This is not the main reason for the specific output in #9994. These ones are
more probably because of similar usage in GTK (which updated its own calls to
g_file_info_get_is_hidden|backup() in version 3.24.38). But we should likely
also update the various calls we have to use the generic
g_file_info_get_attribute_*() variants.
To be fair, it is unclear to me when we can be sure that an attribute is set.
For instance, when we call g_file_enumerate_children() or g_file_query_info()
with specific attributes, docs say that it is still possible for these
attributes to not be set. So I assume it means we should never use direct
accessor functions.
The only exception is that I didn't remove usage of g_file_info_get_name(),
since its docs says:
> * Gets a display name for a file. This is guaranteed to always be set.
Even though it also says just after:
> * It is an error to call this if the #GFileInfo does not contain
> * %G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME.
Which is very contradictory. But assuming that this error warning was
over-zealous documentation, I kept the direct accessors since they are supposed
to be slightly more optimized (still according to in-code documentation) so
let's priorize them when we know they are set for sure.
This reverts commit 82f9ae1ab7.
This is not needed anymore. Cf. previous commit which implements the
force-requery differently and much more widely based on actual language
being stored and compared between runs.
Since localization is fully handled plug-in side now (see #8124), we
need to make sure the query functions are run again for all plug-ins
when the UI language changes (otherwise we might end up with
localizations from the previously used languages).
We were already reloading plug-ins when explicitly changing the lang in
the Preferences, but this new implementation is much better as it's
generic. In particular, it will also handle the case when the system
language changes (or when you play with locale environment variables).
Plug-in localization was always partially plug-in side, especially for
things like custom GUI. But labels or blurb in GIMP (such as in menus or
action search) were localizing GIMP side.
It had many drawbacks:
- To get menu localization, a plug-in had to set up gettext, even though
they might want to use something else for their GUI (after all, giving
facilities for gettext is a good idea, but there is no reason to force
using this system).
- There was a complex internal system passing the localization domain
name, as well as the catalog file system path to core, then through
various classes which we can now get rid of.
- There could be domain name clashes, if 2 plug-ins were to use the same
i18n domain name. This was handled in now removed functions
gimp_plug_in_manager_get_locale_domains() by simply keeping a unique
one (and gimp_plug_in_manager_bind_text_domains() would just bind the
domain to the kept directory). In other words, one of the duplicate
plug-ins would use the wrong catalog. We could try to make the whole
thing more complicated or try to forbid plug-ins to use any random
name (in particular made easier with the new extension wrapper). But
anyway this whole issue doesn't happen anymore if localization is
fully made plug-in side, so why bother?
I tried to evaluate the advantages of the core-side localization of
plug-in labels/blurbs and could only find one theoretical: if we wanted
to keep access to the original English text. This could be useful
(theoretically) if we wanted to search (e.g. in the action search) in
both localized and English text; or if we wanted to be able to swap
easily en/l10n text in a UI without reload. But even if we were to ever
do this, it would only be possible for plug-ins (GEGL operations in
particular are localized GEGL-side), so it lacks consistency. And it's
unsure why special-casing English should really make sense for other
language natives who want text in their lang, and search in their lang.
They don't necessarily care about original.
So in the end, I decided to simplify the whole thing, make localization
of plug-ins a plug-in side thing. Core will only receive translated text
and that's it. It cuts a lot of code out of the core, simplify runtime
processing and make plug-in creation simpler to understand.
The only think I still want to look at is how exactly menu paths are
translated right now. Note that it still works, but it's possible that
some things may be worth improving/simplifying on this side too.
I hesitated a lot whether we should just drop the whole localization of
plug-ins' label and description (blurb) within the core. Actually the
commit messages I wrote a few days ago were moving towards this logic.
It really looks to me like plug-in localization can happen fully within
plug-in themselves. As far as I can see, the only advantage which the
current logic has theoretically is that if we needed, we have access to
both the original strings and their translations (e.g. it could be
useful for text search). Nevertheless I am not sure if we will ever make
use of this, and this is limited cases as all filters turned GEGL ops
don't have such ability anyway.
Nevertheless since previous contributors clearly put quite a lot of work
on this code of localizing the plug-in's label and description within
the main binary, I want to give myself a little more time to think and
study the whole thing because doing anything rash.
In the meantime, what changes is that by default now, a plug-in without
a local gettext catalog is simply not localized. In particular, the core
process doesn't try to localize it using the default catalog, a.k.a.
GETTEXT_PACKAGE"-std-plug-ins" ("gimp30-std-plug-ins"). It just doesn't
make sense and the worst which could happen would be to get unexpected
and wrong translations.
Now by default, plug-ins will try to find a catalog in their main
folder, named as this folder. If it fails to find it, a message is
printed to stderr and localization is disabled (rather than falling back
to a default catalog). It is up to plug-in developers to either install
a catalog, or implement set_i18n() to give the right catalog, folder, or
disable localization with gettext, as handled by libgimp.
