2006-10-09 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> Added message severities and make sure all messages are routed through a central function, so redirecting to the error console or stderr work again: * app/core/core-enums.[ch]: added enum GimpMessageSeverity { INFO, WARNING, ERROR }. * app/core/gimp.[ch] (gimp_message) (gimp_message_valist): added severity parameter. Changed "GimpProgress *progress" parameter to "GObject *handler", where "handler" can be either a GimpProgress, a GtkWidget or NULL. * app/core/gimp-gui.[ch] (gimp_show_message): ditto. Honor --console-messages again. Always dispatch to the GUI message handler first if it exists. * app/gui/gui-message.[ch]: pass severity parameters around. (gui_message_error_dialog): if "handler" is a progress, dispatch the message to it first. If it is a widget (and *not* a progress), use a GtkMessageDialog on top of that widget's toplevel. Fall back to the usual GimpErrorDialog otherwise. * app/core/gimpprogress.[ch] (gimp_progress_message): added severity parameter. Also added boolean return value to the virtual function so it can decide to fail if it can't handle the message. * app/display/gimpdisplay.c: implement GimpProgress::message() and redirect the message to GimpDisplayShell. * app/display/gimpdisplayshell-progress.c: implement GimpProgress::message() and redirect the message to GimpStatusbar if it is not an error and if the status bar is visible. * app/display/gimpstatusbar.[ch]: implement GimpProgress::message(), but fail on messages that contain a newline. Show the right icons for the message severities (work in progress). * app/display/gimpdisplayshell.[ch]: removed gimp_display_shell_message() and its _valist() variant. * app/widgets/gimperrorconsole.[ch]: show the right icons for the message severities. * app/widgets/gimpthumbbox.c (gimp_thumb_box_progress_message): return TRUE to swallow all messages. * app/widgets/gimpwidgets-utils.[ch]: removed gimp_show_message_dialog(). Added gimp_get_message_stock_id(). * app/errors.c * app/actions/edit-commands.c * app/actions/error-console-commands.c * app/actions/file-commands.c * app/actions/select-commands.c * app/actions/text-editor-commands.c * app/actions/vectors-commands.c * app/core/gimpimage-convert.c * app/core/gimpimagefile.c * app/dialogs/convert-dialog.c * app/dialogs/file-open-dialog.c * app/dialogs/file-open-location-dialog.c * app/dialogs/file-save-dialog.c * app/dialogs/palette-import-dialog.c * app/dialogs/stroke-dialog.c * app/display/gimpdisplayshell-dnd.c * app/pdb/gimppdb.c * app/plug-in/gimpplugin.c * app/tools/gimpimagemaptool.c * app/tools/gimptool.c * app/tools/gimpvectortool.c * app/widgets/gimpactionview.c * app/widgets/gimpcontrollerlist.c * app/widgets/gimppdbdialog.c * app/widgets/gimpvectorstreeview.c * app/xcf/xcf-load.c * app/xcf/xcf-save.c * app/xcf/xcf.c * tools/pdbgen/pdb/brush.pdb * tools/pdbgen/pdb/gradient.pdb * tools/pdbgen/pdb/image.pdb * tools/pdbgen/pdb/message.pdb * tools/pdbgen/pdb/palette.pdb: added severity parameter to gimp_message() calls. Convert all calls to gimp_show_message_dialog() and gimp_display_shell_message() to gimp_message(). Also converted some more g_message() calls. * app/pdb/brush_cmds.c * app/pdb/gradient_cmds.c * app/pdb/image_cmds.c * app/pdb/message_cmds.c * app/pdb/palette_cmds.c: regenerated.
The GNU Image Manipulation Program Version 2.3 ---------------------------------------------- This is an unstable development version of GIMP. Please realize that this is in no way a final product. A lot of new features are incomplete and some things may even be completely broken. If you need to get work done, please use the stable version, GIMP 2.2. GIMP 2.3 replaces earlier GIMP 2.x versions. It is advised that you uninstall them before installing GIMP 2.3. If you want to keep your older GIMP 2.x installation in parallel to GIMP 2.3, you have to choose a separate prefix which is not in your default library search path. Otherwise your GIMP 2.2 or GIMP 2.0 installation will start to use the new libraries. You have been warned. If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet. If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file HACKING. For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL. 1. Web Resources ================ GIMP's home page is at: http://www.gimp.org/ Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation, tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there. The automated plug-in registry is located at: http://registry.gimp.org/ There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins, using a convenient forms-based interface. The latest version of GIMP can be found at: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ 2. Mailing Lists ================ We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development discussion. There is more info at https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/<listname> with <listname> replaced by "gimp-announce", "gimp-user", "gimp-win-users" or "gimp-developer" (without the quotes, of course) depending on the list you want to subscribe to. Links to the mailing list archives can be found at the same addresses as given above. Gimp-announce is a low-traffic list with announcements about new releases of GIMP and plug-ins. Gimp-user is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer is oriented to GIMP core and plug-in developers. Most people will only want to be subscribed to gimp-user. If you want to help develop GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting point. There is also a mailing list, "gimpwin-users", dedicated to users of the Win32 port. To subscribe, send an empty message to gimpwin-users-subscribe@egroups.com You can also use the web interface at http://www.egroups.com/group/gimpwin-users/. Note that as this mailing list is hosted on egroups.com, the messages from the list contain relatively unintrusive and easily ignored advertisements at the end. But if you are absolutely allergic to ads, don't subscribe. 3. IRC ====== And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to the GIMP. On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is #gimp. Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet servers are: irc.gimp.org:6667 irc.us.gimp.org:6667 irc.eu.gimp.org:6667 4. Customizing ============== The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app by editing the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations). For downloadable themes and further details, see http://gtk.themes.org. Additionally, GIMP reads ~/.gimp-2.2/gtkrc so you can have settings that only apply to GIMP. Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop. You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file to ~/.gimp-2.2/menurc. You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by editing ~/.gimp-2.2/menurc.
