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.
- Set the "gimp30-python" Gettext domain and bind it to the proper
locale directory as installed by GIMP.
- Localize various strings with gettext.
- Remove calls to self.set_translation_domain() in
do_query_procedures(). This is technically wrong right now but I am
going to get rid of the menu item localization for plug-ins done by
the core.
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.
Oups, I left the plug-in as Python 2. This was still a good
proof-of-concept that GIMP 3 will support as well Python 2 and Python 3
(even though Python 2 is end-of-life soon anyway).
This first version will just offset by 1 in interactive mode, by
default. The GIMP 2 version used to have a GUI, but it was not created
by the plug-in itself. I am guessing that maybe our Python wrapper used
to create GUI by default.
If so, this will have to change. Python plug-ins will be responsible of
their own GUI, just like C plug-ins.
