They are unreliable because every type checking cast discards them,
they are useless anyway, visual clutter, added inconsistently, and
generally suck. Wanted to do this a long time ago, it was a bad idea
in the first place.
instead of just a boolean "convert_profile". This takes the logic to
figure the right target profile out of gimp_layer_convert_type(), it
can't possibly know everything about how to convert anyway, and having
the logic in the callers conveniently splits it up and distributes its
parts to the places they belong.
This commit should cause no behavor change and is just preparation for
fixing bug 765176.
also add "GType old_type" to GimpItem::convert() so implementations
can do things depending on the type of the original item.
In gimp_layer_convert(), if the original item is also a layer, and
color management is not off (with a FIXME because this is the wrong
check), pass convert_profile = TRUE to gimp_drawable_convert_type().
There is no color profile conversion anywhere behind this, this is
just an API change commit.
- Add new enum GimpComponentType which contains u8, u16, u32 etc.
- Change GimpPrecision to be u8-linear, u8-gamma, u16-linear etc.
- Add all the needed formats to gimp-babl.c
- Bump the XCF version to 5 and make sure version 4 with the old
GimpPrecision enum values is loaded correctly
This change blows up the precision enums in "New Image" and
Image->Precision so we can test all this stuff. It is undecided what
format will be user-visible options in 2.10.
Add "linear" parameter to GimpApplicator. Pass the drawable's "linear"
to the applicator, and to all calls to gimp_gegl_mode_node_set_mode(),
instead of hardcoding FALSE everywhere.
Add a boolean "is-last-node" property to GimpDrawable and set it from
GimpDrawableStack, which is the place that easily has the information.
In GimpLayer, connect to "notify" and make sure we use NORMAL mode
unless the layer is in NORMAL or DISSOLVE mode.
but only to the virtual function, not the public API. Implement it in
GimpSelection and GimpLayerMask, and pass the correct mask format down
to the parent class which does the actual conversion.
Add "layer_dither_type" and "mask_dither_type" to
GimpDrawable::convert_type(), pass around the dither type from the
dialog, and implement dithering using gegl:color-reduction.
Add GimpOperationMaskComponents, enum GimpComponentMask, and image and
drawable infrastructure to get the right mask, and plug the mask
operation into gimp_gegl_create_apply_buffer_node().
- keep babl palette formats around in the image in indexed mode
- create drawables with the right format
- as first test, convert indexed drawabled to rgb/gray by simply
calling gegl_buffer_convert()
