We had 2 flags to indicate that a PDB argument could be nullable:
null_ok and none_ok. That was a huge mixup and the PDB generation code
was using sometimes one, sometimes the other. Let's settle for only
none_ok.
This fixes a bunch of annotations.
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).
Brush, font, gradient, palette and pattern choices are currently chosen through
a dialog created by the core, which then returns the user choice to the calling
plug-in. This has the unfortunate consequence of having a pile of likely at
least 3 windows (main GIMP window by core process, plug-in window by plug-in
process, then the choice popup by the core process) shared in 2 processes, which
often end up under each other and that's messy. Even more as the choice popup is
kinda expected to be like a sub-part of the plug-in dialog.
So anyway, now the plug-in can send its window handle to the core so that the
resource choice dialog ends up always above the plug-in dialog.
Of course, it will always work only on platforms where we have working
inter-process transient support.
Simplifies chooser widgets (e.g. GimpBrushSelect) by eliminating attributes (e.g. opacity) of chosen resource.
See #8745, but this commit fixes that by first refactoring the code.
Refactors GUI widgets (e.g. GimpBrushSelectButton and GimpBrushSelect etc.)
Refactor by "Extract class" GimpResourceSelectButton from GimpBrushSelectButton etc.
This moves common code into an inherited class (formerly called GimpSelectButton)
but the subclasses still exist.
The subclasses mainly just do drawing now.
Refactor by "Extract module" GimpResourceSelect from GimpBrushSelect etc.
Moves common code into one file, generic at runtime on type of GimpResource,
that is, the new code dispatches on type i.e. switch statements.
In the future, when core is changed some of that can be deleted.
The files gimpbrushselect.[c,h] etc. are deleted.
The module adapts the API from core to the API of callbacks to libgimp.
Note that core is running the resource chooser (select) widgets remotely.
Core is still calling back over the wire via PDB with more attributes
than necessary.
The new design gets the attributes from the resource themselves,
instead of receiving them from core callback.
The libgimp side adapts by discarding unneeded attributes.
In the future, core (running choosers for plugins) can be simplified also.
Fix gimp_prop_chooser_brush_new same as other resources.
Finish changes, and clean style.
Annotations
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.
