of detecting
whether you are on a display-tablet (when you are more likely to want an
unobtrusive pointer) or not (then you may be very annoyed each time you
can't even spot easily your pointer on screen). But GTK doesn't give
this later information, and as Carlos reminded me, even a display-tablet
can be mapped to another display, so even if we could detect a
display-tablet, it would not mean it is reliable information for making
a decision on whether we want a light pointer.
Since we are pre-processing anyway the AppStream metadata file (because
appstream-glib doesn't pass unknown XML attributes, cf. a previous
commit), it does feel silly now to continue loading the file at runtime
too. Let's just pre-process more data into the constructed C files, i.e.
get the introduction paragraphs and the change items too.
The only other remaining advantage of appstream-glib was that it was
handling the localization but since we also have these localized strings
in our gettext files, we can as well translate with gettext as any other
strings and it works just fine.
It will also get rid of any packaging issue, forgetting to package the
metadata file (as we had on the Windows installer, and still have on the
macOS package). Now it will just always work because data is internal.
The changes include:
* A popover will be displayed on tool buttons and relevant property
widgets.
* Now the welcome dialog gives focus up to its parent window because
really the whole focus styling issue in GTK is a bit maddening. The
colors are all faded, the popover widgets are barely visible, and so
on.
* Timing is tweaked a bit to give more time reading the popover tips.
… blinking it.
This will be necessary to demo new features available only in some
situations. E.g. a new option in line art detection mode of bucket fill
would require said mode to be enabled.
First I strip now every pieces of text. What it allows it to span the
script elements for instance on several lines, indent them and all that.
The second thing is that since all the dockable start with "gimp-", we
may as well allow use shorter names (both are allowed). Same for tool
(which we special-case), all the tool buttons ID start with "tools-"
since we reused the action names. So let's just allow the shorter
versions.
Finally I create a new gimp_blink_toolbox() which is a specialized
gimp_blink_dockable() for the toolbox in particular. I also move there
the whole code about selecting the right tool.
Make a different bullet points for items with demos and items without,
and add an info text explaining you can click on items with the right
bullet point to get a demo.
Hopefully it will fix the following CI errors:
> make[4]: *** No rule to make target '../../tools/generate-welcome-dialog-data.py', needed by 'welcome-dialog-data.h'. Stop.
I thought using relative paths was fine too here, but I might have been
wrong (even though it worked locally).
Even when using a GtkListBox, it's just prettier and clearer when having
a text list with dots IMO, especially since some text might wrap on
several lines. Let's just go with that.
The idea is to add some "demo" attribute to a list item inside the
<release> tag, since we already decided that (for now at least) we'd
keep a strict "intro + list" logics, as we did until now.
This demo attribute uses an internal format to specify successive
widgets to blink (like a demo path towards a feature). For now, what it
allows is:
* raise the toolbox, select a tool and blink the tool button.
* raise a dockable, blink any widgets in there.
Now it is still limited and needs to evolve. In particular:
* What happens if the blinked tool button was explicitly removed from
Preferences? Should we re-add it for the demo? And once done, should
we remove it again? Then should we select back the tool previously
selected?
* What happens if the dockable widget is not visible? Should we allow
changing the settings to be able to demo correctly the new/changed
settings? Should it be temporary? If temporary, it can be annoying as
you'd still have to look attentively the demo to find back the path to
the new settings. If not temporary, some people may dislike we touch
their settings.
* What if docks are hidden? Should we unhide them, then hide them back
after demo time?
Also regarding the implementation: originally I wanted to just grab the
demo attribute directly from the AppStream metadata file, but I realized
that appstream-glib cleans out unknown attribute from the XML. I could
then simply parse the file with a generic XML parser, but I found
simpler to pre-parse it into a header built within GIMP. I still use
appstream-glib at runtime as it takes care of localization for us
(though in the same time, we also have the localization in the main po
files, so maybe we could just embed the release note strings as well).
See appstream-glib report: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/issues/431
What it means is that we will be a bit strict over our <release>
formatting which will have to always be a <p> introduction followed by a
list of items. This is what gimp_appstream_to_pango_markups() expects.
Since so far, this is how all our <release> tags were formatted anyway,
this is not too much of a problem.
Note that I keep the less strict gimp_appstream_to_pango_markup() and
use it for extension's appstream description as we will have no control
over these.
The main reason for this new rule and new display of our release notes
is that I am going to add the ability to click independent release items
so that people can get "blinking" indications of what changed when
relevant.
For some reason, our flatpak is moving the appstream file elsewhere,
after installation (since all our scripts explicitly install it under
metainfo/).
So in flatpak, it is in /app/share/appdata/ (i.e. $DATADIR/appdata/).
This is not right and should not be done by the flatpak system, but
let's still verify this other location as it is legacy so it would not
be totally impossible that some distributions do something similar when
packaging GIMP.

As Jacob reports in #6445, on a big-size monitor, the dialog is just too
big, this can be seen in particular with all the space left between info
text. Trying a new logic where I simply leave the dialog to be
allocated, then once I get its size, I generate an image roughly this
same size. This should avoid overly big images.
Thanks to Liam for the fix/feedback on IRC. There was a typo (s/if/it)
and some better wording proposition.

I realized the "recent-contributor" template was checking
`last-active >=2 and minor version >= 8`. Because of the second part of
this test, anyone with a last a last-active value of 3.0 was ironically
not included as recent contributors!
Meanwhile, I am bumping the definition of recent as 2.10 and over
(rather than 2.8 and over), for GIMP 3.0 release. Last thing, I am now
sorting by descending last-active (so contributors in GIMP 3.0 are shown
first).
There is really nothing specific to the core application, it is quite a
generic widget, so it would be nice for plug-ins to be able to use this
widget.
The 3 available formats are: simple text search, regular expressions and
glob patterns (cf. previous commit). I did a small step back from
previous commit by getting "is-pattern" property back in GimpItemList
instead of having this case as a value of GimpSelectMethod. The reason
is that it would render a useless value in the Preferences combo box.
Text search is the default.
Saving a thumbnail is closely related to the other metadata preferences,
but so far this was the only one that didn't have a preference for a
default user value.
This commit adds a preference in the metadata section where a user can
select whether thumbnail saving is enabled by default or not.
