... to reset its position via right-click menu
This commit adds the ability to restore the original position of the
on-canvas text editor after it has been moved, by accessing the option
from the context menu opened with a right-click on the text box.
This patch adds a Paste Unformatted Text item inside the
right-click menu of Text Tool, which allows user to paste
previously copied, possibly formatted (marked) text as plain
text with no markup.
Cf. discussions on IRC with Alx.
Since this is editable directly in the Path tool options, we likely
don't need to have the separate action for it. It feels redundant.
It is still available on a double-click, though I am not sure if it's a
good idea. Maybe the double-click should rather activate the path tool,
from which you can edit all these (just as what happens with the text
tool). To be continued after more UX discussions?
Based on the label, and also "retrieve" was just too generic. It made
sense in the context of rasterizable items, but with the more generic
"layers" context, it would raise uncertainty.
These 2 new actions are meant to be usable on all 3 types of non-raster
(and non-group) layers, i.e. link, text and vector layers, to
respectively rasterize and un-rasterize them.
This will also work with multiple selected layers, and is not specific
to one type of layers.
I also change how gimp_text_layer_discard() used to work, by marking the
text layer as modified instead of actually discarding all text
information. The main consequence of this was that a layer rasterized
this way was forever lost. Now it can actually be revived as a text
layer, not only through the new layers-retrieve action, but also by
trying to edit it with the Text tool, which will trigger the same dialog
as when a text layer had been rasterized by editing it with a paint
tool.
Whereas the label of "layers-rasterize" seem to be quite straightforward
(simply "Rasterize" per discussions in gimp-ux#252), I am really unsure
of the label for "layers-retrieve". Further UX discussions should help
on this front.
...for toggle bold/italic/underline.
This commit adds support for common formatting shortcuts in the Text Tool:
- Ctrl+B: Toggle bold
- Ctrl+I: Toggle italic
- Ctrl+U: Toggle underline
Revert the logic of opening all files as link layers back into loading
their current content as normal layers.
Instead just add a new action dedicated to open images as link layers
and add it to the File menu.
Per UX discussions with Aryeom.
These are layers who content depends on another source (right now only
an external image). This can be useful when for instance working at
several people on a single artwork, hence being able to load new
versions of an image without even touching anything in the XCF (for
instance, say you draw an animated character while someone else is
taking care of the background).
Similarly to what we do for text layers, once you start modifying the
contents, it turns into a "normal" layer. The link information is still
available though, so it is possible to revert to the monitoring state
with the menu item "Monitor Linked Image" which appear when a link layer
became a normal layer.
This is not finale as I'm still experimenting. In particular, I have not
implemented XCF saving/loading yet for this new layer type.
Using the app. prefix/group for the top menu works better for the
GIMP_GTK_MENUBAR variant of the menubar (which is what is used on macOS
to get the macOS-style menu).
The whole action group code should be reviewed and straightened up
eventually!
In previous versions what has been stored/specified as perceptual blending or
compositing spaces has really been the non-linear variant of the images babl
space.
To maintain loading of old files, the code has been updated to actually mean
non-linear and a new perceptual value has been added to the GimpLayerColorSpace
enum, while preserving all old enum values.
This change bumps XCF file version to 23

The menu definition in image-menu.ui.in.in didn't have the same
capitalization as in the plug-ins that uses it, so it was never
used, and would never be shown translated.
The old menu label was confusing to users.
Remove translatable strings having joke "goat" so translators not confused.
Move the goat plugins to the menu.
The items under the menu should all be example plugins.
The menu is in a release.
Test plugins should not be in this menu.
Test plugins should not ship in a stable release.
!!! Note that 2.10 does not ship with example plugins.
If we don't want 3.0 to ship stable build with example plugins,
then the meson.build for goat-exercises needs to change
and the menu removed entirely in menus/image-menu.ui.in.in.
The GIMP_VIEW_SIZE_ENORMOUS enum setting was missing from
the Preview Size menu. This patch adds it in so that users have a
preview size option between Extra Large and Enormous.
Though these are not as user-facing as other strings, the action names
still are somewhat user-facing. Let's rename them consistently with the
GUI and the API.
This commit also handles user config migration so that custom shortcuts
are not lost.
