Megapixels counter

Hi!

There's a small thing that I missed in GIMP for some time. That thing is a megapixel counter to add to window title or status. It's quite useful for considering if image can be used as a stock graphics, since most stocks constrain acceptable image sizes by Mp value. If somebody thinks the same as me that this is worth including here's a micro-patch:

--- gimp/app/display/gimpdisplayshell-title.c.old 2010-09-27 01:37:29.040691516 +0200 +++
gimp/app/display/gimpdisplayshell-title.c 2010-09-27 01:35:02.591824852 +0200 @@ -322,6 +322,15 @@ } break;

+ case 'M': /* image size in megapixels */ + {
+ i += print (title, title_len, i, "%.2f", + (gfloat) (gimp_image_get_width (image) + * gimp_image_get_height (image)) + / 1000000); + }
+ break;
+
case 'l': /* number of layers */ i += print (title, title_len, i, "%d", gimp_image_get_n_layers (image));

Hi!

IMO we need to make it easier than editing a complex format-string to get this info in the window title.

But that's a different project...

Are you sure it is best to divide with 1000000 and not 1024*1024?

Well… I haven't thought of that, to be frank, since I'm comfy with the current state of things :). Also, I just wanted to fill the gap that was important for me.

Yes, I'm sure. Megapixel is decimal unit so 10e6 is right.

As an afterthought I would change presentation from 2 to 1 decimal places. I don't think there's much use of having such precise measurement as 1/100 of MP.

Best regards! thebodzio

I can certainly see that showing size in megapixels can be useful for our target user base. We're even lucky enough to have the prefect char 'M' free for it. So I have pushed a cleaned up version of your patch (that only uses 1 decimal) to git master:

You missed to add the documentation for this new option. But I have taken care of that now:

That's great news! Thanks for accepting and modifying my patch!
