… GimpUi.ProcedureDialog.new()
The old way is still working and acceptable as far as I am concerned.
Just switching to the recommended (by upstream) syntax to show it works
as expected and as a good example of code.
- Now using multi-drawable run() signature, but sensitive only with a
single drawable.
- width|height() calls are now get_width|height().
- PDB call to 'plug-in-sel2path' now expects a drawable array as well.
The following changes were made:
- run() signature now moved to multi-drawables.
- sensitivity mask now enables the plug-in when one or several drawables
are selected. When several, a fog layer will be created over each
selected layer.
- Mnemonics added to properties.
- Color property finally used now that our API has support for boxed
parameters with GimpRGB value type.
- Use a config object instead of ordered GimpValueArray and use the
begin|en_run() API to store values between runs.
- Add a graphical interface generated with the new GimpProcedureDialog
API.
We did port it to the new API but we are doubting it is useful at all.
It might have been, historically, when foreground extract algorithm was
first introduced, but probably not anymore, even more as the algorithm
is now implemented mostly on GEGL side anyway. So if any benchmark were
to be done, it should probably be added as GEGL tests.
Also as we are planning to update even more the API lately, it feels
really like a waste of time to also fix this plug-in while we currently
believe it to be useless.
Still we move it to the gimp-data-extras repository for being able to
easily bring it back in case we missed some use.
The Openraster plug-in calls file-png-load and
gimp-file-load-layer but didn't check if the result
was SUCCESS. Even though I haven't seen any
failures let's improve error checking by adding
a check for a correct result.
The current openraster specification only has a limited
number of layer modes. Let's improve things a little bit
by mapping both the current and legacy layer modes
to the same openraster composite-op where available.
For the other layer modes we could examine what the
closest composite-op is, or add a GIMP specific op
(which is what Krita seems to do). For now we set
all these to the openraster equivalent of NORMAL.
Let's use the non legacy layer modes when importing/exporting
openraster images. That way we are more likely to be able to
import the correct layer modes since openraster only has a
limited number of layer modes defined.
Per polls on Twitter, Reddit, Patreon and Tipeee, most people were
willing to drop this plug-in as not being relevant anymore (247 for
dropping and 63 for keeping it, so nearly 80% out of 310 participants).
So let's move it to gimp-data-extras allowing it to still have a
possible life, and who knows, maybe to even evolve.
See also corresponding commit beffc6b to gimp-data-extras repository.
This fixes#5838 which was caused by an incomplete port
of this plug-in to the new introspection API.
For now we do keep the n_drawables parameter of save_ora until
issue #5312 is fixed. Not doing this would cause saving to fail.
Since meson 0.43.0 (below our current requirement), 'symbol_prefix'
argument of gnome.generate_gir() allows an ordered list. If I prepend
'gimp_ui', it makes any gimp_ui_*() function to not start with 'ui_'.
In particular, GimpUi.ui_init() becomes GimpUi.init() which is much less
redundant.
shadow_bevel.py and sphere.py are unfinished and have been in the
"Unstable" only builds for years. This is probably not worth porting
them. Let's just delete them.
I have actually move these (as well clothify and whirlpinch removed
yesterday) to the gimp-data-extras repository so if anyone wants to
revive them, and port them to GIMP 3, they can start off from there.
Following Elad Shahar advice (cf. #4368), let's delete whirlpinch.py and
clothify.py.
The rational is that whirlpinch.py does the same thing as the existing
"plug-in-whirl-pinch" which is itself a compat plug-in to
"gegl:whirl-pinch" operation. Also the Python file has an explicit
command saying it is exactly the same algorithm, yet with no preview and
slower. Finally it was not even installed on stable build. It doesn't
look like there is any reason to keep it (it was probably a demo/test
Python plug-in).
As for clothify.py, a quick look at the short code shows it is exactly
the same algorithm as clothify.scm, with the same arguments and
installed on the same `Filters > Artistic` menu (except that the Python
version is not installed on stable builds).
So let's just keep the script-fu version as it has been the used version
until now, and there is no deprecation going on in one side or another.
So let's keep what already works.
Since the patch was initially contributed, some parts of the
introspection changed. First all GUI-related code is in a GimpUi module
now.
Also Gimp.get_pdb().run_procedure() is now using a list instead of a
GimpValueArray.
Note by reviewer (Jehan): merging this port as it was in GIMP 2.10
anyway, but is this even still needed code? This plug-in is not even
available on stable release, it looks like for-development only
benchmark, and I'm not sure if it's relevant anymore, especially in our
GEGL-fueled new world.
Please anyone who knows a bit more on the history of this plug-in and
the evolution of our gimp_drawable_foreground_extract() algorithm, feel
free to weigh in and tell us what this was for exactly and if it's still
relevant.
This is a basic port without any UI.
Invoking the plugin will just sort the entire palette based on
default parameters.
The original plugin had several broken options, which I tried to fix.
Plug-ins that work from different bindings probably want to use their
own list-type to specify arguments, rather than working with a more
cumbersome `GimpValueArray`.
This new API should make it less verbose. For example:
```
args = Gimp.ValueArray.new(5)
args.insert(0, GObject.Value(Gimp.RunMode, Gimp.RunMode.NONINTERACTIVE))
args.insert(1, GObject.Value(Gimp.Image, image))
args.insert(2, GObject.Value(Gimp.Drawable, mask))
args.insert(3, GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_INT, int(time.time())))
args.insert(4, GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE, turbulence))
Gimp.get_pdb().run_procedure('plug-in-plasma', args)
```
becomes
```
Gimp.get_pdb().run_procedure('plug-in-plasma', [
GObject.Value(Gimp.RunMode, Gimp.RunMode.NONINTERACTIVE),
GObject.Value(Gimp.Image, image),
GObject.Value(Gimp.Drawable, mask),
GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_INT, int(time.time())),
GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_DOUBLE, turbulence),
])
```
Reduce number of undo steps created by Spryrogimp previews.
First, by grouping them into a single undo.
The implementation adds a function for clearing the
incremental preview drawing that is being executed as an idle task,
and closing an undo group in case the preview left it open (which
would usually be the case). A second way to reduce undos is
by generating a new preview only upon mouse button release of
scales in the UI, and not while dragging the scale.
Just "Console" is enough in the context of menus with submenu hierarchy,
but when accessing directly the feature (with Action Search for
instance), a more accurate name is nicer. It avoids to have to check
what is what in the tooltip text.
Add visual tab to spyrogimp plugin for a more intuitive, visual
way of specifying the spyrograph pattern.
In addition, fix using the selection as the fixed gear, and add
option to save the pattern to a path.
Without the write permission for the owner, the `make install-plug-ins`
special target fails on Python plug-ins. And anyway I don't see a reason
why not give write permission to the owner (like all other plug-ins are
installed).
There is no reason to limit it to "xhtml" only. Even more, in all
browsers I tried, the exported page was failing to load with the '.xtml'
extension, while it loads fine when renamed as '.html'.
Only problem is that now we have 2 plug-ins able to save as html (other
is file-html-table) and the first in the procedure list (with no
explicit logics right now) will just shadow the next one. We will have
to add some generic infrastructure to allow people to choose favorite
load/export plug-ins, probably in Preferences, next to the raw plug-in
selection.
