- moved from WM to Screen code (it uses active area)
- less code :) result of cleaning some calls
- added WM_window_open() to WM API for this
- now opens new window on top of area, and leaves old screen unaffected
(simple, atomic, the 'do not think for user' convention :)
* Added start of lamp wrapping (code by Michael Fox).
* Add back Object.data, was crashing with unknown data type.
* Added support for using consecutive variables like float r, g, b;
as an array without writing a manual get/set function.
* Also note the RNA documentation is updated now to be more
about how to define RNA and use it, including some diagrams.

- cleaned up join and split operations. Most noticable is operator callback
design, which should make a design based on user-less exec() first, then
wrap invoke() and modal() around it. The exec() should be callable with
only Context and properties.
- split now works again; and inversed as previously, if you drag from a
triangle (action zone) inside area it subdivides area as expected.
- dragging from triangle outside area, over an edge, joins areas
- split has been simplified, it had too many options... it could just work
simpler (now)
- 'action zone' now is an operator itself, a widget sending an ACTIONZONE event,
which can be handled by others (so other gestures can be added in action zone
too)
Still evaluating:
- context gets set where?
- code structure confuses... what are proper functions for operators?
- what is WM... should low level screen stuff more there?
- when do you send event, notifier?
- files grow to large, will clean
Oh yeah and docs, docs, docs. Coming! :)
* Added support for ID properties, mapped as follows:
* IDP Int = RNA Int
* IDP Float, Double = RNA Float
* IDP_String = RNA String
* IDP Group = RNA IDPropertyGroup Struct
* IDP_Array = RNA Array
* PropertyRNA and StructRNA are now defined private for the module,
to force external code to always use accessor functions.
* Rename cname to identifier.
* Rename PropertyEnumItem to EnumPropertyItem.
* Wrapped min/max/step/precision, pointer type for RNA.
* Draw FLT_MAX a bit better in buttons.
* Added RNA list viewer. This is currently drawn in the outliner
window, the UI is limited but it is just intended to test RNA
at the moment.
* Added UI names for currently wrapped properties.
* Made iterating collections a bit more convenient.
* Added accessor functions for structs and properties instead of
direct access, in preparation of wrapping ID properties.
* Added more error prints for wrong defines.
* Wrap RNA data structures with RNA.
* Disable dependency code for now to avoid confusion.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r12987:17416
Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
This is based on the current trunk version, so these files should not need
merges. There's two things (clipboard and intptr_t) that are missing in 2.50
and commented out with XXX 2.48, these can be enabled again once trunk is
merged into this branch.
Further this is not all interface code, there are many parts commented out:
* interface.c: nearly all button types, missing: links, chartab, keyevent.
* interface_draw.c: almost all code, with some small exceptions.
* interface_ops.c: this replaces ui_do_but and uiDoBlocks with two operators,
making it non-blocking.
* interface_regions: this is a part of interface.c, split off, contains code to
create regions for tooltips, menus, pupmenu (that one is crashing currently),
color chooser, basically regions with buttons which is fairly independent of
core interface code.
* interface_panel.c and interface_icons.c: not ported over, so no panels and
icons yet. Panels should probably become (free floating) regions?
* text.c: (formerly language.c) for drawing text and translation. this works
but is using bad globals still and could be cleaned up.
Header Files:
* ED_datafiles.h now has declarations for datatoc_ files, so those extern
declarations can be #included instead of repeated.
* The user interface code is in UI_interface.h and other UI_* files.
Core:
* The API for creating blocks, buttons, etc is nearly the same still. Blocks
are now created per region instead of per area.
* The code was made non-blocking, which means that any changes and redraws
should be possible while editing a button. That means though that we need
some sort of persistence even though the blender model is to recreate buttons
for each redraw. So when a new block is created, some matching happens to
find out which buttons correspond to buttons in the previously created block,
and for activated buttons some data is then copied over to the new button.
* Added UI_init/UI_init_userdef/UI_exit functions that should initialize code
in this module, instead of multiple function calls in the windowmanager.
* Removed most static/globals from interface.c.
