This patch improves vector layer UX based on feedback.
In summary:
* Makes vector layer editable from the Path tool
* Adds initial PDB for creating vector layers in scripts
* Size vector layers to the path size, rather than image
* Transform tools utilize the path for resizing
* Path tool automatically selects vector layer path
Rename plug_in_compat.pdb to image_autocrop.pdb so we retain commit history.
All procedures defined there are related to autocrop.
- made internal, not plugins
- renamed from plug-in- to gimp-image-
- exposed in libgimp
If we need plugin compatibility PDB group in the future,
a starting template can be recovered from plug_in_compat.pdb 2.10 or late 2.99.
Fixed plugins that call. The C plugin now calls libgimp instead of a PDB procedure.
A few functions were added, but the main one is
gimp_drawable_get_filters() to request the list of filters applied
non-destructively on a drawable. We can't do much with these for the
time being, but this will come.
WIP.
...to paths
Follow-up to d0bdbdfd. Changes all
gimp_vectors_* () PDB to gimp_path_* ()
and renames relevant PDB files from
vectors to path.
The next step will be to rename
GimpVectors in libgimp to GimpPath,
removing the last (public) trace of it.
Also:
- renaming gimp_layer_group_new() to gimp_group_layer_new() in order to keep the
same name as in core code (i.e. GimpGroupLayer, not GimpLayerGroup).
- renaming gimp_image_merge_layer_group() to gimp_group_layer_merge()
- new functions: gimp_procedure_add_group_layer_argument(),
gimp_procedure_add_group_layer_aux_argument() and
gimp_procedure_add_group_layer_return_value().
This can be tested, e.g. in Python with these calls:
```py
i = Gimp.get_images()[0]
g = Gimp.GroupLayer.new(i, "hello")
i.insert_layer(g, None, 1)
g2 = Gimp.GroupLayer.new(i, "world")
i.insert_layer(g2, g, 1)
g.merge()
```
This was work started long ago, stored in an old stash which I finally
finish now! :-)
Similarly to the various GimpResource select PDB calls, this allows to call a
core dialog in order to choose a drawable which will be returned back to the
calling plug-in.
This new GimpPickableSelect dialog is a subclass of GimpPdbDialog and uses the
same GimpPickableChooser widget as GimpPickablePopup, except that since it's
inter-process window management, it is harder to make a popup positioned
accurately relatively to a parent (especially on Wayland). This is why it's a
separate widget as a simpler dialog (which we will still try to make transient
as much as possible across platforms).
Much like for images and items. Change the PDB to transmit IDs
instead of names for brush, pattern etc. and refactor a whole
lot of libgimp code to deal with it.
modified: libgimp/gimpplugin-private.h
So procedures can declare args and GimpProcedureDialog show chooser
widgets
Fix so is no error dialog on id_is_valid for resources
Palette.pdb changes and testing
Memory mgt changes
Gradient pdb
Font and Pattern tests
Test brush, palette
Cleanup, remove generator
Rebase, edit docs, install test-dialog.py
Whitespace, and fix failed distcheck
Fix some clang-format, fix fail distcheck
Fix distcheck
Cleanup from review Jehan
Add new PDB group "drawable_edit" which has all procedures from the
"edit" group which are not cut/copy/paste.
The new group's procedures don't have opacity, paint_mode
etc. arguments but take them from the context instead. Unlike the old
gimp-edit-fill, gimp-drawable-edit-fill now uses the context's opacity
and paint_mode.
The new gimp-drawable-edit-gradient-fill procedure uses even more
context properties which are also newly added with this commit
(gradient_color_space, gradient_repeat_mode, gradient_reverse).
And some cleanup in context.pdb.
This is still WIP, nothing in the edit group is depcreated yet.
It never belonged inside "tools". Also rename its "pdb" subdirectory
to "groups". This had to happen before 2.10 so cherry-picking between
branches doesn't become a nightmare in the future.
