Use UILayout::template_popup_confirm to replace workarounds that didn't
work very well.
- Resolve "Add Repository..." button in the dialog not closing the
popup when pressed.
- Add a "Cancel" button while the remote resository data is
downloading.
- Remove the hack to scale the UILayout to hide the existing
confirm/cancel buttons.
Resolves#124098.
Some errors were reported as warnings because they didn't prevent the
operation from completing (such as failing to remove some paths when
uninstalling).
Change message types for the extensions internal command line program:
- Add "fatal error" to use when an operation fails and exits with a
non-zero error code.
- Use "error" when an operation fails which doesn't prevent other
actions from succeeding.
- Use "warn" reporting issues what don't prevent the operation
from completing but may cause problems.
When dropping an extension into Blender, check if the extensions is
part of a remote repository which is then used to set the default
repository.
This makes it more convenient to download larger extensions from
remote repositories using a web-browser & drop them into Blender after,
rather than dropping the URL directly into Blender.
Rigify was recently added to the core add-ons, and is now
translatable. This change fixes many issues that made messages
poorly or not translatable.
- Replace f-strings and % formatting with str.format().
- Use iface_ and rpt_ to translate formatted strings.
- Rename metarig submenus from "<Category> (submenu)" to simply
"<Category>" to allow the menu entries and submenus to have the same
name and be translated. The label was awkward anyway in my opinion.
- Remove trailing "." in operator reports.
- Operator descriptions use tip_() since they will be displayed in
tooltips.
- Extension messages:
- Split "(Add-on|Theme) \"{:s}\" already installed!" into two
messages.
- Use rpt_() to translate error messages.
- Restore core add-on name and description translation.
- Use DATA_ to translate paint material slot name, so that translation
happens only if the user enabled it for user-created data.
- Node Wrangler contains functions used to build operators' poll
methods. This change allows them to be properly translated by using
str.format() instead of f-strings, and explicit extraction with
tip_().
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/123795
Enforce tags from extensions.blender.org with support for using an
alternate set of tags (for other repositories), or no tag validation
at all if the repositories choose not to enforce this.
- By default building & validating an extensions fails when unknown
tags are used.
- The option `--valid-tags`` has been added which can either:
- Reference a JSON file which lists valid tags per extension type.
- Pass in an empty string to disable tag validation.
Default to constraining packages to use Blender's official tags as every
extension defining their own tags is likely to result in many similar
tags & a bad user experience. Details in code-comments.
Implements #123986.
- Report when a repository is added since it's not so clear from the
popup that a new repository has been added.
- Fix for missing redraw after selecting all/none tags.
- Also access the tags property once instead of getting it for each
button.
Changes the the extension repositories in the preferences while
update notifications were running could raise an exception.
Resolve by only calculating outdated extensions for
repositories that still exist.
Previously add-ons were sorted by category & name, remove the category
only sorting by name since the category is no longer displayed and
isn't part of extension meta-data. Now the add-ons are sorted by name
(case insensitive).
Details:
- Store add-ons modules sorted to avoid having to sort on every redraw.
- addon_utils.modules() now returns an iterator.
The "repository" in links from the generated HTML was only valid when
the URL did not contain a path component.
Resolve by supporting relative "repository".
This simplifies referencing the JSON from a generated HTML since
a relative link doesn't need to know the repositories absolute URL
to the destination.
Extensions with a manifest that can't be parsed caused can exception
in the add-ons UI.
Account for errors loading the manifest, falling back to dummy values
& show a warning that the exceptions manifest could not be parsed.
