This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
In fact, most "UI special cases" are not well translated, currently. :/ This affects especially the "Properties" panels. This commit should address problems in Graph editors, and 3D View (but probably not yet all of them). Yet it already adds more than 100 new messages (and fixes translated drawing of more).
Also done some style edits…
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
Added option display_type to WM_operator_properties_filesel which defines which file
display type (short/list/icons/default) should be used for file browser.
All current operators are using FILE_DEFAULTDISPLAY display type which means display
type will still be calculated based on type of opening file and user preferences
settings. Recover Auto Save operator is now using long display type so file date can
easily be checked now.
Reviewed by Andrea, thanks!
Improved error messages presented when trying to paste keyframes.
Previously, "No keyframes to paste" would always be displayed, even if
the copy/paste buffer had some contents but couldn't be pasted if
there weren't any F-Curves selected to paste to.
handle/key
This used to be a weird per-curve setting which would happen to get
applied/work correctly if handles were set to "auto", and was a source
of constant confusion for both old and new animators. The main effect
of this handle-type/option was really to just ensure that auto-handles
stayed horizontal, instead of tilting as the keys were moved.
This commit simply changes this from a per-curve to per
keyframe/handle setting.
Extrapolation" tool again
Added "Make Cyclic" and "Clear Cyclic" options to "Set Extrapolation"
tool (found from Channels menu) in Animation Editors. These options
simply add or remove (respectively) Cycles FModifiers from the
selected F-Curves, making them have cyclic extrapolation with a single
click, instead of having to go through the FModifiers UI (or Graph-
Editor only "Add FModifier" operator), which should make it easier to
do this apparently common chore.
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
* Removed list-expanders for Materials, Textures, and Particles. So
instead of:
Object
Materials
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
we now have
Object
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
This makes it faster+easier to get to these items. If you don't want
to see all of these, you can still use the data-block filters from the
header to hide these.
* Internal cleanup - removed "owner" and "ownertype" settings from
bAnimListElem. The purpose of these was muddled, and more of a hassle
to maintain than doing anything useful - it was only really used for
the stuff above.
* Removed need for "sa->spacedata.first" casts all over the show for
animation editor tools which needed access to editor data. This can
now be retrieved directly.
was not recursively restoring sound strips on paste.
also found many duplicate functions were defining the transform mode as in int but getting as an enum, use enum for both now.
Ported joeedh's Euler Filter code from Python to C so that this is
more in line with the other Graph Editor tools - i.e. joeedh's version
only worked on the active bone's curves, while standard tools could
work with multiple bones/objects at the same time.
To use this new version of this operator:
1) Select all the F-Curves for all 3 of the components (XYZ) for the
euler rotations you wish to clean up. In the Graph Editor, they must
be one after the other (i.e. you can't have "RotX, RotY, something
else, RotZ")
2) Activate the operator from the Key menu in the Graph Editor
In an old test file I have floating around, this method did not appear
to be good enough to fix a very clear discontinuity in the middle of
the action, so I'll test some additional methods too
Not really a "bug", but it was on my todo anyways. Based on patch
[#26508] by Campbell, with a few modifications including extending
this to the Action/DopeSheet editor too.
Shift+D in graph editor was an operator calling internally an operator.
Better is to make it a Macro, then Undos and Esc work nicely.
Note for API users: the operator "graph.duplicate" will now just
copy the selection and not run transform. Nicer too :)
in dope sheet/ graph editor leads to duplicated keys
The old hack using the transform "undostring" didn't work anymore, as
this wasn't set. Instead, I've added a special mode transform mode for
this that the duplicate operators can set to get this functionality.
* When euler-rotation F-Curves had a single keyframe only, the view
would be artifically extended to fill up to 57 (this comes from the
radians to degrees calculations) due to a combination of the bounds-
finding function enforcing a minimum separation of 1 unit between
min/max. This has now been moved to the operator-level where it gets
applied AFTER these conversions have taken effect
* F-Curves with samples only (i.e. baked F-Curves) would be ignored by
these operators. Was caused by using a poll calback that only
considered whether there were keyframes. Hopefully this is sufficient;
otherwise a hybrid poll method will be needed.
also minor functional changes
- OBJECT_OT_make_links_data() type property is now assigned to the operator property (so popup menu can find it)
- removing BG image now returns cancelled if no image is removed.
- Offset, so you can paste at the same time of the original frames, at the current frame or relative to the current frame at time of copying.
- Merge method, so the pasted keys can overwrite keys in their range or the entire curve.
Currently there is no redo panel for these space types so the only way to access these options is with F6 redo popup.
Previous commit fixing rest of handle type keymaps renamed this
operator, but that brings it out of line with rest of animation editor
operators, so reverting that fix.
Also, made Action Editor/DopeSheet use same hotkey as Graph Editor for
setting handle types now (which is same as one used in 3D-View).
Graph editor: submenu for handle type had drawing error.
Seems to be the collumns-separator feature for enum properties?
No time for debugging that, a 5-item menu doesn't need 2 collumns.
Graph editor: hotkeys for handles restored; they work immediate
and non modal now (menu was ugly and slow). Uses similar options
as 3d curve editing, but not toggling 'aligned'
HKEY: sets aligned
SHIFT+H: sets auto
ALT+H: sets free handle
VKEY: vector handle
- Pasting from 1 fcurve to any other fcurve now works (skip index and rna path checking).
- Pasting multiple fcurves between bones now works.
- If path checking fails, pasting matches indices so Scale XYZ can be pasted into Location XYZ for eg.
* Keyframing operators now use the reports system for displaying all its error messages.
- The benefit of this is that users no longer need to check the console for error messages if keyframing fails.
- Unfortunately, reports are not currently viewable in any space/view in Blender, so...
* Added a temporary operator (UI_OT_reports_to_textblock), which can be accessed in the UI from the button which appears in place of the icon when more than one report exists. This dumps the current list of reports to a textblock "Recent Reports", from which they can be viewed.
This isn't really nice, but at least we now have a way to view these again, which makes debugging some things a pain.
* Bugfix #24606 - when trying to add keyframes to F-Curves with F-Modifiers already which alter the curve significantly enough that the keyframes will have no effect, there are now warnings which aim to alleviate any confusion.
