- This is unneeded in all import procedures. See previous commit. Note though
that this is not because of a change in previous commit. This was already
useless previously. The file set with this PDB function was overridden by the
core anyway (i.e. even before the previous commits).
In app/file/file-import.c:file_import_image(), the imported file is correctly
set (so there is no need to set it from plug-in, which anyway libgimp's
gimp_image_set_file() was not doing) and the XCF file is reset to NULL
(rendering the call to gimp_image_set_file() in a GimpLoadProcedure useless).
- Similarly, this is a useless call in export procedures because
app/file/file-save.c:file_save() overrides such call too. I could only see one
such case for JPEG export, which was quite useless.
- Finally in other types of plug-ins, setting a non-XCF file extension was
interfering with the save feature (similarly to commit e6e73e14c7). I only
fixed the screenshot implementations doing such a thing.
- I left a few usages which will have to be looked at more in details later.
Write both ICC and NCLX boxes for RGB AVIF to make sure that
all browsers render the AVIF images in same manner.
Use heif_init/heif_deinit in libheif 1.13.0+
This is the consequence of previous commit. Plug-ins' label and
documentation are now localized before sending these data to GIMP core.
In other words, we replace N_() macros with basic gettext calls.
Hence avoiding the stderr messages. These are going to be localized with
centrally installed catalogs "gimp*-std-plugins", "gimp*-script-fu" and
"gimp*-python".
We now handle core plug-in localizations differently and in particular,
with kind of a reverse logic:
- We don't consider "gimp*-std-plugins" to be the default catalog
anymore. It made sense in the old world where we would consider the
core plug-ins to be the most important and numerous ones. But we want
to push a world where people are even more encouraged to develop their
own plug-ins. These won't use the standard catalog anymore (because
there are nearly no reasons that the strings are the same, it's only a
confusing logic). So let's explicitly set the standard catalogs with
DEFINE_STD_SET_I18N macro (which maps to a different catalog for
script-fu plug-ins).
- Doing something similar for Python plug-ins which have again their own
catalog.
- Getting rid of the INIT_I18N macro since now all the locale domain
binding is done automatically by libgimp when using the set_i18n()
method infrastructure.
libheif uses rav1e encoder by default to encode AVIF. However,
performance of AOM encoder got improved significantly, so
I think it is wiser to give preference to AOM, when both
AOM and Rav1e encoders are available.
Name of the used encoder is printed during export,
It can be: aom, rav1e, x265
The gimp_drawable_type() is an issue though as gimp_drawable_get_type()
is already defined as a common GObject API.
Though I'm actually wondering if GimpImageType is well called. Rather
than Type, shouldn't we go with ColorModel?
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_bpp\>/gimp_drawable_get_bpp/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_width\>/gimp_drawable_get_width/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_height\>/gimp_drawable_get_height/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_offsets\>/gimp_drawable_get_offsets/g' "$@"
Realtime parameter is set for AOM encoder
when Fast encoding speed is selected by user.
Ability to set pixel format (YUV444, RGB)
is enabled for >= libheif 1.10
to avoid issues in older versions.
… gimp_label_spin_set_digits() and deleted gimp_prop_opacity_entry_new()
- The "digits" argument for the number of decimal places in
gimp_prop_scale_entry_new() is now mostly useless since GimpLabelSpin
(hence GimpScaleEntry too) got a nice estimation algorithm of sensible
values.
- Add gimp_label_spin_set_digits() function to manually set the digits
property when we don't like the estimated value.
- Also add a new "factor" argument to gimp_prop_scale_entry_new(). Its
role is to allow a GimpScaleEntry showing a factored range, typically
a [0, 100] range for some types of [0, 1] properties.
- Remove gimp_prop_opacity_entry_new() which was basically a
special-case of gimp_prop_scale_entry_new() and which can now be
easily reproduced by simply set factor=100.0.
- Update all usage of gimp_prop_scale_entry_new() in app/ and plug-ins/
with updated arguments. It is interesting to note that all existing
usage were either integers (digits=1) or when double, the estimated
decimal places are the same as the ones which were manually set (hence
showing the generic estimation is not too bad). So the new function
gimp_label_spin_set_digits() was not even needed once in current code.
Instead of setting always manually the step and page increments when
creating a GimpScaleEntry, let's just generate some common cases
automatically. Indeed the increments are rarely something you want to
care about. The algorithm used is:
- For a range under 1.0, use a hundredth and a tenth (typically a [0,
1.0] range will step-increment of 0.01 and page-increment of 0.1).
- For small ranges (under 40), step-increment by 1, page-increment by 2.
- For bigger ranges, step-increment by 1, page-increment by 10.
