* Submenus displaying the options available for certain operators now will now show the hotkey for the operator on the menu entries.
* Added an option for mirroring keyframes in the Graph Editor which makes use of the new cursor
* Changing to the ShapeKey editor now automatically enables the value sliders
* Filtering code for ShapeKey editor can now do AnimData block filtering too (internal details...)
* Silenced console warnings when inserting keyframes on F-Curves with no keyframes already (for Animation Editor sliders)
* Made the update code for keyframe transforms send more general depsgraph updates. Unfortuately, this still doesn't resolve the update problems with shapekeys
* Summary channel now works in DopeSheet AND Action Editors
* By clicking on the expand/collapse widget on the summary channel, you can now show/hide all the other channels in the editor.
Added a summary channel that appears as the first channel in the DopeSheet. For now, this is disabled by default, but can be enabled using the 'Summary' toggle in the header between the mode selector and the standard filtering options. This has been done, since there is a possibility that it will make the DopeSheet run a bit slower.
In this channel you can do everything that you can normally do with DopeSheet channels (i.e. select, transform, edit, etc). It might be worth noting though that care probably needs to be taken when trying to use Copy/Paste, since that is still a bit fidgety...
In the process, I've fixed a few bugs, mostly with selection:
- Selecting keyframes in scene summaries wouldn't work
- Border select only worked in F-Curve and Group channels
* Extremes are shown as red/pink diamonds
* I've changed the order of extremes and breakdowns in the code to make for nicer sizing/ordering. This might break a couple of files out there, but it shouldn't be too many.
TODO:
Still on my todo is to make these tags more useful (i.e. less likely to be overwritten by keyframing)
* 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.
* DopeSheet + Graph Editor - 'Sample Keyframes' option now tags newly created keyframes as being breakdowns. Also moved reduced the code duplication here by moving the core code for this to the animation module.
* Keyframing (Standard/Auto) - Added proper 'replace' option
Keyframes can now be rekeyed non-destructively when the INSERTKEY_REPLACE flag is provided to the keyframing API functions, since this option will make sure that only the values of the handles get altered.
For the Auto-Keyframing 'Replace/Edit Keys' option, this means that it truly works as it describes now, since it will now only replace the values of the keyframes on the current frame, and won't create new keyframes in the process or destroy the tangents already created for those keys.
For things like the sliders in animation editors, keyframes changing the value won't destroy existing tangents.
It is now possible to tag certain keyframes as being 'breakdowns' in the DopeSheet. Breakdown keyframes are drawn as slightly smaller blue diamonds.
Simply select the relevant keyframes and use the RKEY hotkey (or from the menus, Key->Keyframe Type) to choose between tagging the keyframe as a 'proper' keyframe and a 'breakdown' keyframe.
Notes:
* Please note that this feature does not currently imply anything about breakdowns moving around keyframes or behaving any differently from any other type of keyframe
* In future, if there is any such need, more keyframe types could be added, though this is not really likely at all
New Actions can now be added again from the Action Editor.
There are no guarantees that this works totally safely yet (reference counting may be quite off), so you've been warned.
* Inserting keyframes now takes into account whether the F-Curve was editable or not.
* Editing keyframes in animation editors now sends proper depsgraph updates instead of just tagging the relevant objects.
Thanks JiriH for reporting these bugs.
when passing properties=True as argument.
Other changes:
* uiItemR, uiItemFullR, uiItemFullO now accept a flag argument rather
than multiple different "boolean" arguments, but still exposed as
booleans to python.
* Fix RNA to support setting PROP_RNAPTR for return values.
* Fix header menu spacing bug, and make it consistent for all headers.
* For consistency, always put menus first in the header, then any enums
to switch the type of data displayed.
* Node editor header ported to python layout. Still quite a few
operators missing to make the menus complete.
* RNA wrapped node editor, and added use_nodes property to material
and scene.
* Tools such as set handle type, etc. were not being called correctly from the menus. There were missing operator-context calls to make sure that the invoke methods would get skipped.
* Hack for loading old files - buttons region for Graph Editor now gets added. Dunno why this didn't work automatically as for NLA despite the two having the same code.
These operators may be temporary only, depending on if a workable solution via transform is found.
* PageUp moves strips into the track above if there's space
* PageDown moves strips into the track below if there's space
* Also fixed a button-alignment bug in the DopeSheet header
As with the DopeSheet, the names of operators in the Graph Editor have been cleaned up, and operators have been added to menus as appropriate to show their availability.
Tweaked a few DopeSheet operator names to be more in line with the Graph Editor equivalents, and vica versa.
TODO: now, the operator poll callbacks here need checking...
* Replaced old-style menu defines with the new-style Layout Engine ones. These are now much cleaner as a result :)
* Wrapped DopeSheet and Graph Editors in RNA to allow them to use the new Layout Engine for menu drawing
* Shortened the names of operators in the DopeSheet, removing the "keyframes" prefix since that's the only real context which can operate there.
