To use KeyingSets, simply Outliner-select items in the Datablocks view and press K to add to the active KeyingSet. Then keyframes can be inserted by choosing the 'Active Keying Set' option when inserting keyframes.
Important notes on the current implementation:
* Only properties directly inside some ID-block that is close to the root (i.e. main -> objects -> "someobj" -> location, or main -> materials -> "somemat" -> colour) can be accessed for now, as I haven't got the code for building the inner-parts of the paths working yet. Help on getting this working is welcome (hint to Brecht).
* Properties that can be safely included include simple properties "object -> Dupli Verts", entire arrays "object -> Location" or individual array elements "object -> Location -> y"

Also added typo fix for KeyingSet freeing. It was freeing the KeyingSet instead of it's paths.
Smaller jobs, all in one commit!
- Moved object_do_update out of view3d drawing, into
the event system (currently after notifiers).
Depsgraph calls for setting update flags will have to
keep track of each Screen's needs, so a UI showing only
a Sequencer doesn't do objects.
- Added button in "Properties region" in 3D window to set
or disable 4-split, including the 3 options it has.
(lock, box, clip)
- Restored legacy code for UI, to make things work like
bone rename, autocomplete.
- Node editor now shows Curves widgets again
- Bugfix: composite job increased Viewer user id count
- Bugfix: Node editor, not "Enable nodes" still called
a Job, which didn't do anything
- Various code cleaning, unused vars and prototypes.
When fully implemented, these will be the clearest demonstration of 'Everything is Animateable', as they will allow users to define an arbitary group of settings through selecting items in the Datablocks (RNA-Viewer) View of the Outliner to define custom 'sets'. Such Keying Sets are known as the 'absolute' ones, which are created for a custom purpose.
Of course, 'builtin' Keying Sets will still be provided. Such built-in ones will not work on any particular paths, but will use context info to maintain the legacy method of inserting keyframes (via IKEY menu).
Currently, KeyingSets cannot be created/edited through the UI, though the backend code is in place to do this.
- Added depsgraph tag for object-change in AnimData, so the
new animsys doesn't have to all objects anymore.
(Still WIP, depsgraph has to do this much better)
- Bugfix in notifiers; only 1 notifier was handled for
frame updates
Result: 2 windows, displaying 2 scenes, now can be edited
independently, and play independent. Not when they share
data, of course. :)
* Deleting keyframes should be safer now
* Graph Editor no longer crashes on F-Curves with no keyframes/samples
* Silenced console prints that occurred when an F-Curve had now keyframes.
When inserting keyframes on previous un-animated Objects/bones, F-Curves will be added into Action Groups into either "Object Transform" or <PoseChannel Name>. Ob->Material settings are not grouped for now to illustrate what's possible.
Old files are currently not patched to use do this, as it's still not clear whether this will be ideal.
Fixed memory leaks when closing Blender without exiting Armature EditMode first.
Ton/Brecht - mesh editmode (and a few others I think) are still leaking in this case.
Added a few Material->Mode bitflag conversions as an example for Roland to extend to the remaining settings. There are currently still quite a few settings missing from RNA to be able to convert all of these.
Safe method to move render results to the displayed image.
It now allocates a single image for display, and on each
refresh callback from render, it copies the refreshed
section over to this image, in 32 bits. While rendering
that image then only shows progress updates, as usual.
This also now works for scenes in composte and results
for composite.
This should solve reported crashes for MBlur or SSS.
* Fixed context iterators for PoseChannels. The actual selection test was missing (but layer visibility was getting checked). Also added check for hidden bones here too.
* Removed unnecessary defines added by mfoxdogg in BKE_context.h
* Removed the old hacks in 'Clear ...' operators for ensuring that object animation (ipos/actions) don't overwrite poses. These are no longer necessary, since normal animation calculation is only done in a separate step on frame-changes now.
* Removed the manual checks for layer visibility from 'Clear ...' operators, since that's taken care of by context iterators.
*******
-ported clear loc,rot,scale operators to pose mode operators
- for some reason when animated and you clear anything, the whole aramture clears. somthing to do with the depsgraph stuff that was directly ported from clear armature()
* Added selected, selected+editable, and active to access EditBones for Armature Operators to use. These take into account X-Axis Mirror too, so there is really no need to check that sort of thing anymore in tools.
* Added a quick testing operator for verifying that these loops filter the data correctly. I've dumped this in armature_ops.c for now. It can be activated using the TKEY hotkey in Armature EditMode only. This should be removed once we have a few more functional tools.
* Ported over cleaned up roll-calculation tools from AnimSys2
* Removed a few ugly stubs from posemode code
* Removed RNA for old multires in Mesh, the old mesh->mr struct should never be used (except for loading old files)
* Dealt with sculpt + render (just needed to force multires update)
* sculpt memory leaks fixed
* Entering editmode now always exits paint modes (previously, only happened if editmode was called from the header button)
* Added examples of how to patch up MTex adrcodes for Animato. It appears many of the settings there in RNA are still undefined though!
* Added undo push for the Outliner tweaks I made
* Removed some outdated comment
* Outliner 'select' (i.e. blue/grey highlights for tree items) works again in both normal Outliner + RNA views.
* Fixed bugs/MSVC warnings in animation code
* RNA_blender.h is now generated along with the other files. It is not
used anywhere yet, and still located quite hidden next to the other
rna_*_gen.c files. Read only access for now.
* Inherited properties are not copied from the base anymore but
iterated over. Patch by Vekoon, thanks!
* Array get/set callbacks now do the whole array instead of getting an
index. This is needed for some layers for example so python can set
the array as a whole, otherwise the check that one layer has to be
enabled at all times gets in the way. Also nicer for the C API.
