Bugfix: new ALT+LMB pan in 2d windows hanged eternally; the modal keymaps
didnt support this yet. Is on todo; but fix is easy for now.
Also don't know if this is the right way to do it... systems with MMB can
also get it as macro (like action mouse, select mouse).
Also, made the Outliner's horizontal scrollbar work better for keymaps view. It's still using an approximation of the width, but at least you can scroll now.
Example code: http://www.pasteall.org/7332/c.
New API functions: http://www.pasteall.org/7330/c.
Maximum number of dimensions is currently limited to 3, but can be increased arbitrarily if needed.
What this means for ID property access:
* MeshFace.verts - dynamic array, size 3 or 4 depending on MFace.v4
* MeshTextureFace.uv - dynamic, 2-dimensional array, size depends on MFace.v4
* Object.matrix - 2-dimensional array
What this means for functions:
* more intuitive API possibility, for example:
Mesh.add_vertices([(x, y, z), (x, y, z), ...])
Mesh.add_faces([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), ...])
Python part is not complete yet, e.g. it is possible to:
MeshFace.verts = (1, 2, 3) # even if Mesh.verts is (1, 2, 3, 4) and vice-versa
MeshTextureFace.uv = [(0.0, 0.0)] * 4 # only if a corresponding MFace is a quad
but the following won't work:
MeshTextureFace.uv[3] = (0.0, 0.0) # setting uv[3] modifies MTFace.uv[1][0] instead of MTFace.uv[3]
New Actions can now be added again from the Action Editor.
There are no guarantees that this works totally safely yet (reference counting may be quite off), so you've been warned.
The 'Show Sliders' option for DopeSheet and Graph Editors now works again. When this option is enabled (it is disabled by default), a slider (or combobox) is shown beside the mute/lock toggles for F-Curves. Editing the slider will result in a new keyframe being added on the current frame.
So, for all the (ex)-Maya animators out there, you can now animate in a channelbox-like way. :)
Also in this commit:
* Fixed some warnings in modifier.c from previous commits there
* Fixed some refresh problems with DopeSheet channel list (which were only obvious after adding back the sliders)
* Removed the old/unrestored and nasty slider code used in the past by the Action Editor only.
Made toggle buttons less wide, with less extra space around them
Made number widgets wider to allow larger numbers, such as the current frame field in the timeline.
Changed the rounding of action buttons. The round style looked pleasing when they were isolated, viewed by themselves, but looked terrible when grouped, or at small sizes with icons as it was often used. The old Filebrowse or Render This Window buttons were examples of how badly they looked with an icon, and the rounding in the tools area made for some weird visual shapes. When combined in groups of widgets, such as the datablock selectors it looked even weirder, because one side of the group would be square and the other would be round, causing some spatial clashes.

Also tweaked the tools sub-area color which stood out as being much brighter than the rest of the UI. When the tools area was open in the default layout, the overall impression was asymmetrical, non-harmonic.
when passing properties=True as argument.
Other changes:
* uiItemR, uiItemFullR, uiItemFullO now accept a flag argument rather
than multiple different "boolean" arguments, but still exposed as
booleans to python.
* Fix RNA to support setting PROP_RNAPTR for return values.
* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
Implementation:
* NC_SCENE or NC_OBJECT cause scene->stats to be cleared.
* NC_INFO is sent to tag info headers for redraw.
* In UI scene.statistics() creates scene->stats if it is
NULLd, and then returns the string.
* Fix header menu spacing bug, and make it consistent for all headers.
* For consistency, always put menus first in the header, then any enums
to switch the type of data displayed.
* Node editor header ported to python layout. Still quite a few
operators missing to make the menus complete.
* RNA wrapped node editor, and added use_nodes property to material
and scene.
* Move sound_init to make sure it gets called everytime user
preferences is reloaded.
* Merged sound_reinit and sound_init. One used user preferences
while the other did not, don't see the point of this, so just
made it always use user preferences now.
* Timeline header audio sync option now controls scene flag
rather than timeline flag. Since it uses the same playback
operator now, there is no distinction anymore.
* Added boolean property sync to animation play operator, to sync
with audio or not. Uses scene setting if property is not set.
* Playback stop button in info header now calls operator, so sounds
stop playing too.
to show properties.
* One problem is that we currently have 3 different kinds of
property layouts, single column, two column, and single column
with text inside button, probably best to reduce this..
* Last operator panel now shows operator name in the header.
* Fix extrude operator to not include transform properties
anymore, since they are already there now due to macro system.
* Added a new Paint type in scene DNA. This is now the base struct for Sculpt.
* The Paint type contains a list of Brushes, you can add or remove these much like material and texture slots.
* Modified the UI for the new Paint type, now shows the list of brushes active for this mode
* Added a New Brush operator, shows in the UI as a list of brush tool types to add
* Made the sculpt tool property UI smaller and not expanded, expectation is that we will have a number of preset brushes that will cover the basic sculpt brush types
TODO:
* Vertex paint, weight paint, texture paint need to be converted to this system next
* Add brush presets to the default blend
* Added Context access to RNA_property_as_string. This is needed for doing a Python call to the object mode set operator, which has a dynamic enum property that needs context.
