Since we are pre-processing anyway the AppStream metadata file (because
appstream-glib doesn't pass unknown XML attributes, cf. a previous
commit), it does feel silly now to continue loading the file at runtime
too. Let's just pre-process more data into the constructed C files, i.e.
get the introduction paragraphs and the change items too.
The only other remaining advantage of appstream-glib was that it was
handling the localization but since we also have these localized strings
in our gettext files, we can as well translate with gettext as any other
strings and it works just fine.
It will also get rid of any packaging issue, forgetting to package the
metadata file (as we had on the Windows installer, and still have on the
macOS package). Now it will just always work because data is internal.
The changes include:
* A popover will be displayed on tool buttons and relevant property
widgets.
* Now the welcome dialog gives focus up to its parent window because
really the whole focus styling issue in GTK is a bit maddening. The
colors are all faded, the popover widgets are barely visible, and so
on.
* Timing is tweaked a bit to give more time reading the popover tips.
… blinking it.
This will be necessary to demo new features available only in some
situations. E.g. a new option in line art detection mode of bucket fill
would require said mode to be enabled.
First I strip now every pieces of text. What it allows it to span the
script elements for instance on several lines, indent them and all that.
The second thing is that since all the dockable start with "gimp-", we
may as well allow use shorter names (both are allowed). Same for tool
(which we special-case), all the tool buttons ID start with "tools-"
since we reused the action names. So let's just allow the shorter
versions.
Finally I create a new gimp_blink_toolbox() which is a specialized
gimp_blink_dockable() for the toolbox in particular. I also move there
the whole code about selecting the right tool.
Make a different bullet points for items with demos and items without,
and add an info text explaining you can click on items with the right
bullet point to get a demo.
Hopefully it will fix the following CI errors:
> make[4]: *** No rule to make target '../../tools/generate-welcome-dialog-data.py', needed by 'welcome-dialog-data.h'. Stop.
I thought using relative paths was fine too here, but I might have been
wrong (even though it worked locally).
Even when using a GtkListBox, it's just prettier and clearer when having
a text list with dots IMO, especially since some text might wrap on
several lines. Let's just go with that.
The idea is to add some "demo" attribute to a list item inside the
<release> tag, since we already decided that (for now at least) we'd
keep a strict "intro + list" logics, as we did until now.
This demo attribute uses an internal format to specify successive
widgets to blink (like a demo path towards a feature). For now, what it
allows is:
* raise the toolbox, select a tool and blink the tool button.
* raise a dockable, blink any widgets in there.
Now it is still limited and needs to evolve. In particular:
* What happens if the blinked tool button was explicitly removed from
Preferences? Should we re-add it for the demo? And once done, should
we remove it again? Then should we select back the tool previously
selected?
* What happens if the dockable widget is not visible? Should we allow
changing the settings to be able to demo correctly the new/changed
settings? Should it be temporary? If temporary, it can be annoying as
you'd still have to look attentively the demo to find back the path to
the new settings. If not temporary, some people may dislike we touch
their settings.
* What if docks are hidden? Should we unhide them, then hide them back
after demo time?
Also regarding the implementation: originally I wanted to just grab the
demo attribute directly from the AppStream metadata file, but I realized
that appstream-glib cleans out unknown attribute from the XML. I could
then simply parse the file with a generic XML parser, but I found
simpler to pre-parse it into a header built within GIMP. I still use
appstream-glib at runtime as it takes care of localization for us
(though in the same time, we also have the localization in the main po
files, so maybe we could just embed the release note strings as well).
See appstream-glib report: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/issues/431
What it means is that we will be a bit strict over our <release>
formatting which will have to always be a <p> introduction followed by a
list of items. This is what gimp_appstream_to_pango_markups() expects.
Since so far, this is how all our <release> tags were formatted anyway,
this is not too much of a problem.
Note that I keep the less strict gimp_appstream_to_pango_markup() and
use it for extension's appstream description as we will have no control
over these.
The main reason for this new rule and new display of our release notes
is that I am going to add the ability to click independent release items
so that people can get "blinking" indications of what changed when
relevant.
For some reason, our flatpak is moving the appstream file elsewhere,
after installation (since all our scripts explicitly install it under
metainfo/).
