GLib has a specific type for byte arrays: `GBytes` (and it's underlying
GType `G_TYPE_BYTES`).
By using this type, we can avoid having a `GimpUint8Array` which is a
bit cumbersome to use for both the C API, as well as bindings. By using
`GBytes`, we allow other languages to pass on byte arrays as they are
used to, while the bindings will make sure to do the right thing.
In the end, it makes the API a little bit simpler for everyone, and
reduces confusion for people who are used to working with byte arrays
in other C/GLib based code (and not having 2 different types to denote
the same thing).

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.
The gimp_drawable_type() is an issue though as gimp_drawable_get_type()
is already defined as a common GObject API.
Though I'm actually wondering if GimpImageType is well called. Rather
than Type, shouldn't we go with ColorModel?
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_bpp\>/gimp_drawable_get_bpp/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_width\>/gimp_drawable_get_width/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_height\>/gimp_drawable_get_height/g' "$@"
sed -i 's/\<gimp_drawable_offsets\>/gimp_drawable_get_offsets/g' "$@"
s/gimp_image_base_type/gimp_image_get_base_type/
s/gimp_image_width/gimp_image_get_width/
s/gimp_image_height/gimp_image_get_height/
Sorry plug-in developers, more porting work! But really this seems like
the right thing to do in order not to get stuck with inconsistent naming
for many more years to come.
This means that images' ownership is not given to caller in particular.
libgimp will now keep a reference of all GimpImage-s it creates and
return this same reference if called again. It also means that you can
now compare images by pointer comparison (as 2 GimpImage objects
representing the same image ID will be equal).
Obviously as a side effect, gimp_image_list() is changed to (transfer
container) as you must only free the container now, not the elements.
Also various other functions creating new images are now (transfer none)
too.
Long-time plug-ins will have to be taken in consideration in a further
step (we currently never free GimpImage for destroyed images in
particular).
Remove gimp_drawable_mask_bounds() from several plug-ins
Also avoid null pointer crash by returning if called with null
drawable which appears to happen once on the initial update. Instead
prints a message for some one who might want to fix it
Change gimp_drawable_mask_intersect() to check return value
We still get some GIMP Error and Warnings but no crashes now
Revert commits bc099a98f3 and
c77781de89 from Jul 27 2006;
also changed refval boundaries of the "width" size entries
in the spirit of the original fix, only reversed.
Rationale: the "horizontal" parameters all have to affect the
horizontal *lines*, so have an effect in *vertical* direction.
Will commit a label change on top to clarify this.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).
Cleaned up some copyright headers and regenerated the parsers in
the ImageMap plugin.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=27913
* plug-ins/common/grid.c: width and height were reversed when
setting refval boundaries in a couple of places; problem
pointed out by Maciej Katafiasz on irc.
2005-09-30 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* plug-ins/*/*.c: removed '...' from progress messages. They are
redundant because we are already in a progress. Ported some more
g_strdup_printf()/gimp_progress_init() to
gimp_progress_init_printf(). Core will follow...

Added parent window API to the GimpProgress interface and to
the libgimp progress stuff. Might look strange, but does
the right thing in almost all cases (image window, file dialog,
script-fu dialog etc). Fixes bug #62988.
* app/core/gimpprogress.[ch]: added GimpProgress::get_window()
which should return a toplevel window ID if the progress is in a
window that wants to be the transient parent of plug-in dialogs.
* app/widgets/gimpwidgets-utils.[ch] (gimp_window_get_native): new
function which returns the window handle of a GtkWindow's GdkWindow.
* app/widgets/gimpfiledialog.c: implement ::get_window().
* app/display/gimpdisplay.[ch]: ditto. Removed window handle API.
* app/gui/gui-vtable.c: changed accordingly.
* libgimpbase/gimpbaseenums.[ch] (enum GimpProgressCommand):
added GIMP_PROGRESS_COMMAND_GET_WINDOW.
* app/plug-in/plug-in-progress.[ch] (plug_in_progress_get_window):
new function. Also renamed some functions to match the
GimpProgress interface, and not the legacy PDB procedure names.
* tools/pdbgen/pdb/progress.pdb
* app/core/gimppdbprogress.c: implement get_window() on both
sides of the wire, keeping backward compatibility (hopefully).
* libgimp/gimpprogress.[ch]: deprecated gimp_progress_install()
and added gimp_progress_install_vtable() which takes a vtable with
padding to be extensible. Added get_window() vtable entry and
dispatch it accordingly. Also added pulse() which was implemented
in a hackish way before. Everything is of course backward
compatible.
* libgimp/gimpprogressbar.c: inmplement the get_window() stuff
so a plug-in dialog containing a progress can be the transient
parent of another dialog in another plug-in.
* libgimp/gimpui.[ch] (gimp_ui_get_progress_window): new function
which returns a foreign GdkWindow of this plug-ins progress
window.
Renamed gimp_window_set_transient_for_default_display() to
gimp_window_set_transient() and make it use the progress' window
handle instead of the display's (which is the right thing to do in
almost all cases).
* libgimp/gimp.def
* libgimp/gimpui.def: add the new functions.
* tools/pdbgen/enums.pl
* app/pdb/internal_procs.c
* app/pdb/progress_cmds.c
* libgimp/gimpprogress_pdb.[ch]: regenerated.
* libgimp/gimpexport.c
* plug-ins/*/*.c: follow API change.
2005-09-05 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* plug-ins: Call gimp_window_set_transient_for_default_display()
for most plug-in dialogs. Not yet done are load and save dialogs
and dialogs created from language bindings.