* Removed UIafterfunc_ I don't think it's needed anymore, and not sure how it
would integrate here?
* Currently only full window redraws are used, this should become per region
and maybe per button later.
Operators:
* Events are currently handled through two operators: button activate and menu
handle. Operators may not be the best way to implement this, since there are
currently some issues with events being missed, but they can become a special
handler type instead, this should not be a big change.
* The button activate operator runs as long as a button is active, and will
handle all interaction with that button until the button is not activated
anymore. This means clicking, text editing, number dragging, opening menu
blocks, etc.
* Since this operator has to be non-blocking, the ui_do_but code needed to made
non-blocking. That means variables that were previously on the stack, now
need to be stored away in a struct such that they can be accessed again when
the operator receives more events.
* Additionally the place in the ui_do_but code indicated the state, now that
needs to be set explicit in order to handle the right events in the right
state. So an activated button can be in one of these states: init, highlight,
wait_flash, wait_release, wait_key_event, num_editing, text_editing,
text_selecting, block_open, exit.
* For each button type an ui_apply_but_* function has also been separated out
from ui_do_but. This makes it possible to continuously apply the button as
text is being typed for example, and there is an option in the code to enable
this. Since the code non-blocking and can deal with the button being deleted
even, it should be safe to do this.
* When editing text, dragging numbers, etc, the actual data (but->poin) is not
being edited, since that would mean data is being edited without correct
updates happening, while some other part of blender may be accessing that
data in the meantime. So data values, strings, vectors are written to a
temporary location and only flush in the apply function.
Regions:
* Menus, color chooser, tooltips etc all create screen level regions. Such menu
blocks give a handle to the button that creates it, which will contain the
results of the menu block once a MESSAGE event is received from that menu
block.
* For this type of menu block the coordinates used to be in window space. They
are still created that way and ui_positionblock still works with window
coordinates, but after that the block and buttons are brought back to region
coordinates since these are now contained in a region.
* The flush/overdraw frontbuffer drawing code was removed, the windowmanager
should have enough information with these screen level regions to have full
control over what gets drawn when and to then do correct compositing.
Testing:
* The header in the time space currently has some buttons to test the UI code.
* Added functions to generate Timer events. There was some unfinished code to
create one timer per window, this replaces that with a way to let operators
or other handlers add/remove their own timers as needed. This is currently
delivered as an event with the timer handle, perhaps this should be a notifier
instead? Also includes some fixes in ghost for timer events that were not
delivered in time, due to passing negative timeout.
* Added a Message event, which is a generic event that can be added by any
operator. This is used in the UI code to communicate the results of opened
blocks. Again, this may be better as a notifier.
* These two events should not be blocked as they are intended for a specific
operator or handler, so there were exceptions added for this, which is one
of the reasons they might work better as notifiers, but currently these
things can't listen to notifier yet.
* Added an option to events to indicate if the customdata should be freed or
not.
* Added a free() callback for area regions, and added a free function for
area regions in blenkernel since it was already there for screens and areas.
* Added ED_screen/area/region_exit functions to clean up things like operators
and handlers when they are closed.
* Added screen level regions, these will draw over areas boundaries, with the
last created region on top. These are useful for tooltips, menus, etc, and
are not saved to file. It's using the same ARegion struct as areas to avoid
code duplication, but perhaps that should be renamed then. Note that redraws
currently go correct, because only full window redraws are used, for partial
redraws without any frontbuffer drawing, the window manager needs to get
support for compositing subwindows.
* Minor changes in the subwindow code to retrieve the matrix, and moved
setlinestyle to glutil.c.
* Reversed argument order in WM_event_add/remove_keymap_handler to be consistent
with modal_handler.
* Operators can now block events but not necessarily cancel/finish.
* Modal operators are now stored in a list in the window/area/region they were
created in. This means for example that when a transform operator is invoked
from a region but registers a handler at the window level (since mouse motion
across areas should work), it will still get removed when the region is closed
while the operator is running.
size buffer if it's big enough, and otherwise allocate memory.
* Added BLI_dynstr_appendf() to construct strings easily in printf
style, this should make it easier to construct menu strings for
example.
