Selected commits
SVN commit 988913 by cgilles:
use frame around template settings
1 file changed
SVN commit 988924 by aclemens:
Do not call methods in the forloop that will return the same value
anyway. It's enough to call them once and use the resulting values in
the forloop.
updatePixmap becomes a little bit faster this way, I can not notice this
by just "looking" at it, but callgrind tells me so :-)
1 file changed
SVN commit 989104 by aclemens:
Gilles,
I would suggest to use this layout. It looks better in setup template,
don't you think? The other version is too stretched, and the copyright
one is wider than the useTerms widget.
Just revert it if you don't like it ;-)

SVN commit 989070 by aclemens:
Use copy instead of creating an tmp image and crop it. Seems to be a
little bit faster (according to callgrind).
1 file changed
SVN commit 989067 by aclemens:
Performance again: Save some method calls to convertToPixmap. We don't
need this every time for the previewGrayOverlay, only in the
resizeEvent.
Also use a pixmap instead of an DImg for previewGrayOverlay
1 file changed
SVN commit 989063 by aclemens:
More performance: Don't draw the gray overlay every time a mouse event
occurs.
Creating the overlay in the resizeEvent is enough.
This greatly improves the imageselectionwidget on my machine.

SVN commit 989100 by cgilles:

SVN commit 989154 by aclemens:
Adjust size to fit items and icons in the combobox widget
1 file changed
SVN commit 989239 by mwiesweg:
Use a radio button and a separate QLabel, which only is styled, to workaround styling
problems (white color of text is reused for indicator in radio button circle)
BUG: 195809
2 files changed
SVN commit 989198 by mwiesweg:
There are a few strategic places where a chunk memory is allocated the size of which was read
from an image file. By trying to load a very big image or an image with a corrupt header
the allocation may fail, leading to std::bad_alloc thrown and abort() called.
Wrap these allocations in try { } catch (std::bad_alloc) in the hope of converting
such crashes into mere failures.

SVN commit 989530 by aclemens:
fix some layout issues.

SVN commit 989673 by aclemens:
To avoid flickering while reading the settings of the RatioCropTool, we
need to change the constructor of the ImageSelectionWidget a little bit.
We need a flag that turns off selection drawing, and it needs to be set
during construction, a simple setter call is not enough.
CCBUG:197386

SVN commit 989672 by aclemens:
Read settings correctly, but now the selection widget is flickering
again. I need to add some mechanism to avoid this.

SVN commit 990064 by mwiesweg:
Add a method to change the identifier of an existing album root
2 files changed
SVN commit 990065 by mwiesweg:
Combined commit:
1) Fix the problem of breaking kioslaves by clearing the collection manager.
clear() would instantiate DatabaseAccess() for the first time and thus
cause the call to refresh() that was supposed to happen only after clear().
Calls are now disentangled
2) Preliminary code for solving the problem of changed UUIDs of hard-wired
collections (175923)
3 files changed
SVN commit 990109 by aclemens:
A little speed improvement: we call getPixelColor() a lot of times in
some filters, especially when running over the whole image data.
To save us from a lot of method calls, query the appropriate values
directly instead of using the getter methods.
This saves a lot of calls and some computation time, according to
callgrind, for example in the simple sharpen filter.

Pass unregistered template data to Caption and tags to be able to see template contents as well.
Still TODO : make a easy way to registered unknown template data in digiKam collection.

SVN commit 990277 by aclemens:
Some more performance improvement: do not use getters here.
The sharpen filter has become a little bit faster now (release build).

To save us from a lot of method calls, query the appropriate values

This saves a lot of calls and some computation time, according to
callgrind, for example in the simple sharpen filter.
I tested this with release build and thought that the getters will be
used inline, but somehow they were not. So using the members directly
instead of calling the getters seems to be necessary.

SVN commit 990542 by mwiesweg:
Implement automatic migration for a case when a "hard-wired" collection is no longer found.
This may happen if the user restores a backup, changes the file system etc.
In this case, we scan the available volumes for migration candidates, where the old
relative path exists. These candidates are presented for choice.
In the most common case (one data partition, UUID changed) there will be exactly one
candidate here.
The second option is to mark a collection as removable, if autodetection failed or
the user likes to use his screwdriver a lot.
Third option is to do nothing ("I would like to solve the problem later using the setup dialog").
In this case, however, the message will just popup at every startup.
BUG: 175923
2 files changed
SVN commit 990541 by mwiesweg:
Add a method to retrieve a user-presentable yet technical description of a given identifier
(relative path, UUID or volume label).
Change API of migrationCanditates to be more friendly, dump QPair.

SVN commit 990986 by mwiesweg:
Check that the newly created QImage is not null, which may happen if memory allocation fails.
CCBUG: 197254

SVN commit 991005 by mwiesweg:
Part B of the problem: Do not call updateScrollBars after layoutChanged(); everything is invalid!
Fix possible crash from Part A's solution.
2 files changed
SVN commit 990995 by mwiesweg:
Part A of the problem: Try to preserve selection across layoutChanged().
Simply store one persistent index and one row number to indicate where about
the selection was before the layout change. That's not perfect but simple
and works for most cases.

SVN commit 991767 by mwiesweg:
Take into account that a NULL value will prevent a UNIQUE restriction taking effect.
1) In ImageComments, treat an empty author like a null author
2) When upgrading - there will still be users upgrading from 0.9, work around it
by deleting all affected entries before upgrading the image comments from the old db
Users already affected by this bug need to solve it manually as outlined in the bug report.
