Previously, the "Add to Group" button would show an empty search popup when there were no existing groups. While this does mean that the button behaves differently at different times, this way is more streamlined and should be less confusing than seeing an empty search popup or a greyed out "add to group" button or a "+" button which jumps around in different situations.
The problem here was that the extra forward compatibility data for node groups (links to the node interface sockets) was written for files as well as undo memfiles. But only in the case of true .blend files is this data subsequently removed again after loading, which in the case of undo leaves invalid links hanging around in the node tree. Forward compat data is now skipped for undo.
Issue is that the real default context is NULL, however, in python and RNA, this value can't be used easily. So we use a specific string instead ("*"), defined as BLF_I18NCONTEXT_DEFAULT_BPYRNA.
From now on, all bpy/rna code should only use the BLF_I18NCONTEXT_DEFAULT_BPYRNA value, while all "usual" C code should use the BLF_I18NCONTEXT_DEFAULT value (BLF_pgettext is still able to "understand" both, anyway).
Also added BLF_is_default_context helper func, so that we can keep that check in a single place!
Finally, we should no need anymore to understand the void string "" as default context too - two values for a same thing are more than enough!
When the uniqueness requirement was introduced in r24478 (2.50.8) for unambiguous RNA paths for animation a do_versions check was also added, but this was incorrectly only applied to main->nodetree (i.e. node groups) and not local trees in scene, material, etc.
Issue is sharing using global random generator which is shared with
particle system which resets the seed due to some scene/option
combination. Since it may be desirable to get predictable results with
particles, made sure brushes allocate their own random number generator
on startup and use that for jittering.
When nodes are loaded from a .blend file they can potentially have undefined types. This can happen if a type has been deprecated and removed, or if node types were defined in a python script that has not been loaded correctly. Previously all such nodes would automatically be removed from a node tree, assuming that their types were deprecated and no longer in use (more commonly caused by loading new nodes in an older Blender version). Due to the possibility of dynamic registration it is no longer feasible to simply delete such nodes.
Display and handling of node trees was simply disabled before this patch, so that a node tree where any node or socket type was undefined would not be displayed at all. To give more information and avoid problems caused by necessary checks for the typeinfo pointer, there is now a 'Undefined' fallback type for trees, nodes and sockets. These types are used as placeholders in case the real type is not registered and can provide useful visual feedback on undefined nodes.
Was caused by recent changes to automatically switch between
glaDrawPixelsTex and glaDrawPixelsSafe depending on resolution.
glaDrawPixelsSafe could not be sued for viewport because it'll
miss alpha transparency.
* If the node tree can be updated from context (tree has get_from_context callback defined), reset the pointers first to clear the editor path if no tree can be found.
* Stupid mistake: snode->from != snode->from is always false.
* Shader nodes context update: set the 'from' pointer to the active object, even if it doesn't have a material or node tree.
Pretty much straightforward change, made in the same way as
texture input node.
Shall not be any regressions or crashes when mixing usage
of 2.66 and current trunk.
It works in a newest gcc (e.g. 4.6.3) but fails here:
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build
5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)
The old 2.5 code was just drawing a blended rect over buttons, which looks bad
in cases the backdrop is undefined.
Now widget drawing code just draws everything half transparent. Much nicer!
Time for textured backdrops? ;)
* Add, Move and Remove Socket operators missed a notifier for UI redraw.
Note: ND_DISPLAY seems to be for the Text editor only, according to WM_types.h, but seems to be used in quite a few places.
Time to cleanup notifiers again.