For use cases when you absolutely want specific increment values, I add
the gimp_scale_entry_set_increments() function. It is much better to
have a small and understandable constructor call followed by
configuration calls (only when needed) rather than a constructor with a
crazy amount of parameters. Hence gimp_scale_entry_new() went from 17
arguments (absolutely unreadable calls) to now 5.
… of query_procedures().
Since our procedure list is now fully dynamic with runtime check, it's
much better to run it at every startup. Basically if some has updated
libheif with new encoders/decoders, we want GIMP to be aware at it at
next startup even if the plug-in has not been updated.
User can select color subsampling/pixel format
(YUV444, YUV420, RGB)
User can select encoder speed (Slow, Balanced, Fast)
Lossless option delivers visually lossless output
Even though "Export Image as HEIF" is not technically wrong (AVIF is AV1
encoding inside HEIF container), it is better to be more accurate.
Moreover as Daniel Novomesky was explaining in a MR, nowadays when we
say "HEIF", we usually mean "HEIC", whereas you'd use the explicit
"AVIF" naming for HEIF/AV1 images. This seems confirmed by Wikipedia
which says that HEIC is the "implied default codec for HEIF".
So let's just make the AVIF vs HEIF distinction here (I could have used
AVIF vs. HEIC which is even more explicit but I decided to keep the
less-specific yet more used HEIF naming).
Orientation is now handled by core code, just next to profile conversion
handling.
One of the first consequence is that we don't need to have a non-GUI
version gimp_image_metadata_load_finish_batch() in libgimp, next to a
GUI version of the gimp_image_metadata_load_finish() function in
libgimpui. This makes for simpler API.
Also a plug-in which wishes to get access to the rotation dialog
provided by GIMP without loading ligimpui/GTK+ (for whatever reason)
will still have the feature.
The main advantage is that the "Don't ask me again" feature is now
handled by a settings in `Preferences > Image Import & Export` as the
"Metadata rotation policy". Until now it was saved as a global parasite,
which made it virtually non-editable once you checked it once (no easy
way to edit parasites except by scripts). So say you refused the
rotation once while checking "Don't ask again", and GIMP will forever
discard the rotation metadata without giving you a sane way to change
your mind. Of course, I could have passed the settings to plug-ins
through the PDB, but I find it a lot better to simply handle such
settings core-side.
The dialog code is basically the same as an app/dialogs/ as it was in
libgimp, with the minor improvement that it now takes the scale ratio
into account (basically the maximum thumbnail size will be bigger on
higher density displays).
Only downside of the move to the core is that this rotation dialog is
raised only when you open an image from the core, not as a PDB call. So
a plug-in which makes say a "file-jpeg-load" PDB call, even in
INTERACTIVE run mode, won't have rotation processed. Note that this was
already the same for embedded color profile conversion. This can be
wanted or not. Anyway some additional libgimp calls might be of interest
to explicitly call the core dialogs.
The proposed defaults for export should be the less destructive
possible. So for any 16 or 32 bpc GIMP images, since our HEIF plug-in
only supports up to 12 bpc, this should be what we export to.

Plugin will not return GIMP_PDB_SUCCESS in case of failure to import file.
This commit just changes our saving API (i.e. the GimpSaveProcedure
class) to take an array of drawables as argument instead of a single
drawable.
It actually doesn't matter much for exporting as the whole API seems
more or less bogus there and all formats plug-ins mostly care only
whether they will merge/flatten all visible layers (the selected ones
don't really matter) or if the format supports layers of some sort. It
may be worth later strengthening a bit this whole logics, and maybe
allow partial exports for instance.
As for saving, it was not even looking at the passed GimpDrawable either
and was simply re-querying the active layer anyway.
Note that I don't implement the multi-selection saving in XCF yet in
this commit. I only updated the API. The reason is that the current
commit won't be backportable to gimp-2-10 because it is an API break. On
the other hand, the code to save multi-selection can still be backported
even though the save() API will only pass a single drawable (as I said
anyway, this argument was mostly bogus until now, hence it doesn't
matter much for 2.10 logics).
and remember them internally between begin_run() and end_run().
Simplifies plug-in code even more.
Move the begin_run() before gimp_export_image() block in all export
plug-ins.
and remove a gazillion gtk_widget_show() all over the place, some
places need a gtk_widget_hide() now, and I'm pretty sure I broke at
least one thing in all those files...
and in an attack of madness, changes almost all file plug-in
code to use GFile instead of filenames, which means passing
the GFile down to the bottom and get its filename at the very
end where it's actually needed.
And always pass URIs to all file procedures, the ones what didn't
register as "handles remove" will only ever get local file:// URIs.
Change all file plug-ins (also legacy ones) to expect URIs instead
of filenames, and convert to local paths in the plug-in.
The wire protocol should now be almost 100% clean of non-UTF-8 strings.
