Orientation is now handled by core code, just next to profile conversion handling. One of the first consequence is that we don't need to have a non-GUI version gimp_image_metadata_load_finish_batch() in libgimp, next to a GUI version of the gimp_image_metadata_load_finish() function in libgimpui. This makes for simpler API. Also a plug-in which wishes to get access to the rotation dialog provided by GIMP without loading ligimpui/GTK+ (for whatever reason) will still have the feature. The main advantage is that the "Don't ask me again" feature is now handled by a settings in `Preferences > Image Import & Export` as the "Metadata rotation policy". Until now it was saved as a global parasite, which made it virtually non-editable once you checked it once (no easy way to edit parasites except by scripts). So say you refused the rotation once while checking "Don't ask again", and GIMP will forever discard the rotation metadata without giving you a sane way to change your mind. Of course, I could have passed the settings to plug-ins through the PDB, but I find it a lot better to simply handle such settings core-side. The dialog code is basically the same as an app/dialogs/ as it was in libgimp, with the minor improvement that it now takes the scale ratio into account (basically the maximum thumbnail size will be bigger on higher density displays). Only downside of the move to the core is that this rotation dialog is raised only when you open an image from the core, not as a PDB call. So a plug-in which makes say a "file-jpeg-load" PDB call, even in INTERACTIVE run mode, won't have rotation processed. Note that this was already the same for embedded color profile conversion. This can be wanted or not. Anyway some additional libgimp calls might be of interest to explicitly call the core dialogs. |

------------------------------
GNU Image Manipulation Program
2.99 Development Branch
------------------------------
This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
way to the next stable release: GIMP 3. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do what
you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file HACKING. For
detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
1. Web Resources
================
GIMP's home page is at:
https://www.gimp.org/
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins, using a convenient
forms-based interface.
The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
2. Mailing Lists
================
We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development
discussion. There is more info at
https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html
Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page.
Gimp-user-list is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer-list is oriented
to GIMP core and plug-in developers. Gimp-gui-list is for discussing
about GIMP interface to improve user experience. Most people will only
want to be subscribed to gimp-user-list. If you want to help develop
GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting point; if you
want to help with GUI design, the gimp-gui list is where you want to
subscribe.
3. IRC
======
And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
GIMP. On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is
#gimp. Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet
servers are:
irc.gimp.org:6667
irc.us.gimp.org:6667
irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
4. Customizing
==============
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop.
You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file
to `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/menurc`. You can also manually change
the keybindings to any of your choice by editing:
`${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/menurc`.
Have fun,