* Standardised a few names, and renamed a confusingly named operator (cfrasnap -> jump to frame)
* Added back backgrounds behind buttons for modifiers and driver targets
* 'Protect' toggle doesn't draw for F-Curves with no keyframes to prevent editing on anymore
* Inserting keyframes on objects using builtin keyingsets now use the right names
- Fun for testers: Added "Redo Operator" Panel in view3d 'nkey' region.
It's going to be part of tools UI I know, but this will give good
tests of what goes on with operators. I had to add small fixes in
Transform for it already. :)
One important issue to note is that it lists every operator, also from
non-3D-window ops. Needs checked or classified somehow.
- Fix: removed bad 2.4x hack from how pulldown menus were defined. Made
widget code cleaner, and will show menus like SHIFT+A correct now.
More cleanup!
- removed old UI font completely, including from uiBeginBlock
- emboss hints for uiBlock only have three types now;
Regular, Pulldown, or "Nothing" (only icon/text)
- removed old font path from Userdef
- removed all old button theme hinting
- removed old "auto block" to merge buttons in groups
(was only in use for radiosity buttons)
And went over all warnings. One hooray for make giving clean output :)
Well, we need uniform definitions for warnings, so people at least fix
them... here's the real bad bugs I found:
- in mesh code, a call to editmesh mixed *em and *me
- in armature, ED_util.h was not included, so no warnings for wrong call
to ED_undo_push()
- The extern Py api .h was not included in the bpy_interface.c, showing
a several calls using different args.
Further just added the missing includes, and removed unused vars.
There was very little structure in this code, using many globals
and duplicated code. Now it should be better structured. Most
things should work, the main parts that are not back yet are the
python plugins and markers. Notes:
* Blenfont is used for drawing the text, nicely anti-aliased.
* A monospace truetype font was added, since that is needed for
the text editor. It's Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. This is the
default gnome terminal font, but it doesn't fit entirely well
with the other font I think, can be changed easily of course.
* Clipboard copy/cut/paste now always uses the system clipboard,
the code for the own cut buffer was removed.
* The interface buttons should support copy/cut/paste again now
as well.
* WM_clipboard_text_get/WM_clipboard_text_set were added to the
windowmanager code.
* Find panel is now a kind of second header, instead of a panel.
This needs especially a way to start editing the text field
immediately on open still.
* Operators are independent of the actual space when possible,
was a bit of puzzling but got it solved nice with notifiers,
and some lazy init for syntax highlight in the drawing code.
* RNA was created for the text editor space and used for buttons.
* Operators:
* New, Open, Reload, Save, Save As, Make Internal
* Run Script, Refresh Pyconstraints
* Copy, Cut, Paste
* Convert Whitespace, Uncomment, Comment, Indent, Unindent
* Line Break, Insert
* Next Marker, Previous Marker, Clear All Markers, Mark All
* Select Line, Select All
* Jump, Move, Move Select, Delete, Toggle Overwrite
* Scroll, Scroll Bar, Set Cursor, Line Number
* Find and Replace, Find, Replace, Find Set Selected,
Replace Set Selected
* To 3D Object
* Resolve Conflict
* Scene and World AnimDatas are now included in animation editors
* Keyframes for integer-value settings now get the FCURVE_INT_VALUES flag set for their F-Curves, which restricts those curves to only having integer-values. F-Curve displays have been altered accordingly, but some editing tools may still need tweaks to work with this.
* Fixed notifiers for Insert Keyframe -> Active Keying Set.
Smaller jobs, all in one commit!
- Moved object_do_update out of view3d drawing, into
the event system (currently after notifiers).
Depsgraph calls for setting update flags will have to
keep track of each Screen's needs, so a UI showing only
a Sequencer doesn't do objects.
- Added button in "Properties region" in 3D window to set
or disable 4-split, including the 3 options it has.
(lock, box, clip)
- Restored legacy code for UI, to make things work like
bone rename, autocomplete.
- Node editor now shows Curves widgets again
- Bugfix: composite job increased Viewer user id count
- Bugfix: Node editor, not "Enable nodes" still called
a Job, which didn't do anything
- Various code cleaning, unused vars and prototypes.
* Cleaned up UI_interface.h a bit, and added some comments to
organize things a bit and indicate what should be used when.
* uiMenu* functions can now be used to create menus for headers
too, this is done with a uiDefMenuBut, which takes a pointer
to a uiMenuCreateFunc, that will then call uiMenu* functions.
* Renamed uiMenuBegin/End to uiPupMenuBegin/End, as these are
specific to making popup menus. Will convert the other
conformation popup menu functions to use this too so we can
remove some code.
* Extended uiMenu functions, now there is is also:
BooleanO, FloatO, BooleanR, EnumR, LevelEnumR, Separator.
* Converted image window headers to use uiMenu functions, simplifies
menu code further here. Did not remove the uiDefMenu functions as
they are used in sequencer/view3d in some places now (will fix).
* Also tried to simplify and fix bounds computation a bit better
for popup menus. It tried to find out in advance what the size
of the menu was but this is difficult with keymap strings in
there, now uiPopupBoundsBlock can figure this out afterwards and
ensure the popup is within the window bounds. Will convert some
other functions to use this too.
