* Fix problem with curve mapping / color ramps not updating
things like previews propertly. Now it uses the RNA update
of the pointer from the material/texture/.. so each of those
can define their own update, but still share the RNA struct.
* Code for these templates is now in interface_templates.c
* Fix exception for "axis" property, now it always shows normal
widget with the PROP_DIRECTION subtype.
* Remove context from uiBlockLayoutResolve, no longer needed.
- 'center', while Ctrl is held select objects from their center location
- 'enumerate', while Alt is held, give a list of objects under the mouse
- Object selection menu now uses icons with names
- operator object.select_name(name, extend=False)
- keybindings so combinations of Ctrl/Alt/Shift can be used (like in 2.4x)
- logic text input field was using deprecated ID_SCRIPT rather then ID_TXT
details
- added comments to DNA_ID.h ID types
- removed unused ID types Sector and Life
- added uiIconFromID() to get an icon from the object.
- using name for selection is weak but currently there isnt a really good way to do this.
#19302: the spin operator did not redo correct when changing properties.
Actually the problem was somewhere else, the search menu always did an
unnecessary undo push, which conflicted with an operator undo push with
the same name. Only in the case of "Spin" was this noticed, because it's
name is so short and you actually type it completely.
#19328: swapping areas could crash when dragging mouse outside the window.
Attempted fix for #19331, #19335 as well, where backspace and some other
keys give square characters instead of working as expected. Couldn't
reproducable here, so please test.
#19345: can't get out of grayed out pointer field.
#19342: item_pointerR fields can't be cleared with one item.
#19341: fix hanging tooltips when manipulating regions.
#19339: context panel still allowed tabbing, but it has no header.
#19334: editing SSS settings crashed previewrender.
#19330: object mode could not be switched on from the header menu.
* Move function to compute visible screen layers to BKE.
* Use this now in the depsgraph, was still using this all layers
to flush. Still missing a way to get the current scene in
background mode..
* Also two more function to not require a scene pointer anymore:
* DAG_object_update_flags is now DAG_id_update_flags.
* DAG_ids_flush_update is now available next to DAG_scene_flush_update.
- They were causing unnecessary visual noise, breaking up the lines of the region edges
- Now you can just drag anywhere on a region edge to resize it, like existing area edges
- To minimise a region, click once on the region edge, or resize it down to nothing. For minimised regions, a (+) icon will appear, which you can click to restore it to the size it was before it was minimised.
* layout.itemR now has icon_only option to show only icon
in e.g. enums buttons, for uv editor header.
* Automatic key shortcuts in menus now show the shortcut even if
operator properties don't match. Not sure this will work well
everywhere, but seems to be working ok for now.
* Open recent now show shorter filenames instead of the whole
file path.
* Tweak object Duplicate menu item.
* Split object_edit.c into multiple files:
object_add.c, object_edit.c, object_hook.c, object_relations.c,
object_select.c, object_transform.c.
* Rename files to have consistent object_ and mball_ prefix:
object_shapekey.c, object_lattice.c, object_vgroup.c, mball_edit.c.
* Added operators:
* vertex group menu and set active
* apply location, rotation, scale, visual transform (location is new)
* make local
* make vertex parent
* move to layer
* convert to curve/mesh (not finished yet)
* Many small fixes for marked issues, but still much code to be cleaned
up here...
- rename "Nurb" to "Spline" in RNA, eg. bpy.data.curves[0].splines[2].type == 'NURBS'
from a user perspective spline is a more generic term while Nurb is misleading when used for beziers and poly lines.
- added curve.active_spline property so the python UI can display the last selected curve.
- set the active spline when entering editmode (uses first selected spline)
- added back Hide Handles as a curve property (removed the global flag), access from the view panel in editmode.
- added hide normal option for curve, normal size access for curve and mesh display.
- changing orderU/V, endpoints, cyclic, bezierU/V now work in editmode and calls update functions.
- entering editmode was crashing with text objects
- curve.switch_direction() crashed (own fault from last commit)
- Tkey for tilt was overridden by Toolbar, made Tilt Ctrl+T.
- OBJECT_OT_mode_set check for compatible modes before running - so curves dont try go into paint mode with V key for eg.
Make local and make single user are back for ID template.
Internally these calls got unified, id_make_local and
id_copy are now used to do these operations for all types
that support it. Also reveals that for some ID types the
implementation is still missing.
Further, some small changes:
* unlink_text is now in blenkernel.
* copy_group was implemented.
* ID template now has an open operator again.
* fix preview to not change material reference count,
even if temporary it shows up with threaded preview.
* id_unlink unifies unlink for text, object and group.
* DopeSheet + Graph Editor - 'Sample Keyframes' option now tags newly created keyframes as being breakdowns. Also moved reduced the code duplication here by moving the core code for this to the animation module.
* Keyframing (Standard/Auto) - Added proper 'replace' option
Keyframes can now be rekeyed non-destructively when the INSERTKEY_REPLACE flag is provided to the keyframing API functions, since this option will make sure that only the values of the handles get altered.
For the Auto-Keyframing 'Replace/Edit Keys' option, this means that it truly works as it describes now, since it will now only replace the values of the keyframes on the current frame, and won't create new keyframes in the process or destroy the tangents already created for those keys.
For things like the sliders in animation editors, keyframes changing the value won't destroy existing tangents.
It is now possible to tag certain keyframes as being 'breakdowns' in the DopeSheet. Breakdown keyframes are drawn as slightly smaller blue diamonds.
