The operator names all show up in the Search button. As such is nicer if they
can all have the main words capitalized.
e.g. "Snap strips" should be "Snap Strips"
"Copy to clipboard" should be "Copy to Clipboard"
This was done with a mix of bash tools, regex, and manual work because I'm too rushed into regex :)

Issue was caused by a fix for rendered sequencer preview mode, which
will likely conflict with compositor job. Made it so compositor job
will be killed when sequencer uses rendered preview.
This is actually a bit arbitrary decision and mainly it preserves
compatibility with how images were displaying in previous releases.
In fact, we actually would need to think about configurable backdrop
color and blending mode to be used for display in RGB mode.
Issue was caused by preview job starting just moment before
sequencer starts rendering. This lead to threading conflicts
since renderer itself is not thread-safe.
Now all preview jobs would be killed before sequencer starts
rendering stack when final render for preview is enabled.
- add sequence.update(data=False) function.
- made some sequence vars editable.
- correct some comments.
also rename rna function sequence.getStripElem() --> strip_elem_from_frame()
With the view3d 'Render Only' option, grease pencil wouldn't draw, but for OpenGL render it did.
Since grease pencil can be very useful in opengl renders, enable grease pencil drawing with 'Render Only' option in the viewport,
and add a checkbox in the grease pencil header not to draw (unchecking each layer is annoying and applies to all spaces).
Was own regression when was solving conflict between sequencer preview
and compositor jobs. Made it so now only compositor jobs are being
killed from sequencer preview.
There were two issues in scene strip rendering:
- It will skip rendering if scene doesn't have camera but uses compositor
- G.is_break will cancel preview rendering
Also removed Use Sequencer from scene's strip settings, it's not supported.
Sequencer recursion was never actually supported and only gives lots of
issues. Disabled it now, so users are not getting confused by semi-working
stuff.
Also made a correction to rendered sequencer preview, so now using scene
strip in it's own sequencer will work properly (it produced black frames
before).
This required killing compositor jobs since they could be using the same
render result as renderer called from sequencer uses.
Small improvements could be:
- Add slight delay before compositor job starts handling nodes so killing
this job would be fast
- Tag compositor to be updated after preview was fully rendered.
As suggested by Campbell on the IRC gave grease pencil its own notifier type (NC_GPENCIL) and made the makesrna notifier functions actually update properly.
Also got the #ifdef'd GreasePencil.layers.[new/remove] functions working.
The issue was caused by SEQ_BEGIN macro modifying sequence's depth
which ruined transformation routines. Used own DFS instead which
doesn't modify sequences.
Also corrected some typos in api and comments.
Color management would be applied on both of float and byte buffers on image
save in cases if file format doesn't require linear float buffer and if image
is saving as render result.
This solves both initial report issue and TODO marked in previous fix.
Also de-duplicated image buffer color managing code and gave some more
meaningful names for few functions. Also wrote documentation around this
function, so current assumptions about spaces should be clear enough.
Made regression tests by saving EXR/PNG images to all supported format and
rendering OpenGL/Normal animation, in all cases seems everything is fine,
but more tests for sure would be welcome.
Main problem was in py UI code (has to set the context to INVOKE_REGION_PREVIEW for the shortcut lookup to succeed).
Also moved the N properties item into SequencerCommon keymap, and removed the View Selected menu entry from preview-only mode View menu (thx to Ejner Fergo for pointing this out).
Replace old color pipeline which was supporting linear/sRGB color spaces
only with OpenColorIO-based pipeline.
This introduces two configurable color spaces:
- Input color space for images and movie clips. This space is used to convert
images/movies from color space in which file is saved to Blender's linear
space (for float images, byte images are not internally converted, only input
space is stored for such images and used later).
This setting could be found in image/clip data block settings.
- Display color space which defines space in which particular display is working.
This settings could be found in scene's Color Management panel.
When render result is being displayed on the screen, apart from converting image
to display space, some additional conversions could happen.
This conversions are:
- View, which defines tone curve applying before display transformation.
These are different ways to view the image on the same display device.
For example it could be used to emulate film view on sRGB display.
- Exposure affects on image exposure before tone map is applied.
- Gamma is post-display gamma correction, could be used to match particular
display gamma.
- RGB curves are user-defined curves which are applying before display
transformation, could be used for different purposes.
All this settings by default are only applying on render result and does not
affect on other images. If some particular image needs to be affected by this
transformation, "View as Render" setting of image data block should be set to
truth. Movie clips are always affected by all display transformations.
This commit also introduces configurable color space in which sequencer is
working. This setting could be found in scene's Color Management panel and
it should be used if such stuff as grading needs to be done in color space
different from sRGB (i.e. when Film view on sRGB display is use, using VD16
space as sequencer's internal space would make grading working in space
which is close to the space using for display).
Some technical notes:
- Image buffer's float buffer is now always in linear space, even if it was
created from 16bit byte images.
- Space of byte buffer is stored in image buffer's rect_colorspace property.
- Profile of image buffer was removed since it's not longer meaningful.
- OpenGL and GLSL is supposed to always work in sRGB space. It is possible
to support other spaces, but it's quite large project which isn't so
much important.
- Legacy Color Management option disabled is emulated by using None display.
It could have some regressions, but there's no clear way to avoid them.
- If OpenColorIO is disabled on build time, it should make blender behaving
in the same way as previous release with color management enabled.

Thanks to Xavier Thomas, Lukas Toene for initial work on OpenColorIO
integration and to Brecht van Lommel for some further development and code/
usecase review!
This avoids having bunch of cached images when doing animation rendering,
keeping all the memory available for rendered itself.
This keeps memory usage low when rendering huge edits with mixed
scenes and movie strips.
This should not affect on sped of video encoding, which was confirmed by
some own tests.
