Auto save is now working again in 2.5. It will also remember now what
the location of the original file was when recovering it, so that
library links still work and saving the restored file does not save to
the temp directory. There is also a new Recover Auto Save operator
which will open the filebrowser in the temp directory and show the
auto saved .blends.
Implemenation Notes:
* Timer storage was moved from window to windowmanager, so we can have
windowmanager level timers too now, doesn't make sense to have
autosave timer attached to a particular window.
* FileGlobal now has a filename field storing where the file was saved.
Note that this is only used when loading a file through the recover
operators, regular file read doesn't use it, so copying the quit.blend
manually over the original file will still work as expected.
* Jobs timer no longer uses operator now, this seems more like an
internal thing, changing keymaps should not make it possible to break
the jobs manager.
* Autosave is postponed by 10 seconds when a modal operator is running,
e.g. transform or file browsing.
* Moved setting G.sce in setup_app_data before depsgraph updates, these
can use the filename for pointcaches.
a system crash and other issues on ATI/Apple, due to a buggy driver
(similar issues reported for other OpenGL applications). For now, work
around it by not using non-power-of-two textures on this combination.
* Screen level regions created for menus are now a separate
CTX_wm_menu in the context, so they don't interfere with
existing regions.
* Fix context in popup menus to always come from the area
and region the popup was opened from.
* Removed some unused context stuff: tasks and reports.
The places that were using context reports were using it
wrong anyway.
* Fix F6 closing immediately after editing a button, by
making uiBlockSetFlag not clear existing flags anymore.
* Don't use ":" in boolean X/Y/Z buttons.
* Fix using enter key for selecting item in a submenu.
* Fix some non working buttons in nodes.
* Fix memory leak when using glsl.
* Change triple buffer proxy test a bit, hopefully this succeeds
on more cards now.
Notes:
* So far, only size mode ported and tested, still strength and rotation to do
* Brought this back for sculptmode first, still to do are particle edit, vpaint, wpaint, texpaint, and I guess image paint?
* Changed the wm paint cursor slightly, to take a customdata pointer.
* Still need to bring back brush texture display in the cursor
- wm draw method is now initialized correct when reading older
files, but the SDNA bug causing the problem is still unsolved.
is due to // char pad[8]; not being recognized as commented.
- triple buffer proxy texture test follows spec better now,
was disabling triple buffer unnecessarily on some drivers.
- some cmake compile fixes related to sequencer pthread usage
and removed bad level calls lib for player.
- show outliner header buttons in oops mode as well until that
can be switched in the UI.
- fix region data free issue for tooltips
- warning fixes
* Triple Buffer is now more complete:
- Proper handling of window resize, duplicate, etc.
- It now uses 3x3 textures (or less) if the power of two sizes
do not match well. That still has a worst case wast of 23.4%,
but better than 300%.
- It can also use the ARB/NV/EXT_texture_rectangle extension
now, which may be supported on hardware that does not support
ARB_texture_non_power_of_two.
- Gesture, menu and brushe redraws now require no redraws at all
from the area regions. So even on a high poly scene just moving
the paint cursor or opening a menu should be fast.
* Testing can be done by setting the "Window Draw Method" in the
User Preferences in the outliner. "Overlap" is still default,
since "Triple Buffer" has not been tested on computers other than
mine, would like to avoid crashing Blender on startup in case
there is a common bug, but it's ready for testing now.
- For reference "Full" draws the full window each time.
- "Triple Buffer" should work for both swap copy and swap exchange
systems, the latter still need the -E command line option for
"Overlap".
- Resizing and going fullscreen still gives flicker here but no
more than "Full" drawing.
* Partial Redraw was added. ED_region_tag_redraw_partial takes a
rect in window coordinates to define a subarea of the region.
On region draw it will then set glScissor to a smaller area, and
ar->drawrct will always be set to either the partial or full
window rect. The latter can then be used for clipping in the 3D
view or clipping interface drawing. Neither is implemented yet.
* Drawing code from wm_event_system.c split into separate wm_draw.c file.
Now there's 3 different draw methods implemented, not sure what survives
or will be added but is useful for debugging.
* Draw All: redraws everything each time, for reference.
* Draw Overlap All: what the code did before this commit, only draw
regions marked for redraw, and anything that overlaps them.
* Triple Buffer: copies/retores all area regions into a texture, and
blits that before drawing. Menus, brushes, gestures, etc are redrawn
always on top of that.
Currently "Draw Overlap All" is set hardcoded to be used still. Triple
Buffer code is not complete, it doesn't handle window resize yet. Cards
that don't support non power of two textures can need quite large
textures as well, this could be split into multiple smaller ones.