Simply select the relevant keyframes and use the RKEY hotkey (or from the menus, Key->Keyframe Type) to choose between tagging the keyframe as a 'proper' keyframe and a 'breakdown' keyframe.
Notes:
* Please note that this feature does not currently imply anything about breakdowns moving around keyframes or behaving any differently from any other type of keyframe
* In future, if there is any such need, more keyframe types could be added, though this is not really likely at all
* Grease Pencil works again from Image Editor now. For now, the GPencil datablock is linked to the Image Editor space, but this can be changed if need be.
* Made Grease Pencil hotkeys into a separate Grease Pencil keymap, which can get included automagically like for frames/ui/v2d/etc. by supplying ED_KEYMAP_GPENCIL as part of st->keymapflag
* Temporarily restored the nasty hack to make View2D-aligned sketches in Image Editor to use OpenGL lines only. I still dunno why this doesn't work normally.
(Probably related is that strokes are not visible when there's no image visible atm).
- Baked point caches for particles, cloth and softbody can now be edited in particle mode.
* This overwrites the old cloth/sb cache editmode editing.
* The type of editable system is chosen from a menu.
* For particles the current particle system and it's current cache are used.
- Currently this only works for caches that are in memory, but some automatic conversion from disk to memory and back can be implemented later.
- All tools from hair editing can't be applied to point caches and are hidden in the tool panel and specials menu. Some functionality like subdividing paths can be later implemented in a slightly different way from how it works for hair.
- Code is not yet optimized for speed, so editing might be slow sometimes.
Known issues:
- Cloth doesn't update properly while in particle mode, due to the way cloth modifier currently works. Daniel can you check on this?
- As "particle mode" is not only for particles any more some other name would be in place?
- Better icons are needed for the path, point, and tip-modes as the current icons from mesh edit mode are quite misleading.
- Direct editing of point velocities is not yet implemented, but will be in the future.
Other changes:
- Hair editing doesn't require a "make editable" button press any more.
- Multiple caches in single particle system disables changing emission properties.
- Unified ui code for all point cache panels.
* Defined in buttons_particle.py and imported for cloth, smoke & softbody.
- Proper disabling of properties in ui after baking point caches. (Daniel could you please make needed disable code for smoke panels as their functionality is not familiar to me.)
- Hair weight brush has been removed. Once hair dynamics is re-implemented I'll code a more useable alternative to the functionality.
Bug fixes:
- Unlinking particle settings crashed.
- Deleting the active object with particles in the scene crashed.
- Softbody didn't write point caches correctly on save.
Restored the UI for access to the GP layers.
There are still a few minor bugs here:
* Wrong icons on the toggles - even when they're enabled, they only show a single state
* The ID-template doesn't seem to be showing up. Dunno what's going wrong there...
* Shuffled some code around, and renamed some functions used for getting context info
- Split UI-buttons into a separate file from stroke-drawing code
- Removed some obsolete code (i.e. old paint code that used to be in _edit, but which has been moved to _paint).
* Made drawing in 3D-View default to using the active object as the owner of the Grease Pencil data. For now, the drawing code will therefore only show the GP data for the active object only. More work to come on this.
* Fixed freeing code for Objects/Scenes with GP data.
This commit is the start of the new Grease Pencil implementation. I've just ported the old code to make it work with operators, and to store its data in Grease-Pencil datablocks.
However, this is currently still really buggy, with only the barebones of the drawing/creation tools restored (no UI panels, no options). To use (not recommended), use D+S+move_mouse (and click when finished) for now. There are some rather serious event handling errors going on here...
Wrapped the Keying Sets API with RNA Functions so that they can now be called from Py-Scripts. This will ultimately be useful for riggers to create Keying Sets which can get loaded up/created for animators to use after importing their rig.
I've created a demo for this, which can be found at:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/552
Notes:
- Kazanbas, I've had to create a rna_scene_api.c here to hold some of the relevant functions. Hopefully this won't cause you too much pain when you do your next merge from 2.5 to your branch ;)
- I've noticed that there seem to be a few cases mentioned in the demo which don't totally work yet. I'll commit some fixes for those later.
Patch by Lorenzo Pierfederici (lento). Many thanks!
* Ported some more menus to python (Pose, Particle...)
* Some cleanup and reorganization in the python file to reduce code. :)
* Cleanup of old C buttons code.
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.
* Some initial work on a new paint abstraction, PaintStroke. For now, most of the code just pulls out stroke-related stuff from sculpt mode, next step is to integrate the other paint modes to use this. It'll enable stuff like smooth stroke for all the paint modes with less code duplication.
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.
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.
Now the mute/protect/expand/etc. toggles are drawn using UI widgets. This means that special event handling code to determine when they were clicked on is no longer needed, and also means that there can now be tooltips for these items too.
Also, added visibility toggles for ID-block expanders, which will cause all the F-Curves in the linked datablock to not get drawn. The backend filtering code to make this work will come later...
Patch [#19031] (2.5) python menus for the view3d header
by Lorenzo Pierfederici (lento). Thanks!
* Added CTX_data_mode_string() to find out in which mode we're in.
* Added some "select" menus as a test.
This patch makes it basically possible to wrap the 3D View menus to python.
* Made sculpt mode local to object.
* This also fixes loading files from 2.4x saved in sculptmode
Touched a lot of things here, let me know if anything breaks
TODO:
* The other paint modes should be converted as well
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.
* Fixed one of the items from Brecht's TODO mail. Exiting edit mode now restores any paint mode you might have been in, rather than going to object mode.