Some strings might be generated during query() call, in particular all
strings related to procedure parameters. The core will only know the
localized version at query() time, so you could end up in situation with
the core showing you the wrong language. This can be reproduced in the
Procedure Browser when it shows localized procedure data: when you
change the language and restart GIMP, if the plug-ins aren't re-queried,
then it will still show the localization of query time.
Note that it doesn't matter on plug-in side, i.e. anything in the run()
call is properly localized, included the plug-in GUI using the same
procedure parameters for widget labels or tooltips. Only the "vision" of
the core is stuck at what it got when the plug-in was last queried, and
until the next update of the plug-in.
The CLI options now know which procedures are batch procedures or not.
First it means that it won't just randomly try any procedure name one
may pass and will properly output an error if you pass a non-existing
interpreter procedure.
Secondly, there is no default interpreter anymore (unless only one
interpreter exists). If you don't set an interpreter procedure with
--batch-interpreter or if you pass a wrong one, it will output the list
of available batch procedure, thus helping you understanding how to use
the --batch option.
gimp_plug_in_manager_add_to_db() used to call the PDB in order
to properly register file procedures from pluginrc. This broke
when I moved code to gimpplugin-file.c.
Instead, add gimp_plug_in_manager_add_load_procedure() and
gimp_plug_in_manager_add_save_procedure() and call them from both
gimpplugin-file.c and gimp_plug_in_manager_add_to_db(), which also has
the nice side effect that more GimpFileProcedureGroup logic gets moved
to its place in gimppluginmanager-file.c and less magic is needed in
gimpplugin-file.c.
This is useful to be able to support file formats other than image
formats. In particular I will use this in the next commit to support a
"GIMP extension" format. When GIMP will open such file, it will
install an extension (not open an image on canvas).
This is an internal flag only, i.e. only usable from core GIMP. File
formats which a plug-in can register are still only image file formats.
Add a gimp-register-file-handler-priority procedure, which can be
used to set the priority of a file-handler procedure. When more
than one file-handler procedure matches a file, the procedure with
the lowest priority is used; if more than one procedure has the
lowest priority, it is unspecified which one of them is used. The
default priority of file-handler procedures is 0.
Add the necessary plumbing (plus some fixes) to the plug-in manager
to handle file-handler priorities. In particular, use two
different lists for each type of file-handler procedures: one meant
for searching, and is sorted according to priority, and one meant
for display, and is sorted alphabetically.
This will in particular fix the whole DLL hell problem since various
plug-ins are now asked to install all their mess (and in particular
their embedded DLLs on Windows) inside their subfolder, hence not
disturbing the correct functionning of other plug-ins installed side by
side.
...with known plugins
Add new plug-in file-raw-placeholder.c that registers itself for
loading all RAW formats from file-raw/file-formats.h, but does nothing
except returning an error message pointing to darktable and
RawTherapee.
When no real RAW loader is installed, this plug-in is selected
automatically as RAW loader, otherwise the first installed RAW loader
is used. Selecting another in prefs still works as before.
We don't search recursively but only at the first level. If a plugin is
in its own subdirectory, the entry point has to be named the same (minus
extension) as the directory. For instance my-plugin/my-plugin for a
binary, or my-plugin/my-plugin.(py|exe|…).
This way, a plugin can load shared objects (libraries, other script
files, etc.) without polluting the main plug-ins directories, and in
particular without interfering with other plug-ins.
This is a first step to fix bug 757057 (DLL files which were used in
various plugins).
Add "import-raw-plug-in" to gimprc, and a new procedure
gimp_register_file_handler_raw(). On startup, remove all load
procedures that are marked as "handles raw" but are not implemented by
the configured plug-in. Add the list of available plug-ins to prefs ->
import/export. Register all file-darktable procedures as handling raw.
It was agreed that we should write "plug-in" consistently. Only possibly
user-visible strings were updated.
Thanks to scootergrisen for a first patch which could not make it
after changing decision on the canonical writing.
gimp_directory_file(), gimp_data_directory_file() etc. The new
functions take a variable list of path elements to the file,
the list has to be NULL-terminated. Remove the newly added
gimp_personal_rc_gfile(). Start using the new functions in app/.
- don't include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h> in headers in app/
- instead, include it in many .c files instead of <glib-object.h>,
finally acknowledging the fact that app/ depends on gdk-pixbuf almost
globally
- fix up includes as if libgimpbase depended in GIO, which it soon will
When we run our tests we want to use plug-ins from the build dir so
the tests can pass also when no make install have been made.
Use the environment variables GIMP_TESTING_PLUGINDIRS and
GIMP_TESTING_PLUGINDIRS_BASENAME_IGNORES for this.
Initially contains antialias, feather and feather radius for the
upcoming gimp-item-to-selection preocedure. Keeping states in the
context reduces the number of parameters of procedures, and both the
state API and the API using the states can be changed/deprecated
independently. Make sure that all procedures and all plug-ins get
GimpPDBContexts instead of plain GimpContexts passed.
Begin to consider GimpObject::name as private and always use
gimp_object_get_name(). Change gimp_object_get_name() to take an
untyped pointer so we don't have to do so awfully many casts. There is
a runtime check for the type inside the function anyway.
