custom pynodes tree edited directly as library data would get a 0 user count on reload and subsequently not be saved. Now the node space follows the same pattern as the image space: the node tree(s) user
count gets incremented on file load and opening in the editor ensures a real user. This leads to 1 "unreal" user for the editor (dropped on reload), but seems to be the only viable solution atm.
node materials.
Area and region listener callbacks now get the screen and area pointers passed, so
they can do more fine grained checks to see if redraw is really needed, for example
depending on the 3D view drawtype.
* [#35724] Backdrop zoom can be set to a very small value, making the backdrop disapear.
There were checks in the drawnode that needed to be placed in the readfile.
The checks checked if the zoomlevel was 0.0, then it was defaulted to 1.0, but the zoomvalue had a minimum limit of 0.01, hence it did not work.
Moved the check to the readfile and checked for all values smaller then 0.02. These values are then reset to 1.0

proposal was to add another special init hack for the viewer node->id, but rather would do it right and so moved all the special init hacks for constant ID backpointers (Scene for RenderLayer, Composite,
Defocus, FileOutput and MovieClip for MovieClip, MovieDistortion and Stabilization nodes). These are now part of the local init callbacks functions of the appropriate nodes, using the new initfunc_api
callback which takes a Context pointer, so they have access to Scene.
to be done in cycles itself to keep compatibility for bytecode too.
Also fix broken button to compile OSL from the text editors, this got broken after
recent change to disable editing of library linked nodes.
having to go to the main area for changing socket values.
This patch should be considered a temporary solution. The Active Node panel is a horrible mess and needs to be split up and cleaned. It should probably be moved to python as well.
The drawinputfunc/drawoutputfunc callbacks in bNodeType are pretty much empty wrappers now and should be removed at some point. This per-node differentiation should rather be implemented as a specialized socket type if necessary. The only use case for this feature that remains is the file output node in compositor, which displays shortened file format info for each socket.
Issue was caused by ntreeUpdateTree calling for a ntree
which is not in G.main.
This lead to issues in ntreeVerifyNodes (which is called
from ntreeUpdateTree).
Made is so ntreeUpdateTree now accepts main as an argument.
Will work for the release, later we could either solve the
TODO mentioned in ntreeUpdateTree which will eliminate need
in main there or make it so context's main is used from all
over where ntreeUpdateTree is called (currently there're
still some usages of G.main).
The node link operator had a feature to automatically expose sockets in node groups when ctrl+shift+clicking on a node socket, which would create a node group input/output node. This was intended as a shortcut but conflicts with other features such as socket selection and viewer creation. It is also hardly necessary now that input/output nodes have an extension socket, which is much easier to use. Removed this expose functionality completely.
- build with netbsd works again.
- select uv more/less was crashing when called outside image space.
- node RNA property update was crashing when not called in node space.
The design changes coming with pynodes for the node editor allow editing multiple node groups or pinning. This is great for working on different node groups without switching between them all the time, but it causes a problem for viewer nodes: these nodes all write to the same Image data by design, causing access conflicts and in some cases memory corruption. This was not a problem before pynodes because the editor would only allow 1 edited node group at any time. With the new flexibility of node editors this restriction is gone.
In order to avoid concurrent write access to the viewer image buffer and resolve the ambiguity this patch adds an "active viewer key" to the scene->nodetree (added in bNodeTree instead of Scene due to otherwise circular DNA includes). This key identifies a specific node tree/group instance, which enables the compositor to selectively enable only 1 viewer node.
The active viewer key is switched when opening/closing node groups (push/pop on the snode->treepath stack) or when selecting a viewer node. This way only the "last edited" viewer will be active.
Eventually it would be nicer if each viewer had its own buffer per node space so one could actually compare viewers without switching. But that is a major redesign of viewer nodes and images, not a quick fix for bcon4 ...
The original rationale for adding the node_type property was to allow node group operators work generically on any node group type automatically. The problem is that detecting the appropriate node group type and node tree type to use for a group depends on using a node base type. Due to the fact that RNA does not allow multiple inheritance (mixin classes) this is impossible to achieve if node types also have to use a base type such as ShaderNode, CompositingNode or TextureNode.
The idea is now to just "make it work" by limiting the node group operators to the standard tree types. For future pynodes we can implement these operators nicely in Python, which will allow pynodes to use mixin base classes or derive their own operator types and re-use the same keymapping.
Wrongly replaced a "&" with "|" for a define. That made node headers in node editor
draw too dark. Also made header for default node not use alpha.
In general this drawing is not very good - it gets too transparent and dark.
Needs nicer AA function in interface, will be done later.
* Index was assigned after increment, leading to NULL pointer access later on when looking up socket from list
* Copying default_value requires a valid NULL pointer for clean check
* Was using default_values as parameters instead of sockets, void pointers just passed through without warning ...
To make the type-dependent socket linking in this template a bit more manageable, there are now separate functions that generate "items" for a particular node type consisting of the socket index, name and possibly additional properties required (currently only node groups vs. all other types). This is still nowhere near flexible enough to be used as a generic template all node systems, but works for now.
In order to make this usable as a generic tool we will have to devise a way of storing, comparing, applying node settings *outside of actual node instances*. Then each node needs to tell how sockets are generated based on these properties. For the current nodes this would be far too complicated ...
