This calls a registered menu as a popup so we can reuse header menus , currently used for Node editor and Sequencer add menu (Shift+A), can be used for toolbox too.
* Code for generating 'Object' summary of Keyframes for DopeSheet (which is also used by the TimeLine for getting keyframes to draw) now considers materials, object data, and particles too.
* Rearranged the way that keyframing-related settings were presented in the User Preferences. The way the settings were grouped was plain confusing, and based on biased views from the old system. For the record, 'needed'+'visual' are always considered when inserting keyframes, 'always' is for autokeyframing, and default interpolation is only used for newly created F-Curves.
* Fixed bug #19472 - Scroll wheel scrolls in the wrong direction for enum-menus that were flipped (i.e. window type menu and 3d-view mode selector).
Added a way to view and edit Keying Sets via the Scene Buttons. These are still some tweaks needed to make this really workable, but should still work well enough for simply viewing and tweaking existing Keying Sets created using other means.
Additional bugfixes:
* Adjusted the size of labels on properties that had a 'label' for their name. Now it uses 1/3 of the total width instead, which looks much better for most cases.
* Added missing entries for adding Force Fields from the Info-header 'Add' menu. At some point we should unify this menu with the popup operator's one, since this is exactly the kind of situation we had hoped in avoid with new UI architectures.
* Moved all the operator defines for keyframing stuff to the 'intern' anim header instead
one active. Now there's a function to get the pointer + property from
the UI, just like for the animation operators.
Also two fixes for fileselect events, regions are now preserved so that
context is restored to the old region, and the cancel callback is called
when the operator is cancelled.
Editors Modules
* render/ module added in editors, moved the preview render code there and
also shading related operators.
* physics/ module made more consistent with other modules. renaming files,
making a single physics_ops.c for operators and keymaps. Also move all
particle related operators here now.
* space_buttons/ now should have only operators relevant to the buttons
specificially.
Updates & Notifiers
* Material/Texture/World/Lamp can now be passed to DAG_id_flush_update,
which will go back to a callback in editors. Eventually these should
be in the depsgraph itself, but for now this gives a unified call for
doing updates.
* GLSL materials are now refreshed on changes. There's still various
cases missing,
* Preview icons now hook into this system, solving various update cases
that were missed before.
* Also fixes issue in my last commit, where some preview would not render,
problem is avoided in the new system.
Icon Rendering
* On systems with support for non-power of two textures, an OpenGL texture
is now used instead of glDrawPixels. This avoids problems with icons get
clipped on region borders. On my Linux desktop, this gives an 1.1x speedup,
and on my Mac laptop a 2.3x speedup overall in redrawing the full window,
with the default setup. The glDrawPixels implementation on Mac seems to
have a lot of overhread.
* Preview icons are now drawn using proper premul alpha, and never faded so
you can see them clearly.
* Also tried to fix issue with texture node preview rendering, globals can't
be used with threads reliably.
blocking the user when opening a menu. Material and texture buttons now
display these icons in the list. Also fixes#19387, icon and full preview
render at the same time would crash.
I'm not really convinced this is thread-safe, but on the other hand also
not sure regular preview render is really thread-safe yet.
* The code to draw only visible items was not working, giving slow
performance with many files (bug #19469).
* Fix detailed list display on non-windows, would give overlapping text.
* Fix folders with many files not displaying all items, changed short to
int in various places, was overflowing.
* Recreate layout on area resizes, file view gets out of sync otherwise.
* Workaround for v2d height not being correct with image display due to
scrollers.
* Fix view2d code to compute minimum scroller size, this would make the
scroller go outside of its bounds.
Drivers can now be copied/pasted for single properties, allowing drivers set up on one property to be added to a few other properties relatively easily.
Also, added description strings for the other driver-button operators.
* #19459: Shape Keys not Animateable
Shape Keys were missing the appropriate 'path' callbacks.
* #19458: 3D Viewport doesn't refresh when adding new bone in editmode (using Shift-A)
The 'wrong' notifier was being sent. Currently, Armature EditMode only responds to NC_OBJECT|ND_TRANSFORM, which isn't strictly that correct for all cases.
* Alignment code for constraints headers (i.e. enable/disable lumped with the delete constraint button) was causing the delete button to not work anymore. Removed the offending code (it shouldn't have been there to start off with).
* When object's don't have their own AnimData (i.e. if you only animate the values of some shapekeys), a space is no longer left beside the object's name for a visibility toggle in the Graph Editor.
With mouse events event->val started as 0/1 for press/release but later the tweak function made LMB and RMB zero value into KM_RELEASE, somehow MMB didnt get used by the tweak function so was left at 0 and the modal keymap function failed when comparing MMB Mouse ups.
now initialize event->val as KM_PRESS/KM_RELEASE
(http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Todo/UserInterface)
* Removed panel docking. "It is too easy to do by accident when reordering panels, is very hard to control and use, and has no real benefit."
* Scoll bars have minimum size now, so that the 'thumb' doesn't disappear in long lists.
% sign for percentage assuming it is between 0-100, while factor is
for values 0-1.
