We were already considering the plugins under /common but
not the plug-ins that have their own subdirectories. So,
plugin_executables did not match custom_plugin_targets and
the build started to fail on macOS where install_name_tool
neeeds to process the plugins setting the right LC_RPATH.
to use vector instead of "smvector" in labels and help texts.
This makes these texts the same as for the Orientation Map dialog,
reducing work for translators and is more easily understandabe than
smvector.
This is a followup of previous commit. We must set the win_subsystem
option on executable() so that the result binary is compiled as a GUI
application (and doesn't output a console every time).
The previous commit is still needed and is what allows us to control
when to actually display a console.
This was bothering me that we were keeping these macros marked as legacy
in our public headers. Now they aren't so we can delete the whole file
when we'll finally get rid of all usage later, without breaking API.
With the new API introduced int d1c4457f,
we next need to port all plug-ins using
the argument macros to functions.
This will allow us to remove the macros
as part of the 3.0 API clean-up.
The invasion extended to some core widgets too, in particular GimpColorPanel (a
subclass of GimpColorButton). There was quite a lot of code depending on these
widgets.
We use a GBytes auxiliary argument (i.e. not visible in the public API) which
perfectly replace gimp_[gs]et_data() API, in even better (since it also works
across sessions).
The "Reset to initial values|factory defaults" still don't work. We could make
these work even with the AUX args, but I feel like this would be far too much
work for a non-optimal solution anyway. The real solution can be when we get
more public arguments to this PDB procedure to handle every setting
individually. This can happen after GIMP 3 release (especially now that
arguments number and order don't break the PDB API anymore).
If we leave a space between the macro name and opening parenthese for argument
lists, the args are not considered macro args (which will be discovered when
using it). I experienced this issue while testing code on some plug-in
yesterday, so thought I might as well fix all these broken macros for casting to
the specific GimpPlugIn subclass, so that we won't have a next time.
A few minor code style issues were also fixed.
Note that there's only one procedure parameter (Preset name),
but it's not retained between runs.
I want to ask about this before making a full conversion to
GimpProcedureDialog widgets.
Now that we bumped our meson requirement, meson is complaining about
several features now deprecated even in the minimum required meson
version:
s/meson.source_root/meson.project_source_root/ to fix:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.source_root. use meson.project_source_root() or meson.global_source_root() instead.
s/meson.build_root/meson.project_build_root/ to fix:

Fixing using path() on xdg_email and python ExternalProgram variables:

fix:

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.
Since it appeared with GLib 2.68.0, we could not change this until we
bumped the dependency which has only become possible a few days ago
(since Debian testing is our baseline for dependency bumps). Cf.
previous commit.
As this is a drop-in replacement (just a guint parameter changed to
gsize to avoid integer overflow), search-and-replace with:
> sed -i 's/g_memdup\>/g_memdup2/g' `grep -rIl 'g_memdup\>' *`
… followed by a few manual alignment tweaks when necessary.
This gets rid of the many deprecation warnings which we had lately when
building with a recent GLib version.

Reviewer's (Jehan) note: a git blame shows this is a clear bug
introduced in commit 9d19bf2a3e, which was a cleanup patch, and the
BOUNDS() macro was not doing exactly the same thing as the code before
the change.
Renaming the temporary function gimp_scale_entry_new2() into
gimp_scale_entry_new() now that the original code is entirely gone. This
is now a fully-fledged widget with a nice and proper introspectable API.
This gives a big cleanup in the meson.build files of the plug-ins.
It's also quite a bit more maintainable, since anything that changes in
libgimp's dependencies, linkage, ... doesn't have to be copy-pasted into
each plug-in.
gimp_int_radio_group_new() was still complaining about the scope of
radio_button_callback(). Make it (scope notified) because it needs to
stay alive after the function returns and may be called multiple times.
Also adding a GDestroyNotify to free the callback data once the widget
is destroyed (additionally it will also serve as a notifier for bindings
to properly free the callback closure itself, not only it's data).
With this last one done, GObject Introspection generation now happens
without any warning output.
The latter is broken and doesn't guarantee a decimal point with the
current bug. Also, g_ascii_dtostr() doesn't need the format parameter
and produces nicer output.
I am going to forbid plug-ins from being installed directly in the root
of the plug-ins/ directory. They will have to be installed in a
subdirectory named the same as the entry point binary.
This may seem useless for our core plug-ins which are nearly all
self-contained in single binaries, but this is actually a necessary
restriction to eliminate totally the DLL hell issue on Windows. Moving
core plug-ins in subfolders is only a necessary consequence for it.
