The first time setup screen only has the interaction preset currently, some
more work is needed to be able to set e.g. the language or compute device
here as in the mockups.
The splash screen stayed the same for now, to make room for the templates
most of the links are now in the Help menu. If there are no recent files yet
the links still show.
The splash screen buttons implementation was fully moved to Python, in the
WM_MT_splash menu.
Currently drop operators work mostly by specifying the name of the datablock.
However there can be datablocks with the same name in different libraries, so
this gives wrong results in some cases.
Currently only outliner drop operators have been updated to use this mechanism.
Will help entering sculpt mode on file load by making it possible
to fully initialize sculpt session. The goal is to make sure PBVH
exists since the very beginning of file open (missing PBVH is a
reason why object is not visible before first stroke).
This is not enough yet to fully solve the issue, since entering
sculpt mode tags object for Copy-on-Write update, which frees
PBVH.
It was a bit odd that the scene was stored per window but not the view
layer. The reasoning was that you would use different view layers for
different tasks. This is still possible, but it's more predictable to
switch them both explicitly, and with child window support manually
syncing the view layers between multiple windows is no longer needed
as often.
* Main windows show a topbar and statusbar, and select a workspace and
scene. They are created with Window > New Main Window.
* Child windows do not show a topbar or statusbar. These follow the
workspace and scene of their parent main window. Created with Window >
New Window or View > Duplicate Area into New Window.
* The purpose of this change is to support multi monitor setups where you
just want to put more editors on the other monitors. Without multiple
topbars and statusbars, working within a single workspace and scene.
Creating multiple main windows is intended to be a concious choice to
do different tasks in different workspaces and scenes.
* Note these changes do not currently affect how the operating system
treats the windows.
* When changing the workspace, the layout in all child windows changes.
This makes sense if we consider child windows to be just a way to
extend the main window across more monitors. In some case it may be
useful to keep the same layout though, we can add an option for this
depending on user feedback.
This removes OperatorRepeatContextHandle, from 5f6c45498c
since we now only have redo in the area an operator is executed in.
These values could be invalid and crashed in some cases.
This is the first step to moving redo out of the top-bar, see: T55039
- Support for floating panels in the ScrArea has been added.
- A new region type RGN_TYPE_HUD is used for floating settings input.
- Only one HUD should be visible at a time.
- Currently HUD regions are only visible
for 3D view and image space types.
- There are currently some remaining glitches with hide/show
that need further investigation.
