Use the "activate-link" signal instead of "clicked" on tip links, so
that we can stop signal propagation.
Otherwise it opens "http://docs.gimp.org/" everytime.
After Alexandre Prokoudine's insistent demand! :-)
I am still not sure how wise this is, since this should be really
considered a "developer-only" option. Basically these tools are really
too buggy and unstable and we should not shine too much light on these.
The counter-argument is that doing so will favor the bitrot.
Well ok. At least let's add a big warning message at the top of the
Playground page, to make it very clear (if that were not already the
case) that basically this is not to be considered a secret feature, but
really more a "we are looking for contributors" option.
Add GimpGuiConfig::filter-tool-use-last-settings wchich defaults to FALSE.
Honor the new option in gimp_gegl_procedure_execute_async() and add
it to prefs -> dialog defaults.
A hidden feature of the action search dialog, is that actions can
be matched based on their label's initials. E.g., "gb" will match
"Gaussian blur". While very convenient, this feature is currently
limited to two-letter initialisms.
Extend initialism-based search, by matching arbitrarily-long
initialisms, and by allowing partial matches (with lesser
priority.)
... and rename gimp_action_history_excluded_action() to
gimp_action_history_is_excluded_action().
is_blacklisted_action() determines whether an action should be
excluded from *both* the history and the search results, while
is_excluded_action() determines if an action should be excluded
only from the history. This eliminates some redundancy across
gimpaction-history and action-search-dialog.
... g_find_program_in_path() instead of a test run.
I knew there was a `which` equivalency in glib but could no find it
anymore. I finally found it thanks to a comment by Rishi. :-)
which is just a #define to g_assert for now, but can now easily be
turned into something that does some nicer debugging using our new
stack trace infrastructure. This commit also reverts all constructed()
functions to use assert again.
If the backtrace() API is available, it should always be possible to
debug. Still, display a message whether or not gdb or lldb are present,
as preferred debugging solutions (much better traces).
Replacing the boolean property "generate-backtrace" by an enum
"debug-policy". This property allows one to choose whether to debug
WARNING, CRITICAL and FATAL (crashes), or CRITICAL and FATAL only, or
only FATAL, or finally nothing.
By default, a stable release will debug CRITICAL and crashes, and
unstable builds will start debugging at WARNINGs.
The reason for the settings is that if you stumble upon a reccurring bug
in your workflow (and this bug is not major enough for data corruption,
and "you can live with it"), you still have to wait for a new release.
At some point, you may want to disable getting a debug dialog, at least
temporarily. Oppositely, even when using a stable build, you may want to
obtain debug info for lesser issues, even WARNINGs, if you wish to help
the GIMP project.
It can be argued though whether the value GIMP_DEBUG_POLICY_NEVER is
really useful. There is nothing to gain from refusing debugging info
when the software crashed anyway. But I could still imagine that someone
is not interested in helping at all. It's sad but not like we are going
to force people to report. Let's just allow disabling the whole
debugging system.
The feature already exists in our code and produces backtraces upon a
crash into a file. The only difference is that we are now getting the
file contents and showing it in our new debug dialog, so that it works
similarly on all platform (and therefore making the debug info visible
to people, otherwise they would never report, even though the data is
generated).
The difference with gdb/lldb is that it doesn't allow backtraces at
random points (for debugging non-fatal yet bad errors). Also the API has
just 2 functions and in particular an ExcHndlInit() but no way to unload
the feature. So we don't need the debugging page in Preferences because
the switch option would not work. On Windows, the feature will be
decided at build time only.
Last point: the code is untested on Windows so far. I assume it would
work, but there is at least one point I am unsure of: will ExcHndl have
already generated the backtrace file when gimpdebug runs? If not, I will
have to let gimp die first to be able to get the backtrace.
This is just a bit more consistent with existing code. Also build the
gimpdebug tool only when GIMP_CONSOLE_COMPILATION is not set and run
when --no-interface CLI option is not set since it is a GUI tool.
This will determine whether to output backtrace in a GUI and is disabled
by default on stable, and activated in dev builds. It is a bit redundant
with --stack-trace-mode option CLI and will take priority when enabled
since most people would run GIMP with a graphical interface anyway.
GIMP will now try to get a backtrace (on Unix machines only for now,
using g_on_error_stack_trace(); for Windows, we will likely have to look
into DrMinGW).
This is now applied to CRITICAL errors only, which usually means major
bugs but are currently mostly hidden unless you run GIMP in terminal. We
limit to 3 backtraces, because many CRITICAL typically get into domino
effect and cause more CRITICALs (for instance when a g_return*_if_fail()
returns too early).
Oh blasphemy! The Wilber logo in the toolbox can now be disabled
directly via the Preferences dialog (on the Toolbox page).
The logo is staying enabled by default though. Long live Wilber!
Add "color-profile-path" to GimpDialogConfig to remember the last-used
path in any profile chooser dialog.
Whenever a GimpColorProfileChooserDialog is created, call a new
gimpwidgets-utils helper function that connects to the dialog's "show"
and "response" signals and makes sure "color-profile-path" is set on
the dialog if it doesn't have a current folder already, and sets the
property back to the config object when a profile was actually chosen
from disk.
Use a GimpSpinScale widget instead of scale entry cruft, it handles
the model vs. view factor of 100.0 correctly. Also modernize the GUI
without using a table.
The dashboard dockable shows the current GEGL cache and swap sizes,
and their recent history. It has options to control the update
rate and history duration of the data, and an option to warn (by
raising/blinking the dialog) when the swap size approaches its
limit.
Add gimp_item_get_merged_color_tag(), which returns the color tag
of the nearest ancestor (including the current item) that has a
color tag other than NONE. Use this function in GimpItemTreeView,
instead of gimp_item_get_color_tag(), to set the cell color of
items, so that item's with a NONE color tag inherit the color of
their parent. Add a boolean "inherited" parameter to
gimp_get_color_tag_color(), which indicates if the color tag is the
item's actual color tag, or an inherited color tag, and modify the
returned color accordingly, so that inherited colors are less
saturated/lighter than non-inherited ones.
To be used by the blend tool gradient editor to edit the gradient
endpoint/stop/midpoint properties corresponding to the selected
handle.
The GUI is currently empty; the following commits add its contents.