So in flatpak, it is in /app/share/appdata/ (i.e. $DATADIR/appdata/).
This is not right and should not be done by the flatpak system, but
let's still verify this other location as it is legacy so it would not
be totally impossible that some distributions do something similar when
packaging GIMP.

As Jacob reports in #6445, on a big-size monitor, the dialog is just too
big, this can be seen in particular with all the space left between info
text. Trying a new logic where I simply leave the dialog to be
allocated, then once I get its size, I generate an image roughly this
same size. This should avoid overly big images.
Thanks to Liam for the fix/feedback on IRC. There was a typo (s/if/it)
and some better wording proposition.

I realized the "recent-contributor" template was checking
`last-active >=2 and minor version >= 8`. Because of the second part of
this test, anyone with a last a last-active value of 3.0 was ironically
not included as recent contributors!
Meanwhile, I am bumping the definition of recent as 2.10 and over
(rather than 2.8 and over), for GIMP 3.0 release. Last thing, I am now
sorting by descending last-active (so contributors in GIMP 3.0 are shown
first).
There is really nothing specific to the core application, it is quite a
generic widget, so it would be nice for plug-ins to be able to use this
widget.
The 3 available formats are: simple text search, regular expressions and
glob patterns (cf. previous commit). I did a small step back from
previous commit by getting "is-pattern" property back in GimpItemList
instead of having this case as a value of GimpSelectMethod. The reason
is that it would render a useless value in the Preferences combo box.
Text search is the default.
Saving a thumbnail is closely related to the other metadata preferences,
but so far this was the only one that didn't have a preference for a
default user value.
This commit adds a preference in the metadata section where a user can
select whether thumbnail saving is enabled by default or not.
Fix the search for previous folders, which was broken as it was
specifically expecting 1-digit numbers so far.
The differences of the GIMP 3 config import are:
- update sizes and positions in the sessionrc according to the scale
factor, because GTK2 doesn't have scale support. It means that, e.g.
with a 2× display, all sizes and positions in GIMP 2.x must be divided
by 2 (otherwise the first thing many people will get when testing GIMP
3 for the first time is an off-screen window).
Of course, I even wondered if it would not be nice to just drop the
sessionrc altogether and start with a nice blank slate, but then you
also lose the opened dock and their organization and some settings
(such as whether you chose single or multi window mode, etc.).
- scripts/ and plug-ins/ are not imported. Probably makes no sense so
far as they would end up broken (but maybe it's not true for all
script-fu scripts?).
Since the recent changes to add template ability, there are just too
many widgets stacked up vertically. Let's use a little better the
horizontal space.
To do this, I moved the preview on the right side of the "Canvas Size"
and "Offset" number fields, and the "Center" button just below it.
Let's move the g_date_time_format() to the inner block when it's
actually used, hence also make sure we allocate and free at the same
code level, which is a better practice to limit leaks.
Reported by Massimo.
As explained in GTK docs, size groups are referenced by every internal
widget hence can be immediately unref-ed after we added widgets in it.
In the end, when the widgets are destroyed (thus removed from the
group), the group will end up freed too.
Reported by Massimo.
In Linux, I never paid attention to it because it was already working as
expected (i.e. Ctrl-n followed by Enter for instance would directly
create the image), but when testing GIMP on Windows for the installer,
these last few days, I realized that hitting Enter when focus was on the
dimension entries was doing nothing. Having to move the pointer to click
a button on Windows was frustrating. So let's make OK the official
"default response" directive for this dialog.
In some cases, in particular for actions generated from plug-in
procedure right now, we were displaying the reason of the insensitivity
(typically right now, only the drawable type is cited). This was done by
appending the reason to the tooltip, separated by 2 newlines, which
resulted in extra ugly design, no nice way to style this info directly
(with pango for instance if the widget display allows it, or on a
separate info widget in a possible future, or whatnot).
Also it would mean that the action search could match a disabled action
by mistake if a search word happens to be in the reason message.
This improves the situation with the following changes:
* gimp_action_set_sensitive() now takes an optional reason string to set
the reason message.
