We currently construct the tool-options GUI for all the tools at
startup, which takes a significant amount of time. Instead,
only register the GUI construction function with the tool-options
object, using the new gimp_tools_set_tool_options_gui_func()
function, and use the registered function to construct the GUI when
actually needed.
and remove all other tool options parent setting/unsetting and
property copying code. Also select a tool at the end of
tool_manager_init() so it is in sync with what the tool options
manager does.
Add a framework for saving and restoring internal data objects, in
gimp-internal-data.c. Internal data objects are saved in separate
files under a new "internal-data" subdirectory of the user's gimp
directory. The internal data is saved, restored, and cleared
together with the tool options.
Use this to save and restore the custom gradient. In the future,
we might add similar writable internal data objects that we'd want
to save.
The tool manager still keeps an active tool which it unrefs on
destruction, triggering a final HALT on the tool, which may want to
lookup tool options to reset something. Happened with the new
widget-ported rectangle select tool.
The interaction is fully restored, it's also ported to the new halt()
and commit() API of tools and semi-properly GEGLized: the gradient map
is now constructed on the fly using a GimpTileHandlerValidate
subclass.
The only problem is that it doesn't find any edges in the image and is
totally useless. Pushing anyway to put an end to the bitrot, any help
with debugging is greatly appreciated...
Add new tool GimpHandleTransformTool which allows to freely place up
to 4 handles on the image, then move any one of them, which transforms
the image so that the remaining handles keep their position.
Did quite some cleanup on the code before pushing --Mitch
gimp_directory_file(), gimp_data_directory_file() etc. The new
functions take a variable list of path elements to the file,
the list has to be NULL-terminated. Remove the newly added
gimp_personal_rc_gfile(). Start using the new functions in app/.
Instead, keep around a GimpFilteredContainer in GimpToolInfo that
maintains a per-tool list of presets from the global preset factory.
Turn the tool options dialog's preset Save/Restore/Edit/Delete menus
and buttons into shortcuts for managing the active tool's presets.
...and with them all references their widgets keep (which are a lot).
Take ownership of the widget after creating it, so it can be reliably
unrefed upon exit.
