This removes auto-registration, committed by Martin r30961.
Realize this is a contentious topic but Brecht and myself both would rather opt-in registration.
TODO:
- addons need updating.
- class list will be modified to use weakrefs (should have been done for existing system too).
- will move bpy.types.(un)register functions into bpy.utils.(un)register_class, currently including these functions in a type list is internally ugly, scripts which loop over types also need to check for these.
When using masks or other simple 3D elements in composites, doing
a layer re-rendering on a node is a bit clumsy all the time.
This commit does two things to help:
- new hotkey "Z" in node editor automatically finds render layer
that changed and re-renders it + composites
- option "Auto Render" does same, but then after every transform
edit in 3D window
The latter is experimental; real & proper system for this requires
full threaded render support (like previews). But it works!
Demo file:

Important fix:
After any render, all the render layers were tagged "changed", which
caused any edit to first totally recomposte everthing. Now it only
composites changes.
Implementation notes
- DAG scene flush now sets 'changed' flags in render layer nodes
- Added notifier for 'transform finished' to trigger the update,
this is temporarily.
* Added Backdrop Panel inside the "Properties" area.
* Hard limit for the "zoom" value. Negative values doesn't make sense.
* Added a missing notifier for the Node backdrop move operator.
- added backdrop commands in the view menu
I couldnt finf them in the menus and also liquidape asked for them
- added cut links command in menu, since also this one wasnt thast obvious (now it's ctrl-drag)
- micro patch reviewed by jesterKing
"Select all of the same type" now is binding to Shift + GKEY
Two new function, select next and prev node of the same type.
Select a node and press Shift + [ or Shift + ] go to the
previous and next node of the same type (of the active node).
This is a small request from Venomgfx, select a node
and then press Shift + F to select all the nodes of the
same type (of the active node).
The key binding can be change, we thing in a "Find Next" (that is
way the FKEY) with venomgfx, but no problem with change that.
Also I add the entry in the select menu.
Also removed some python code to check for node materials within the material and texture properties. It seems to go fine without it, and this should be handled by context instead.
Running scripts directly didnt call the register function, even though this is not essential its good to be able to run a script directly and see changes in the UI.
Testing a new method that hopefully will be faster to use than finicky socket
selection - now just select multiple nodes and press F - available output sockets
on the selected nodes will get automatically connected to the active node.
It works for one socket type each time, to avoid getting lots of extra connections
when you join up, but as a shortcut you can easily press F again to connect up
other socket types. For example, to connect a render layer node (with vector pass)
to a vector blur node, select the render layer then the vector blur, and press F
three times to connect up the Image, Z and Vector sockets. It now also
preferences sockets with the same name to connect up first.
There's also another option (ctrl F) which will replace existing input links, rather
than only connecting up links to available input sockets.
* Also changed socket link knife cut to a more convenient shortcut - Ctrl LMB tweak
- removing duplicate chunks of code -> hide unused sockets now works
- moving some functions to the files that they get called from -> view all/home
- made duplicate a macro operator like the other places that work like this, eliminating the unnecessary transform-related property there still
- removed a few chunks of unused code
* Restored Mute and Hide Operators, M and H keys respectively
* Restored Make Links Operator (F). However, I can't figure out how to set the sockets so that this can be used
* Made Alt-RMB the new hotkey for breaking links by dragging, since Alt-LMB was taken for panning already
* Fixed a nasty bug which meant that it was impossible to set an active node. Was caused by ntreeCopyTree() getting called when compo updates were done and clearing the active flags. The active flag clearing is only really needed for the "internal_select" case which is only used for duplicating selected nodes (from Shift-D duplicate).
* Recoded click-selection code. Was a mess of old code, bad exceptions from the old code half ported, duplicate operators, unnecessary flags/modes.
* Fixed bug #19927: compositing node groups can't be access via "tab" or ungrouped via "alt+g". Was probably related to the active group not being able to be set.
* Made resizing nodes work again. Again, this was due to the active node bug.
* Made adding a new group with Ctrl-G correctly update the views
Contributors list isnt used much in our C code so probably its easier if people just use svn blame for this.
Can change if this isnt acceptable but I guessed people didnt care so much since most scripts had no header.
