Added convenience function to operators, 'as_keywords()', so operator settings can be passed directly to a function as keyword arguments.
The problem in this case was that dictionary access to operator properties was not returning rna-property defaults, so as_keywords() ensures all defaults are set.
This added a poll function to the Panel base class but this means that all panels register as having a poll() function which is called a lot and does nothing, raising an exception and removing it because of how python implements hasattr().
Found when checking why exceptions were continuously raised on redraw.
Martin, can you check on netrender?
[#24601] Net rendering master node fails to send/retrieve files to/from slaves
Both Reported by Dan McGrath
The second might not actually be fixed with this, but now there is better error checking and reporting.
Misc: add poll method in Panel base class, to better support mixins with different inheritance order.
WM_operator_poll() could fail in cases WM_operator_name_call() would succeed because calling the operator would setup the context before calling poll.
this would result in python raising an invalid error or menu items being greyed out.
now python can also check with an operator context:
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle.poll('INVOKE_SCREEN')
- Setting operator properties was broken because of bpy_types.py meta-classing (surprising this wasn't noticed before!)
- Presets now use a dialog with an OK button.
- Presets use a check function on the filename so invalid chars are replaced editing.
- Submit docs operator was broken.
now addon path is created using the same path functions and selecting where to save the startup.blend
also made some minor changes to path handling funcs.
This runs after changing a property and allows correcting incompatible options.
Returning True will redraw the UI.
Currently this is used for setting the write extension when saving files, so changing the image format also corrects the extension.
The same is accessible from python where its used when saving SVG/EPS/PNG files.
This fixes: [#23828] obj export problems, [#23760] Exporting OBJ and filetype ending
also fixed document submission operator.
Now the filename in the file selector is the one used for writing this means we remove the "Save Over" popup which could be overlooked too easily.
Instead display the filename field with red tint, and a note in the tooltip.
- use preset subclass with funcs for updating the keyconfig
- keyconfig filenames are used for the UI names as with presets (so separation anymore)
- keyconfig's are stored in the preset dir (scripts/cfg dir removed)
- only the active keyconfig script is loaded
- some bugfixes for saving keymaps
- user interactions no longer saves keyconfigs too, I think this needs to be re-worked.
developer note...
multiple keyconfigs at once are not really needed now that they are stored & accessed directly in python.
for now I left it alone but we could consider to remove this capability in the future.
Now reloading the user defaults also unloads/loads addons, resetting the state to the one set in the user preferences.
moved addon functions into bpy.utils
- bpy.utils.addon_enable(name, default_set=True)
- bpy.utils.addon_disable(name, default_set=True)
- bpy.utils.addon_reset_all(name, default_set=True)
the user preference operators now just wrap these.
The reason this didnt work is all sibclasses of pythons type() or PyType_Type in C, have to have their size set to sizeof(PyHeapTypeObject) rather then sizeof(PyTypeObject) as you might expect.
This is strange since its not a heap-class (defined in pythons runtime), but a static C type, so Im not sure about this, and cant find any documentation but it seems to work ok.
- operator properties are now converted into python property() class members which bypass the operator 'properties' member.
self.properties.mysetting
... can now be written as ...
self.mysetting
- fix for error reloading rigify
eg:
bpy.types.Scene.myprop = BoolProperty()
note, this uses an ugly python metaclass, this should be replaced with a C implimentation which is included but commented out, causing crashes in pythons GC which gives no hint as to where the bug comes from.
- better error reporting when an addon fails to load
- upload an addon which loads partly but then fails (eg, module loads but class register fails)
- bugfix addon loading, failier to load would leave _bpy_types._register_immediate = False
- added which change on disk are reloaded when enabling.
- bpy.path.module_names() now returns (module_name, module_path) pairs.
- made operator dir's into python packages
- lazy loading of module which do the actual import and export (faster blender load times)
- general maintanance and small fixes.
- bugfix for exporting x3d materials
- leak fix for exporting 3ds
