The outliner is a hierarchical diagram displaying a list of data in Blender and its dependencies. The 'databrowse' doesn't really show it, and Oops is too chaotic still. And most of all, the former two don't offer much tools. After discussions on irc, Matt came with this design proposal; http://mke3.net/blender/interface/layout/outliner/ Which is closely followed for the implementation. The current version only shows all 'library data' in Blender (objects, meshes, ipos, etc) and not the 'direct data' such as vertex groups or NLA. I decided to make it inside the Oopw window, as an option. You can find the option in the "View" pulldown, or directly invoke it with ALT+SHIFT+F9 Here's a quick overview of the Outliner GUI: - Header pulldown has options what it can show (Visible = in current layers) - click on triangle arrow to open/close - press AKEY to open/close all - Leftmouse click on an item activates; and does based on type a couple of extra things: - activates a scene - selects/activates the Object - enters editmode (if clicked on Mesh, Curve, etc) - shows the appropriate Shading buttons (Lamp, Material, Texture) - sets the IpoWindow to the current IPO - activates the Ipo-channel in an Action - Selected and Active objects are drawn in its Theme selection color - SHIFT+click on Object does extend-select - Press DOTkey to get the current active data in center of view TODO; - rightmouse selection; for indicating operations like delete or duplicate - showing more data types - icon (re)design... - lotsof options as described in Matts paper still...
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
