Hi, just wanted to get this out before another week passes, as I probably won't be getting to it before next weekend (or maybe the odd sleepless night). I posted an update to the patch to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325564 which now hides the old layer modes unless they are loaded from an XCF. I haven't addressed anything else in the patch yet (except very minor changes / comments), specifically compositing onto nothing (which I consider definitely buggy now) and babl. But both are actually not specific to the LCH layer modes. About hiding the old layermodes: (This was my first contact with gtk et al., so I hope what I came up with isn't completely braindead) After pursuing some dead-end roads, this is what I finally did: - added 'was_loaded_with_obsolete_modes' to GimpImage (looks a bit lonely there -- I feel like I missed the right place to add the flag) - in gimp_layer_tree_view_init(), create two paint_mode_menus, one 'default' and one 'obsolete'. Connect signal handler / help data to both of them. - instead of gimp_item_tree_view_add_options(), call a modified gimp_item_tree_view_add_options_mul(), which takes a list of options to add to an hbox. (only first one is shown). This saves us passing up a pointer to the hbox and breaking up encapsulation. - in gimp_layer_tree_view_set_image(), show/hide the menus as apropriate and always set paint_mode_menu to the current menu so any other code automatically references the current menu only. One other thing, also not specific to LCH modes, but somewhere in the same orbit: The Soft Light/Overlay 'situation' -- shouldn't we take the opportunity of bumping up the XCF version to finally fix that, too? I'd volunteer for the grunt-work, if only I knew which one needs to be changed and to what.
