This commit clarifies the somewhat "murky" separation between "builtin" and "absolute" KeyingSets as a result of discussions with Cessen.
* "Builtin" Keying Sets are now just the Keying Sets which in the past have been known as PyKeyingSets or Relative KeyingSets. These are registered from Py Scripts at startup, and will use the context info to determine what data they should be keyframing. These are stored per Blender session, independent of files, since usually these will be coded specific to sets of rigs used at a studio.
* "Absolute" Keying Sets are the ones that you can create from the Scene buttons and/or KKEY or RMB over any property. They specify the exact set of properties which should always get keyframed together. These are stored in the scene.
In relation to this, I've made it possible to now set one of the builtin Keying Set types as the active Keying Set.
* For now, this can only be done via the box beside the insert/delete key operator buttons on the TimeLine header (now complete with an recycled icon - HINT TO ICON DESIGNERS, to make this a bit more obvious). Later on I'll commit an operator to set this via a hotkey.
* The "IKEY" menu will only show up when there is no active Keying Set. When there is one, keying will happen silently (with info notice at the top of the screen). Later on, I'll hook this menu up to a hotkey, so that that active Keying Set can be changed without inserting keyframes or clearing active Keying Set...
* By default, there isn't any default Keying Set enabled. IMO, this is probably a good default, though some might like to have LocRotScale instead.
* I'm not terribly impressed with the search menu for the items being SORTED (and of all things, alphabetically!) currently, since this does break muscle-memory with the menu (and jumbles up order of closely related vs not closely related).
* The Scene buttons for KeyingSets still need some changes to fully cope with users setting builtin KeyingSets as active sometimes. Controls which are useless or shouldn't be used when a builtin set is shown are being shown.
Builtin set registrations have been tweaked a bit:
* Renamed "bl_idname" to "bl_label" for consistency with rest of API. Note that this is the identifier used by Blender internally when searching for the KeyingSet, and is also what the user sees.
flip the closing edge so when applied a second time it doesnt flip the closing ring of faces. (means you can make a torus from 1 vertex and 2 modifiers)
didnt commit this patch because curves are generally better to create a shape to lathe however now that curves can have modifiers applied to them I think its good to have this.
Added options to offset the lathe so it can work like the screw tool as well.
- optional object for axis which also controls the center point.
- screw offset so rather then just lathing this can work more like the screw tool.
- screw optionally using the object distance along the axis.
- iterations so the screw can be applied multiple times.
tested to work well with curves.
- moved global hide_dot to filelist.
- hiding dot files is now included in the filtering of files, which means that for this directory also doesn't have to be read anymore.
- reverted changes of rev. 27491 and related changes in rev. 27523 in favor of a more general abstraction for the different 'file browser modes' with respect to filtering.
Now if you have a VideoTexture.Texture you can use its id and draw it with bgl
The Id is only going to be valid if the obj you are getting the VideoTexture.Texture from has a valid texture. In the examples you will see them as planes, that become invisible at load time, but are needed to validate the texture id.
This is a simple example file:

And a (much) more advanced one:

Benoit, I couldn't decide on better names so for now I'm glad with this one.
This commit started out aiming to make the "Stepped" F-Modifier (committed last night) even more useful, but ended up fixing a few other finer-points of how F-Modifiers work.
Firstly, the new stuff:
I've addded options to the Stepped F-Modifier to not affect frames before and/or after specified values, and renamed the 'start offset' to 'offset' for clarity.
The main objective of this is to allow Stepped F-Modifiers to only affect certain time ranges, so that by layering/using multiple instances of the F-Modifier, it can be possible to have multiple stepping-sizes.
This allows for effects like:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/2230
or in words, it provides a convenient mechanism for animators to specify whether sections of the animation is shown "on twos", "fours", or even "forty-second-ths plus a smidgen", as can be easily done with 2D.
Assorted changes to support this:
* Properly fixed up how F-Modifiers that work with time, evaluate the time to evaluate the curve at. Now layered time effects like this should be possible in a much nicer way.
* Added proper value range validation/clamping to many properties. There are still a lot more that need checking, but at least more properties now do "the right thing".
* Copy/Paste operators for F-Modifiers
Available in Graph and NLA Editors. Use the Copy/Paste buttons beside the 'Add Modifier' buttons.
Copy copies all the modifiers of the ACTIVE F-Curve or Strip depending on the editor.
Paste pastes modifiers from the buffer to all the selected F-Curves or Strips, adding the new modifiers to the ends of each list.
* 'Stepped Interpolation' F-Modifier
This modifier holds each interpolated value from the F-Curve for several frames without changing the timing.
This allows to preview motions 'on-twos' for example without altering the timing, or having to go through setting heaps of keyframes. In this case, Andy wanted to use this for CG <-> StopMo.
- The RNA wrapping for the generate callback was still wrong, with the primary effect being that C-code calling this had unexpected consequences that were hard to debug.
- Fixed some defective checks that meant that when specifying the RNA-pointers for the Keying Set to use (rather than using the Keying Set's own iterator callback) would never add any info.
works, it's mostly non-functional there (i.e. when you've just started the application).
It would be nice if blender could name the temp files in a special way so that it could actually
search through the temp folder and find the most recently saved temp file, but for now, I'll
just remove the option.