Fixes#9883
There were menus that put their entries
directly in the tab menu rather than in a submenu.
This moves them to submenus to bring back GIMP 2.10 behavior.
Stray entries added by scripts are also moved to the right
submenu.
Though we mostly removed floating layers/masks (formerly floating
selections) in many interactions, at least for default behaviors for
basic pastes, there are still advanced usage attached to this concept
and some advanced users are willing to have easier access to such items.
For this reason, this commit:
- adds edit-paste-float and edit-paste-float-in-place for pasting the
contents of the clipboard as floating data with default positionning
algorithm or in-place respectively;
- renames select-float to select-cut-float which does a cut and paste as
float in one action;
- adds select-copy-float which does a copy and paste as float in one
action;
- reorganize a bit the `Edit > Paste as` submenu with sections for the
floating data variants;
- add a "Float" submenu in "Select" root menu, containing the 2 variant
actions select-cut-float and select-copy-float.
This comes with a "colormap-delete-color" into the "colormap" action group. The
action/button will be insensitive when the selected color is used in the image,
since it is only possible to delete unused colors.
It's nearly the same list of placeholders which will make it easier to
third-party developers (though format still changed, devs will have to add
square brackets for section names).
Now some section names are missing because we would need to break some list into
smaller sections yet want to avoid having separators everywhere. This makes me
wonder if removing my first placeholder implementation was the right idea.
Anyway this new implementation is cleaner and we should find a way to add
sub-sections without creating separators in menus.
Also I didn't try to add new section names (though I did once or twice, e.g. a
"Close" section around quit/close actions which didn't exist) but eventually we
should. Being able to name logically parts of the menus will make them even more
organized (if we can't name a group of actions, it may mean we didn't think
properly the organization and order).
File/Quit, Edit/Preferences|Input Devices|Keyboard Shortcuts should not be in
the main menu bar on macOS because they are already in the "app menu".
See #9322.
I'm not sure what's the default for random string attribute, but better be
explicit anyway. I think this way, we make sure that gettext won't try and
translate these.
This removes a bunch of inconsistencies we had from the before-2.99.16 version
because new items from plug-ins were all added at the bottom of their respective
submenu.
Now that we don't blindly generate a messy list of all non-special cased actions
in Filters > GEGL Operations, "GEGL Graph" is all alone in this submenu. It just
makes sense to bring it back to the Generic submenus where it used to be.
Per @Jehan, this solution would prevent default icons from being loaded
in custom themes if they did not include their own version.
The only thing kept from !909 is the replacement of hardcoded strings
in a few files with constants defined in gimpicons.h.
Five icons in the Layer dockable were being replaced by GTK defaults at
runtime. A "gimp-" prefix was added so that GIMP's version would always
be used. A few dialogues were fixed to use constants rather than
hardcoding the filename, to make it easier to update the icon in the
future.
"edit-paste-as-new-image-short" and "vectors-selection-to-vectors-short" were
just duplicate of the action named the same, except for the "-short" suffix, and
the only point was to have different labels.
Not though that this time, it was not enough to conclude that the action in a
menu shoud have the short variant. These were both used differently depending on
the menu.
Instead I added the concept of "label-variant" attribute in .ui menu files. When
the "long" variant is set, then we simply use the longer label.
There is still one more "-short" action: "tools-by-color-select-short", but I am
a still unsure how to handle this one.
Since we now generate actions for GEGL ops, we might as well generate menu items
for these too.
What I did:
- Move the "GEGL Operation…" tool (generic dialog with a drop-down list of all
non-ignored GEGL ops) to Tools menu.
- Create a "GEGL Operations" submenu in Filters > Generic.
- Move "GEGL Graph" to the top of this new submenu.
- Generate a new menu item for each generated action tied to a GEGL plug-in,
alphabetically sorted.
In particular on macOS, we want to show some default common actions (see
comments in !837) but gtk_application_prefers_app_menu() docs says that it will
always return FALSE on this OS. So we ignore this call on macOS.
Depending on where it's used, this list of action can be either in the
"dockable" or the "dialogs" action group.
The meson rule is a bit more complicated than I wished it were because of the
ever-so-blocking lack of simple dependency in meson.
