Description |
Bug |
Owner |
Status |
GitLab CD and CI |
Leveraging GitLab's continuous delivery to generate Flatpak bundles will make it easier to try out any commit, including those from feature branches and merge requests; and having continuous integration means that patches can be reviewed with greater certainty. |
Jordan Petridis |
Done |
|
Update icon |
Update the application icon for the GNOME 3.32 icon redesign. |
Done |

Unit tests |
Verifying that the internal APIs don't regress and work as expected would help reviewing new contributions by leveraging the CI. |

Launch Settings in a Flatpak-friendly way |
Ensure that Settings -> Online Accounts can be launched when running as a Flatpak. |
Done |
||
Reduce memory fragmentation in ImageView |
Instead of allocating and de-allocating memory for the throwaway Cairo surface on every invocation of the GtkWidget::draw virtual method, allocate a memory area big enough to draw the entire widget and keep re-using it. |
Done |
||
Port to Meson |
Add support for building with the Meson build system. |
Done |

Done |
|
Zoom gesture |
Support for touch gestures for zooming. |
Debarshi Ray, Jan-Michael Brummer |
Done |
|
Improve WindowMode state machine (contd.) |
Add a separate WindowMode for showing the contents of a collection, tighten the transitions, and ensure that search is always global. |

Shadows and highlights |
Editing tools to adjust the shadows and highlights of an image. |
Done |

Support all EXIF rotation modes |
Support the "mirror" modes, in addition to the most common ones that already work. |

||
Avoid EPSes |
Even though Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files can be considered images (they are classified as nmm:Photo), there is no EPS decoder in GEGL and they are currently rendered by EvView in GNOME. One option is to write a decoder based on GIMP's EPS plug-in. Anyway, let's avoid them until we can render and thumbnail them. |
Done |
||
Crop constraint animation |
Animate updates to the crop rectangle due to preset changes. |
Done |
||
Store edits in side-car files |
Storing the edits in user-visible side-car files, like Darktable, will give better interoperability with Files. |