* Made the various datatypes in the DopeSheet get shown again (NOTE: some of the types that don't get conversions to Animato yet may need some further checking).
* Did some code cleanup to allow F-Curve channels to always show RNA-based names correctly
* Streamlined the filtering code to remove a few redundant options, which required tweaking the code for most tools
* F-Curves are simply displayed using their full paths right now. This should eventually be the UI-string stored in RNA, but right now there are still a few missing things.
* There are a few tools which are not available yet which were available in 2.5 before Animato was added:
- Copy/Paste
- Rearrange channels
Also, the DopeSheet is not totally functional (in terms of displaying animation data for sub-object data yet). That will be added tomorrow.
* Added 'Action Group' pointer to F-Curves, as it will be handy for allowing Bone channels to still remain grouped as they were before with the Action Channels. However, reintroducing such a structure to the data-storage is not anticipated...
Python operator api was using WM_operator_name_call() which was confusing things too much.
Added WM_operator_call_py() which ended up being a very small function and split out operator creation into wm_operator_create()
Python operator now runs the poll() function and raises an error if it fails.
Eventually there should be error messages for poll that python can use to give the exact reason for failing (eg - library linked data, no active object...)
* Added back enable (Ctrl-Shift-W), disable (Alt-W), and toggle (Shift-W) operators to channels view. They are separate operators which use the same backend code.
* Fixed icon-drawing for IPO-curve 'protect' buttons. After doing this, I've realised that many tools will need some alterations to take this into account. That commit will come later.
* errors in python called operators are raised as errors
* Python defined operators errors are reported as errors (not full traceback yet)
* added BKE_reports_string, same as BKE_reports_print but it returns a string rather then printing it.
* WM_operator_name_call optionally takes an initialized report struct
This can be activated using Ctrl-C/V and the buttons on the header.
It still uses an ugly global copy/paste buffer for now. In future, we could investigate alternative methods...
* Fixed up most of the relevant Fixme's for Action Editor and/or some animation stuff
* Added keymap for action editor transforms to transform keymap.
* Added context pointer to TransInfo struct. This was needed to avoid passing context to everything. As such, renamed the old 'context' setting to options.
* Brought back clean (OKEY), sample (Shift-OKEY), and delete (XKEY/DELKEY) tools for the Action Editor.
Currently clean uses a predefined threshold (as a rna-prop, though it's still lacking the popup to set this when it is called)
* Added new file for 'destructive' keyframe operations/tools.
* Got keyframing.c compiling. Now, some of these tools need to be operatorised. Also, the API there might change when enough of the system is stable for RNA-IPO work to take place (so that it can be tested).
* After several hours of manual dragging and typing the icon file is now
enlarged and completely reorganised logically, rather than scattered
throughout. This should provide a lot more room for growth, and is a
lot easier to work with (also allowing more space for toggle buttons
that require two icon slots next to each other). The icon grid has now
25 x 24 icons - hopefully this might last us for a couple more years :)
Some of the naming of icon defines is a bit ancient and can be cleaned
up a bit further. Other devs, if when bringing spaces back, it's
finding the wrong icon, or missing a define, try and look to see if
it's already existing in the new icon file, or drop me a note and I'll
fix it up.
Note: after these changes, older custom blender 2.4 icon
files won't work and will need to be updated to the new layout.
* Enlarged the icons themselves from 15x16 pixels to 16x16 pixels (icon
designer request). This is a more standard size, and is easier to fit
stuff in proportionally.
* Added a bunch more of jendrzych's icons that weren't added previously
since there wasn't space in the icon file (including a few more
modifier icons)
* Tweaked the outliner somewhat, so that instead of just showing a
generic 'object' icon for all objects, it shows 'object type' icons,
per object type. This makes the outliner a lot more useful for browsing
at a glance - a huge row of identical 'object' icons doesn't really
give much useful information. See here:

Notifier system upgrade, based on Brecht's doc.
Implementation notes:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers#Implementation
In short: let's try to strictly communicate in a notifier what happened.
The listeners then can act themselves. It also means that a frame-changed
notifier doesn't send out redraws, the editors themselves can decide.
* API and usage is basically the same still.
* Panels were moved to region level. I first thought of keeping them at area
level, but having them at region level it's simpler to handle events and do
drawing, and also to integrate with view2d. They can still become area level
overlapping regions, if we make a floating (or docked) region that can
contain panels.
* Added back a few panels from the scene buttons for testing.
Issues still:
* The view2d handling and alignment refresh of panels is not correct yet in the
buttons window.
* I did not yet bring back the block handlers system. It was basically a system
that stored which panel was open and where the events for that panel would go.
Just a few functions, but not sure how it fits in 2.5.
* There was a case where dragging panels would not properly remove the window
level handler, but could not redo anymore even though I don't think I fixed
it.
* Some text in the panels goes past the end of the button, that is due to the
checkmark button drawing, not related to this commit.
Other UI code changes:
* Renamed interface.h to interface_intern.h for consistency.
* Fixed some issues with freeing of blocks when they changed due to context.
* uiDrawBlock now takes a context pointer (mostly for block drawextra).