* Also some changes to returning pointers to make the API cleaner, got
rid of the type() callback and instead let get() return PointerRNA
with the type included.
The C API looks like this currently:
http://users.pandora.be/blendix/RNA_blender.h
It's about time that the RNA wrapping for various parts of the animation system were cleaned up for my recent changes. I've moved some code around (and/or deleted a file or two) in the process.
Edit Mesh:
- Added back "Edge Shortest Path select"
It now also does regular selection, more fun!
It's mapped to CTRL+click now, and makes or clears selections
between current and previously activated edge.
Seam/Sharp/etc marking is a toolsetting mode still. These
options cannot become properties easily, because the tool
uses the properties of selected edge to clear...
- Removed a whole bunch of G.f flags, related to mesh drawing.
It's all now local in me->drawflags. Here's the list of
removed old globals:
G_DRAWEDGES
G_DRAWFACES
G_DRAWNORMALS
G_DRAW_VNORMALS
G_ALLEDGES
G_HIDDENEDGES
G_DRAWCREASES
G_DRAWSEAMS
G_DRAWSHARP
G_DRAWBWEIGHTS
G_DRAW_EDGELEN
G_DRAW_FACEAREA
G_DRAW_EDGEANG
use of function pointers in the context callbacks. Apparently
MSVC decides that some of these functions are the same and
makes them into a single function with the same address. I
couldn't figure out if this was a compiler bug or according
to the C spec. Regardless, that means this method can't be
used, so now it uses separate CTX_DATA_DEFINES.
Animsys: added integrated copy of animdata in copy_libblock().
-> by default animdata-copy should relink ID data like Action,
and put a facility to really duplicate it in other code.
(single_user_animdata or so)
* Drivers view in Graph Editor now displays drivers only, instead of displaying normal Animation data.
* 'Materials' channel is now only shown under an Object when there are Materials with animation data...
* Hid more debug prints behind debug flag. These should be removed...
Only object layers have been done for now. The implementation of this should provide a good indicator for how this should be done. Unforunately, the code for animating layer visibility is not that straightforward, since scene->base->layer (not set) settings need to be synchronised with the object->layer (set by Animato) settings.
* Means that full object recalc isn't done, so multires works more as expected now
* Moved mesh element cache back to sculpt session (from sculpt cache), really makes more sense there
* Recoded the conversion code so that all data gets converted. Previously, some IPO's and Actions (notably the ones used for Action Constraints) were not ported across.
* Made F-Curve drawing use more saturated colours to make them more visible. I'm not sure whether this works well in practice.
* Restored some horizontal bounding-box checks to optimise drawing.
* Automatic shortcut keys in menus now compare operator properties as well.
Implemented IDP_EqualsProperties for this.
* I imagine all these compares may be a bit slow, for this case it's not
so bad though because it only happens for one menu when it is opened.
Joshua asked me to check depsgraph drivers; i've added the
very minimal case, but further I'm stuck, need help.
Also made region listeners for Graph Editor work for all.
* ShapeKey conversions should now go to the correct places
* Added fix for drivers to prevent crashes when no driver object is provided (Franky from BBB seems to have one such driver for some reason).
* Temporarily disabled a check when evaluating drivers for whether the driver is tagged for evaluation. Drivers still need to be correctly tagged AND ordered by the Depsgraph to work correctly.
Added support in threaded compositor to copy the viewer
image safely away, prevents crashing especially for
people using blender -E or redrawing viewer while it
composites.
(Note; reloading images in nodes, render result, and
probably other cases have to be checked still)
Compositor now uses threaded jobs.
- updates happen per preview node! Check this file for
fun: http://www.blender.org/bf/composite_image.blend
(any compo node could get preview!)
- had to ensure the composite data gets fully copied before
it executes thread, so editing is not frustrated.
- put back node buttons (missing init)
- added WM_jobs api call to check for running job,
illustrated with red light icon in 'use nodes' button.
- added another callback to WM_jobs, to initialize.
use this init to ensure you only do it when job really
starts.
- added an extra notifier option for WM_jobs, to signal
finished job (like redraw image view)
- fixed file read error, it copied the screen it read,
instead of using it.
- commented out annoying prints for missing ops in imagewin
* Objects parented to bones now load correctly again (so Mancandy no longer looks like he had a run-in with a lawn mulcher). Was caused by a typo. I'm not sure how that got in there (or who did it)
* Action/Graph Editors would crash when loading files with Materials with some drivers.
This commit brings back the drawing code for the 'Graph Editor'. I've decided to call it this, as currently it can show either F-Curves for Animation stored in Actions, or F-Curves for Drivers.
Currently, it shows all curves, since some of the necessary filtering code (i.e. for limiting curve visibility) hasn't been put in place yet. At least this serves as good proof that we can have F-Curves from multiple sources at least.
It should be noted that the code still has to be modified to work with some of the new Animato features, such as F-Curve Modifiers (cycles are an example of one of the features that use this). Also, a nicer way to set the colours of the curves needs to be investigated.
Notes:
* Fixed a few bugs in RNA User-Preferences wrapping
* The keyframe drawing uses the new-style drawing for handles from AnimSys2. There's a minor bug that sometimes occurs, where a distorted handle gets drawn at the origin of the grid on the first run. Hints anyone?
* Removed most of the old data from SpaceIpo struct, as the new code uses that. Maybe later, the directories/files at least should get renamed.
* Removed ancient hack for NVidia/TNT drivers. It is probably no longer needed, but could be restored if someone needs it.
* Made the various datatypes in the DopeSheet get shown again (NOTE: some of the types that don't get conversions to Animato yet may need some further checking).
* Did some code cleanup to allow F-Curve channels to always show RNA-based names correctly