* Same for gimp_action_group_set_action_sensitive().
* gimp_action_get_sensitive() returns an optional reason string.
* gimp_procedure_get_sensitive()'s tooltip return value now becomes a
reason (it won't contain anymore the tooltip and the reason
concatenated, only the reason for separate processing).
which will be shown when selected template pixel density don't
match the image pixel density.
Then user can either keep current image ppi and scale the
template or set image ppi to match the template ppi.
Density selector displayed only when template and image ppi
differs and template unit is matches one of real world units
(e.g. inch, mm, etc).
Closes: GNOME/gimp#1140
This should not be necessary and I could not find the bug in GIMP. It
might be in GTK. In any case, after hiding, then showing back the export
dialog, the file name is right but not the output folder (apparently
revert to current working directory?).
With this, we force it to be the same folder as we left the dialog.
Adds option for selecting predefined page sizes using the same
template selector as on "New Image" dialog.
Syncs up size and offset unit selectors to have the same value
when changing template and when resetting whole dialog.
Since we now hide the file dialog when exporting, progression ends up
invisible, which is especially a problem with big files. Therefore use
the image display as a GimpProgress to show progression.
When running several times an export plug-in while one is still running,
the export file dialog may get destroyed and the second running plug-in
would try to call functions on a destroyed dialog, hence crashing core
GIMP.
Using a `GtkListBox` allows us to make more complex widgets when trying
to showcase an icon theme. For example, we can make the example icon a
bit bigger so you don't have to squeeze your eyes to distinsguish them
one from another.
Other possibilities we can do with this widget, is for example making
the folder label clickable to open the file explorer, or add a flat
button at the end with the same purpose. Since it's now just a
`GtkLabel`, we can also make the path selectable (for copy-pasting).
Using a `GtkListBox` in the "Image Window Title & Statusbar formats"
preference pane allows us to make more complex rows, such as adding a
visual example of how the format string behaves on a given image title.
This commit just converts the `GtkTreeView` into a `GtkListBox`, so
nothing has functionally changed (yet), except that rows now give
feedback when the user hovers over them.
In gimp_dialog_factory_register_entry(), strings were passed to gettext
without checking for a NULL pointer. The gettext documentation [1]
points out that that's undefined behavior, and musl libc's
implementation of gettext segfaults in that case.

We are piling up the export dialog, then the specific plug-in dialog,
then possibly more dialog (cf. upcoming commits for metadata handling).
It's just too much and we end up in a mess of dialogs.
Of course, if the export fails or it is canceled, we are back to the
file dialog, which gets shown again, whereas if it succeeds, the file
dialog is destroyed (just as it already used to be).
Also anyway the file dialog is completely deactivated while the export
dialog is displayed, so it's just useless. Finally some export support
have features where looking at the canvas is useful, for instance JPEG
preview feature. With all these dialogs, it's nearly impossible to look
at the canvas (with a single display at least).
A -quick done- first step towards the addition of a smart selection tool.
Require the gegl:paint-select workshop operation.
Still LOT of work to do (wip):
- fluctuations removal (GEGL side)
- multilevels pyramid approach + banded graphcut for instant result on large
image (GEGL ? GIMP ?)
- Gaussian Mixtures for color models (GEGL side)
- drawable offsets (GIMP side)
- undo / redo (GIMP side)
- scribbles edition mode (GIMP side)
- dedicated icons
- ...
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.
Instead of setting always manually the step and page increments when
creating a GimpScaleEntry, let's just generate some common cases
automatically. Indeed the increments are rarely something you want to
care about. The algorithm used is:
- For a range under 1.0, use a hundredth and a tenth (typically a [0,
1.0] range will step-increment of 0.01 and page-increment of 0.1).
- For small ranges (under 40), step-increment by 1, page-increment by 2.
- For bigger ranges, step-increment by 1, page-increment by 10.
For use cases when you absolutely want specific increment values, I add
the gimp_scale_entry_set_increments() function. It is much better to
have a small and understandable constructor call followed by
configuration calls (only when needed) rather than a constructor with a
crazy amount of parameters. Hence gimp_scale_entry_new() went from 17
arguments (absolutely unreadable calls) to now 5.
