Will help entering sculpt mode on file load by making it possible
to fully initialize sculpt session. The goal is to make sure PBVH
exists since the very beginning of file open (missing PBVH is a
reason why object is not visible before first stroke).
This is not enough yet to fully solve the issue, since entering
sculpt mode tags object for Copy-on-Write update, which frees
PBVH.
It was a bit odd that the scene was stored per window but not the view
layer. The reasoning was that you would use different view layers for
different tasks. This is still possible, but it's more predictable to
switch them both explicitly, and with child window support manually
syncing the view layers between multiple windows is no longer needed
as often.
* Main windows show a topbar and statusbar, and select a workspace and
scene. They are created with Window > New Main Window.
* Child windows do not show a topbar or statusbar. These follow the
workspace and scene of their parent main window. Created with Window >
New Window or View > Duplicate Area into New Window.
* The purpose of this change is to support multi monitor setups where you
just want to put more editors on the other monitors. Without multiple
topbars and statusbars, working within a single workspace and scene.
Creating multiple main windows is intended to be a concious choice to
do different tasks in different workspaces and scenes.
* Note these changes do not currently affect how the operating system
treats the windows.
* When changing the workspace, the layout in all child windows changes.
This makes sense if we consider child windows to be just a way to
extend the main window across more monitors. In some case it may be
useful to keep the same layout though, we can add an option for this
depending on user feedback.
This allows key bindings: link/append and user-preferences
to be accessed via keys - without having to assign keys to each action.
- F1: Context sensitive help.
- F2: File Context Menu.
- F3: Search.
- F4: Window Context Menu.
Other keys F5..10, remain free,
ideally they can be kept for user actions.
For example collapsing the lower part of the topbar with 2x interface scale
would hide the top-bar header region. There were also more asserts when changing
window size and moving area edges afterwards (same assert as in T55298).
Fixes are similar to e626998a26.
With all the recent fixes I've done, area geometry handling should be stable
again. Let's hope I'm right :)
Access to main database is actually rarely needed, but some custom
'apply' functions do need it (like Collections' overriding of objects or
children collections).
Key shortcuts and explanation about how to use the tool should go to the
status bar, but other info can in the header so it's near where the user
is working. This distinction has not been made yet for all operators.
This error is only in Windows and Mac when select in properties the material tab.
This commit revert dc856be839 Preview: Add own opengl context to render preview images.
This shouldn't really be part of the windowmanager code. Pulling it out
now, so that we can reuse in RNA when switching display modes,
(and perhaps other places later)