This commit adds an exception for rotations (standard rotation and tracball) to still work on children of transformed objects and bones in an expected fashion. That is, you can select a chain of finger bones and rotate to flex them all at once.
Notes:
[1] This could be expended to other transformations if needed.
[2] Center of transformation is determined using the same principle as hinge bones (transformed children aren't taken into account)
* merge the recent scons changes from trunk, so this means that the same rules now apply:
- scons-local available
- platform default configs updated
- check your user-config.py if you have made a full copy of default config
Note: BGE and blenderplayer still not working, but that is normal ;) (so turn them off!)
Modified to work in linux too, on my system subprocess.Popen(appstring) only works when appstring is a list.
Blenders __import__ didnt support keywords like pythons causing the subprocess module to fail for me.
added keywords to blenders c/api import to match pythons.
* Added more error prints for wrong definitions, for cases that
would laters cause problems compiling or crash at runtime, and
also made messages more clear.
* Added some skeleton code for main/ID/mesh/vertex types for testing.
* Added support for automatic arrays as collections using SDNA.
* Changed how pointers to data work. Now they are always wrapped
in a PointerRNA struct, which contains the data pointer and type,
and also the data pointer and type of the ID datablock that this
belongs to, since for example a vertex on it's own may not have
enough information for some operations, it also needs the mesh.
* Added some code for defining dependencies with RNA, and looking up
data with paths like: scenes[0].objects["Cube"].data.verts[7].co.
Note sure either will end up being used, this is experimental.

The problem is that the audio_fill_seq function try to load the hd file
if the sequence don't have it, but it join the two string (directory path +
file path) without the / (Linux... \ Windows), so the result is a wrong path.
I change the the strncpy and strncat function for a BLI_join_dirfile (like
the reload_sequence_new_file) and all work fine now.
Also note that the "them go" that Luca report is (or what happen here) the
ctrl+z function, and now both case work fine here.
(interesting.. date from Feb 05.. 2006 ;)
* add support for building redcode on win32/msvc, but disabled for now, as there are linking problems
- I cleaned the redcode sconscript - the copying of headers within the source tree is not a clean solution
This needs to be fixed later on. For now, lets use redcode from extern/ until a better way is found.
Python dict error: when trying to access a Bone via a key, and the key
was not found, a wrong error message got printed. Fix provided by
reporter Gregor Riepl. Thanks!
When entering a wrong expression (or garbish) in a Nkey panel button,
the cursor jumps to the place where the button was clicked. On failure
the button could return a B_NOP, not a 0
* When making a proxy, the lib linked IPO driver was also changed to
point to the proxy object, and after undo this local proxy object
was replaced so the pointer became invalid. In fact it is not needed
at all to change this because the IPO code maps the pointer to the
local proxy object already.
* Undoing the make proxy operation would crash because the proxy_from
pointer in the library linked object would still point to the removed
object. Now it clears all these pointers before undo, because on each
undo memory file read they will be set again anyway.
Bah... fix for envmaps just before 2.48 release gave good looking envmaps
only when there was no sky involved...
The alpha in environment maps should be reset to 255... something that was
never done before, but also didn't show errors until other fixes in image
rendering were done.
This is the first code for the Data API, also known as RNA system in the
2.5 Branch. It does not include a user interface, and only wraps some
Scene properties for testing. It is integrated with Scons and Makefiles,
and compiles a 'makesrna' program that generates an RNA.c file.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataAPIhttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNA
The changes are quite local, basically adding a makesrna module which
works similar to the makesdna module. The one external change is in
moving genfile.c from blenloader to the makesdna module, so that it can
be reused by the RNA code. This also meant changing the DNA makefiles.
It seems to be doing dependencies correct still in my tests, but if
there is an issue with the DNA not being rebuilt this commit might be
the one causing it. Also it seems for scons the makesdna and makesrna
modules are compiling without warnings. Not a new issue but this should
be fixed.
The RNA code supports all types as defined in the Data API design, so
in that sense it is fairly complete and I hope that aspect will not
have to change much. Some obviously missing parts are context related
code, notify() functions for updates and user defined / ID properties.