Move collision setting absorption from modifier to collision settings,
was inconsistent to have it there as the only one, and made it have
range 0.0-1.0 instead of 0-100.
issues like Shift+R (repeat last) not giving capital R in the text
editor. There is also new modal handler list at the window level,
and the API call will always add it to that one now, since modal
handlers were not used in other levels.
The order used to be:
* window modal + keymap
* area modal + keymap
* region modal + keymap
Now it is:
* window modal
* region keymap
* area keymap
* window keymap
their handlers based on notifiers, which is simpler and more
reliable.
This fixes for example editmode or uv edit keymaps not working
when creating a new 3dview or image space.
* Removed some legacy code which is not needed anymore now.
* Move some test_*poin_but functions to logic space code,
since that's the only place using it still.
* uiIconFromID now uses RNA info to lookup the icon, to avoid
code duplication, and means it works for more ID types.
* The image panels in the image editor and texture buttons
should be more complete now, with working new/open,
refreshes, and using the layout engine.
* Paint panels in image editor are now consistent with the
ones in the 3d view toolbar.
* Curves panel also uses layout engine, and doesn't look
squashed anymore.
* Fix problem with curve mapping / color ramps not updating
things like previews propertly. Now it uses the RNA update
of the pointer from the material/texture/.. so each of those
can define their own update, but still share the RNA struct.
* Code for these templates is now in interface_templates.c
* Fix exception for "axis" property, now it always shows normal
widget with the PROP_DIRECTION subtype.
* Remove context from uiBlockLayoutResolve, no longer needed.
- last commit, missed include for rna_object_api.c & bad args to find_basis_mball
- use enum for GHOST tablet type None/Stylus/Eraser, had duplicate definition for these in C. Only tested X11, may need to cast to an int for other OS's.
- 'center', while Ctrl is held select objects from their center location
- 'enumerate', while Alt is held, give a list of objects under the mouse
- Object selection menu now uses icons with names
- operator object.select_name(name, extend=False)
- keybindings so combinations of Ctrl/Alt/Shift can be used (like in 2.4x)
- logic text input field was using deprecated ID_SCRIPT rather then ID_TXT
details
- added comments to DNA_ID.h ID types
- removed unused ID types Sector and Life
- added uiIconFromID() to get an icon from the object.
- using name for selection is weak but currently there isnt a really good way to do this.
#19302: the spin operator did not redo correct when changing properties.
Actually the problem was somewhere else, the search menu always did an
unnecessary undo push, which conflicted with an operator undo push with
the same name. Only in the case of "Spin" was this noticed, because it's
name is so short and you actually type it completely.
#19328: swapping areas could crash when dragging mouse outside the window.
Attempted fix for #19331, #19335 as well, where backspace and some other
keys give square characters instead of working as expected. Couldn't
reproducable here, so please test.
#19345: can't get out of grayed out pointer field.
#19342: item_pointerR fields can't be cleared with one item.
#19341: fix hanging tooltips when manipulating regions.
#19339: context panel still allowed tabbing, but it has no header.
#19334: editing SSS settings crashed previewrender.
#19330: object mode could not be switched on from the header menu.
* layout.itemR now has icon_only option to show only icon
in e.g. enums buttons, for uv editor header.
* Automatic key shortcuts in menus now show the shortcut even if
operator properties don't match. Not sure this will work well
everywhere, but seems to be working ok for now.
* Open recent now show shorter filenames instead of the whole
file path.
* Tweak object Duplicate menu item.
* Added RNA subtype for layers.
* Shift-click works again.
* uiItemR can now also handle armature/bone layers.
* Also makes Move to Layer popup work as expected.
Make local and make single user are back for ID template.
Internally these calls got unified, id_make_local and
id_copy are now used to do these operations for all types
that support it. Also reveals that for some ID types the
implementation is still missing.
Further, some small changes:
* unlink_text is now in blenkernel.
* copy_group was implemented.
* ID template now has an open operator again.
* fix preview to not change material reference count,
even if temporary it shows up with threaded preview.
* id_unlink unifies unlink for text, object and group.
Notifiers
---------
Various fixes for wrong use of notifiers, and some new notifiers
to make things a bit more clear and consistent, with two notable
changes:
* Geometry changes are now done with NC_GEOM, rather than
NC_OBJECT|ND_GEOM_, so an object does need to be available.
* Space data now use NC_SPACE|ND_SPACE_*, instead of data
notifiers or even NC_WINDOW in some cases. Note that NC_SPACE
should only be used for notifying about changes in space data,
we don't want to go back to allqueue(REDRAW..).
Depsgraph
---------
The dependency graph now has a different flush call:
DAG_object_flush_update(scene, ob, flag)
is replaced by:
DAG_id_flush_update(id, flag)
It still works basically the same, one difference is that it now
also accepts object data (e.g. Mesh), again to avoid requiring an
Object to be available. Other ID types will simply do nothing at
the moment.
Docs
----
I made some guidelines for how/when to do which kinds of updates
and notifiers. I can't specify totally exact how to make these
decisions, but these are basically the guidelines I use. So, new
and updated docs are here:
