… gimp_file_create_thumbnail().
One more case where "save" is misleading, and even more as it's not a
procedure where we control where an image is stored. We only say
basically "make a thumbnail which maps to this file according to my
platform's rules".
As a side fix, I also improved a bit the logic so that it allows @file
to be the exported or — as last fallback — the imported file.
And finally improve the function's docs.
Followup of the save/export difference, plug-ins can only register
"export" handler procedure (save handlers are registered by core). Also
rename _gimp_pdb_set_file_proc_save_handler() though it's private so it
doesn't matter much.
Now gimp_file_save() is a special case, because it can indeed "save" to
XCF or "export" to any other format. So I just leave it named this way,
but I make the function's documentation more exhaustive.
- Fix annotations for gimp_export_options_get_image() to make it
actually introspectable with the GimpImage being both input and
output. Even though the logic doesn't change much (the input image may
be overriden or not), it doesn't matter for introspection because
images are handled centrally by libgimp and therefore must not be
freed. Actually deleting the image from the central list of images
though remains a manual action depending on code logic, not some
automatic action to be handled by binding engines.
- Add G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to gimp_export_options_get_image()
because ignoring the returned value is rarely a good idea (as you
usually want to delete the image).
- Remove gimp_export_options_new(): we don't need this constructor
because at this point, the best is to tell plug-in developers to just
pass NULL everywhere. This leaves us free to create a more useful
default constructor if needed, in the future. Main description for
GimpExportOptions has also been updated to say this.
- Add a data_destroy callback for the user data passed in
gimp_export_procedure_set_capabilities().
- Fixing annotations of 'export_options' object from pdb/pdb.pl: input
args would actually be (nullable) and would not transfer ownership
(calling code must still free the object). Return value's ownership on
the other hand is fully transfered.
- Add C and Python unit testing for GimpExportOptions and
gimp_export_options_get_image() in particular.
- Fix or improve various details.
Note that I have also considered for a long time changing the signature
of gimp_export_options_get_image() to return a boolean indicating
whether `image` had been replaced (hence needed deletion) or not. This
also meant getting rid of the GimpExportReturn enum. Right now it would
work because there are no third case, but I was considering the future
possibility that for instance we got some impossible conversion for some
future capability. I'm not sure it would ever happen; and for sure, this
is not desirable because it implies an export failure a bit late in the
workflow. But just in case, let's keep the enum return value. It does
not even make the using code that much more complicated (well just a
value comparison instead of a simple boolean test).
This patch creates a GimpExportOptions class in both
libgimpbase and in libgimp. Currently it is a mostly empty
object, but it will be added to after 3.0 to allow for
additional export options (like resizing on export while
leaving the original image intact)
libgimp/gimpexport.c was removed, and most of its content
was copied into libgimp/gimpexportoptions.c. gimp_export_image ()
was replaced with gimp_export_options_get_image () in all
export plug-ins.
GimpExportProcedure has a new function to set the default
image capabilities for each plug-in on creation. It also sets up
a new callback function, which allows the options to respond to
user setting changes (such as toggling 'Save as Animation' in the
GIF or WEBP Plug-in).
Fix the dependency by making the stamp an actual (yet empty/no-op)
header file which is included by all generated source file. This way, we
ensure that meson rebuild .o files when the .pdb sources are changed.
This is the second solution proposed by eli-schwartz here:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10196#issuecomment-1080053413
Since it appeared with GLib 2.68.0, we could not change this until we
bumped the dependency which has only become possible a few days ago
(since Debian testing is our baseline for dependency bumps). Cf.
previous commit.
As this is a drop-in replacement (just a guint parameter changed to
gsize to avoid integer overflow), search-and-replace with:
> sed -i 's/g_memdup\>/g_memdup2/g' `grep -rIl 'g_memdup\>' *`
… followed by a few manual alignment tweaks when necessary.
This gets rid of the many deprecation warnings which we had lately when
building with a recent GLib version.
This commit just changes our saving API (i.e. the GimpSaveProcedure
class) to take an array of drawables as argument instead of a single
drawable.
It actually doesn't matter much for exporting as the whole API seems
more or less bogus there and all formats plug-ins mostly care only
whether they will merge/flatten all visible layers (the selected ones
don't really matter) or if the format supports layers of some sort. It
may be worth later strengthening a bit this whole logics, and maybe
allow partial exports for instance.
As for saving, it was not even looking at the passed GimpDrawable either
and was simply re-querying the active layer anyway.
Note that I don't implement the multi-selection saving in XCF yet in
this commit. I only updated the API. The reason is that the current
commit won't be backportable to gimp-2-10 because it is an API break. On
the other hand, the code to save multi-selection can still be backported
even though the save() API will only pass a single drawable (as I said
anyway, this argument was mostly bogus until now, hence it doesn't
matter much for 2.10 logics).
and in an attack of madness, changes almost all file plug-in
code to use GFile instead of filenames, which means passing
the GFile down to the bottom and get its filename at the very
end where it's actually needed.
It's an ancient concept from ancient times when we didn't have URIs
and only filenames (not to speak of GFile), and actually even from
before the ancient time before that ancient time when we first had
ones and zeros, and only had zeros.