Flaw in python UI for headers: code missing to correctly set the total
width of header, plus obsolete call in view3d header template to set width.
Now MMB scroll of view3d header works again.
- use RNA_struct_blender_type_set to set the type to NULL before its freed
There is a memory error here when reloading scripts - ui_handler_panel_region, need to look into theis further.
* Pose mode was already object-localized, but moved the flag from object->flag to object->mode, with all the other modes.
* Updated object mode RNA
* Commented out some dubious use of base->flag with the posemode flag. So far as I could see the value was only being set, not read, so a hopefully safe change.
Implementation Note:
* Moved the scene copy/unlink code back into blenkernel, with
the exception of the copy single user stuff which is still in
object_edit.c.
* Uses SCREENDELETE notifier like SCREENBROWSE, seems only clean
way to do this now.
- use the scene context for the unit settings since there isn't a better place for it currently.
- added 'chain' to imperial units
- set more rna props to be distances and angles.
long/short units...
day,d, hour,hr,h, minute,min,m, second,sec,s, millisecond,ms, microsecond,us
Also may fix some bugs that were reported.
Note, to convert fps to time evil_C needs to be used to get the scene.
- currently only distances work.
- user preferences, edit section to set the units and scale.
- option to display pairs (nicer for imperial display?)
- support for evaluating multiple comma separated values eg: 2',11" ..or.. 5ft, 4mil
- comma separated expressions/values accumulate 1+1,2**3,4cm/3
- attempted fast conversion from a value to a string so button drawing isn't too slow.
* imperial long/short *
- mile, mi
- yard, yd
- foot, '
- inch, "
- thou, mil
* metric long/short *
kilometer, km
meter, m
centimeter, cm
millimeter, mm
micrometer, um
nanometer, nm
picometer, pm
* Reviewed subtypes, making them more specific and adding new ones.
* Subtypes now have an associated type of units (length, area, volume,
mass, rotation, time, velocity, acceleration). These are not used
yet anywhere.
* Centralized code that decides the name of array items based on
subtype (XYZ, RGB), was copied in 3 places.
* RNA_def_float etc functions still need to be update, will do this
later together with another change.
* Disable shaded mode for now, it cause too many crashes combined
with preview render, will be fixed properly later.
* Make 3d view toolbar region a bit wider. Ideally this would not
be needed, but the sculpt/paint buttons just don't fit otherwise.
* Revert change to icon/text spacing in buttons, it breaks text
editing and clipping. Will properly fix this later so changing
the spacing can be done centrally.
* Fix for grease pencil simplify stroke python error. Now button
is hidden (as in 2.4), but still available through outliner.
* Fix for memory leak in UI code, when using ctrl+Q menu.
* Fix submenu > icon being drawn on some buttons where it was not
needed.
Note...
- Python3.1 you don't need to add the .0 for divisions anymore (was esp annoying for button eval)
- Simple dimension input, imperial mi/yd/ft/in, metric km/m/cm/mm, Later could display these values and have a pref for scene scale, atm it assumes 1BU == 1m.
As Joe point on a previous mail, glBitmap don't work nice
on all cards and also some of the things that we can do
with texture are hard (or need that blender check the font mode)
to implement.
-Deleted old Buttons C code for RIGIDBODYJOINT constraint.
-"Realtime" Icon for Modifer was different in Template and RNA, i changed the Icon in RNA to match the template version, which is an eye instead of a cube.
-Removed shadows from most UI items. The shadow settings are unfortunately not really useful, because you can't set them for individual items. There was a lot of black text with black shadows, which really only makes the text look fuzzy. For shadows to improve clarity, they should be the opposite color of the text label, not the same color.
-Tweaked material layout, with clearer grouping in Ray Mirror and Ray Transparency panels.
-Added icons in the texture type menu to signify which textures are procedural and which ones are images, and plugins.
* When doing realtime recording of animation (i.e. transforming objects + bones while animation playback is running, and auto-keying is enabled), animation will be added to a new NLA Track+Strip combo everytime a single 'loop' of the frame range has finished. This will allow 'passes' over the animation to be less destructive.
* Made the evaluation of the active action (when NLA data is present), be handled as part of the normal NLA system evaluation code (as if it were just another strip in a track at the end). The immediate benefit is that there are now some settings (available in the "Animation Data" panel in the NLA Editor with a strip selected) which allow for the way the active action is combined with the NLA stack results. For instance, the way that the action extrapolates is used in the recording tweaks above.
The second tweak made (for the case without an icon) was causing superfluous spacing all over the UI for things like checkboxes + combo-boxes + text widgets. This was quite ugly and gave readability issues with the checkboxes in particular.
you can copy operator strings from buttons or the reporting interface and run them in the console.
- Ctrl+C over an operator button copies its python string to the clipboard.
- Paste in the console (1 line only for now).
- operators run from python no longer require all arguments.
