from Sebastian Nell (codemanx), with some edits
- Changed key shortcut to Shift+Enter.
- made into its own operator since it works differently to delete.
added some missing functions too - which are not used yep but should be there for api completeness.
* CDDM_set_mloop
* CDDM_set_mpoly
* BLI_mempool_count
note: BPY_class_validate() could come in handy later if we need to check classes for properties/functions but for now there is no point in keeping it in.
- remove report argument from console functions.
- don't update the scroll area while drawing, do this within operators instead.
- dont redraw while selecting text unless selection changes.
Ton will work on moving the File menu out of the Info space before release.
notes.
- reply Operator isn't working anymore.
- UI for reports is commented out so its not mixed with the file menu.
- remove console zoom operator, use WM_OT_context_cycle_int instead.
- use WM_OT_context_cycle_int for text editor zoom also (Ctrl +/- and Ctrl+MouseWheel)
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.
- reports can be selected with RMB, Border (bkey) and (de)select all.
- delete reports (X key)
- run operators in the console (R key)
- copy reports (Ctrl+C), can be pasted in the text editor an run with alt+p
Details
- Added "selected_editable_objects" and "selected_editable_bases" to screen_context.c, use the scene layers, this was needed for duplicate to run outside the 3D view.
- RNA_property_as_string converted an array of 1 into "(num)" need a comma so python sees it as a tuple - "(num,)"
- add flag to reports, use for seletion atm.
opens a new world of context bugs :)
* Drawing the console text now skips all lines outside the view bounds.
* Added dummy C operators for console.exec and console.autocomplete so blender wont complain at startup, its not really a problem but people testing reported it a few times. Eventually we should have some way python operators are initialized before the spaces operators are checked.
* reordered the imports so the "ui" dir is imported before "io", for now this means bpy.ops is defined before exporters and importers need to use it, was causing a python error on startup.
* fixed all compiler warnings for the console (gcc4.4)
* stopped operators were printing out the return flag.
* removed references to ACT_OT_test, TEXT_OT_console_exec and TEXT_OT_console_autocomplete
- Set View2D operators not to register, got in the way a lot with the console.
- Made autocomplete Ctrl+Enter so Tab can be used.
- Should work with python 2.5 now. (patch from Vilda)
- Moved report struct definitions into DNA_windowmanager_types.h, could also have DNA_report_types.h however the reports are not saved, its just needed so the report list can be used in the wmWindowManager struct. Fixes a crash reported by ZanQdo.
- Store the report message length in the report so calculating the total height including word wrap is not so slow.
* interactive console python console.
* display reports and filter types. defaults to operator display so you can see the python commands for tools as you use them,
eventually it should be possible to select commands and make macto/tools from them.
Example use of autocomp. b<tab>, bpy.<tab>, bpy.<tab>, bpy.data.<tab> etc.
basic instructions are printed when opening the console.
Details...
* Console exec and autocomp are done with operators written in python.
* added CTX_wm_reports() to get the global report list.
* The window manager had a report ListBase but reports have their own struct, switched to allocate and assign when initializing the WM since the type is not available in DNA.
* changed report types flags for easier display filtering.
* added report type RPT_OPERATOR
* logging operators also adds a python-syntax report into CTX_wm_reports() so they can be displayed in the console as well as calling a notifier for console to redraw.
* RnaAPI context.area.tag_redraw() to redraw the current area from a python operator.
Todo...
* better interactions with the console, scrolling, copy/paste.
* the text displayed doesnt load back.
* colors need to be themed.
* scroll limit needs to be a user pref.
* only tested with cmake and scons.
