- The operator its self was registered so resetting the defaults would unhelpfully replace the toolbar with the reset to defaults operator panel.
- The callback for the operator wasnt being used so the settings were changed but the operator didnt re-run.
added _prop suffix to ui functions which take a prop rather then a propname, may change this later since its not that nice but for gsoc branches this keeps existing UI functions working the same.
- icons were scaling by the sqrt(dpi)/8.48528, but infact they only need to be scaled by (dpi/72).
- UI_icon_get_width value was being used without multiplying by dpi scale.
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
Hanging Tooltips solved!
It appeared to be that an active button remained in that state when
another region/editor became active. It then kept the button-activate
state, and therefore also the optional tooltip.
This only happened on fast moves, when a mousemove event was not passed
on anymore to the previously active subwindow.
It has been solved with a new notifier (SWINACTIVE), which gets sent on
new active regions. The screen listener then calls uiFreeActiveButtons()
to find out if buttons were still active somewhere else.
popup appears, saving an extra click
I've separated out the "XXX"-'d event-adding-hack section from the
search-menu code into a separate API function (as recommended there).
This call is used to make sure that textboxes in popups can get
activated by default, to allow typing immediately.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
Report was that move-to-layer menu failed. The real cause was
more complex; had to dive deep in the dungeons of the interface
code that handled undos and operators. Found several issues:
- popup menus (like redo operator, color picker) executed again
on a mouse-exit
- far too many buttons were sending undo pushes; even worse, in
the operator redo-panel each button action was pushed twice
- in case operator redo-buttons have own callbacks (like layer
buttons) the redo wasn't working
- layerbutton menu was called without creating a proper undo/redo
case
Things should all work smoother now!
On todo:
- better definition and handling of all versions for operator menus
(four types now, not fun)
also: make operator "do" menu, which on first action does operator
and then switches to redo-ing
- bring back Undo menu, to list the undo stack and jump in it.
Automatically assign menu keys based on name, alternative to pressing number 0-9 on menus items.
keys are assigned by first giving each menu item the first character of any word, if that fails any key in the name is used.
- active key is shown underlined.
- only ascii keys are assigned currently.
- can run operators, open menu items.
- currently this only works in cases where number buttons were used (UI_BLOCK_NUMSELECT), but could be enabled for file menu, splash etc by removing this check.
[#25159] Vertex locations dont read correctly and are not labeled correctly in the properties bar.
- non rna buttons can now have units set.
- calls with invalid units system now raises an assert().
- include .mxf in filter.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
Bringing back missing feature: Create new directory by typing a not existing name into the directory button.
Note: Small issue still with autocomplete -> if typing the new directory directly after autocomplete, it doesn't execute the operator yet.
Also fixed some minor compile/cleanup issues with warning about signed/unsigned comparison and missing header.
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
- BKE_add_image_extension now sets the extension rather then appending. (no more image.jpg.tga)
- py/rna functions which have no return value now raise an error if a non-None value is returned.
- added back the red-alert flag so buttons can have a red highlight if somethings wrong.
By Luca Bonavita (mindrones)
The patch renames and moves gl_round_box, gl_round_box_shade and gl_round_box_vertical_shade to UI_interface.h, so the extern usages are not needed anymore.
- user input gets non utf8 chars stripped all text input other then file paths.
- python has the same limitations, it will raise an error on non utf8 strings except for paths use unicode escape literals so its possible to deal with saving to these file paths from python.
- new string functions
BLI_utf8_invalid_byte(str, len) returns the first invalid utf8 byte or -1 on on success.
BLI_utf8_invalid_strip(str, len) strips non utf-8 chars.
eg:
row.prop_search_self(scene, "active", "keying_sets", text="")
...becomes
row.prop_search(scene.keying_sets, "active", scene, "keying_sets", text="")
This is more flexible since it works for other UI functions too.
layout.prop_search_self(), the same as layout.prop_search() except it uses an attribute of the collection.
A number of collections have an 'active' member which couldnt be used with prop_search() and meant we had a mix of active properties being in collections and directly added as properties.
- remove brush array for each Paint struct, just use a single brush pointer.
- removed rna function based template filtering.
- filter brushes using a flag on the brush and the pointer poll function.
- set the brushes using a new operator WM_OT_context_set_id().
TODO
- remake startup.blend, currently brush groupings are lost.
- rewrite WM_OT_context_set_id() to use rna introspection.
- use a flag rather then a2 for locking color.
- remove float from button added for color wheel size, use a2 instead.
- holding shift on the color wheel gives higher precission.
Fairly closely match some mac application colin has called 'Looks', to give better results.
- lift is now applied non linear (was being added to the color)
- change the color wheel to preserve the luminance of the gamma and gain values, this stops the color from being set too dark (option for the color wheel template).
- sub-pixel precission for the color wheel since the white area at the center can make a lot of difference with a very small change.
This change will make existing node and sequencer setups lift render slighly differently however discussed this with Ton and he's ok with it.
