The problem was that wmPushMatrix/wmOrtho/.. and similar functions did not
work well for offscreen rendering. It would have been possible to make a
fake subwindow for this, but I decided to just remove this extra layer as
it does not seem to have much purpose and has been quite confusing when
trying to fix other bugs. The relevant matrices are already stored in
RegionView3D so there will be no increase in calls to glGetFloat, which may
have been a performance reason to use this system in the past.
set the draw method to triple buffer or overlap depending on the
configuration. Ideally I could get all cases working well with triple
buffer but it's hard in practice. At the moment there are two cases
that use overlap instead:
* opensource ATI drives on linux
* windows software renderer
Also added a utility function to check GPU device/os/driver.
view, and be stuck there permantenly when leaving the region. Now the
button interaction is cancelled when starting a modal operator, not too
happy about this, but couldn't think of another way to detect this well.
* Clearly labelled the way that the scrollbar hiding works. Also see the report comments for an overview
* Added another pair of flags for another one of the cases in which scrollbars should also get ignored; when the entire contents of the view are visible, a pair of flags is now set in the view2d data (instead of for the scrollers tempdata only) for detecting this case too
* Fixed the potential for scrollbars without zoom handles shown to have those handles still considered. This still happened in the User Preferences window, but has now been disabled.

These changes still don't solve the bug though. Currently after the scrollbar operator passes through, the Outliner's activate-selection operators still fail to start.
This commit introduces a few cleanups and tweaks to the way that timecodes (i.e. the timing indications used instead of frame numbers) get displayed.
1. Custom Spacing of TimeCodes/Gridlines
Made the minimum number of pixels between gridlines/timecode indications a user-preference, instead of being a hardcoded constant. This allows to set the spacing tighter/looser than the defaults, and is also used for the other changes.
2. Default timecode display style, (now named 'minimal') uses '+' as the delimeter for the sub-second frames. This hopefully makes it a bit clearer what those values represent, as opposed to the '!', which can sometimes look too much like a colon.
3. Added various timecode display styles as user-preference. - These include always displaying full SMPTE, to showing milliseconds instead of frams for sub-second times, and also an option to just show the times as seconds only.
- When changing the timecode style, the spacing setting is automatically modified so that the timecodes are spaced far apart enough so that they won't clash (under most circumstances). This automatic modification is only done if the spacing is too tight for the style being set.
4. Unified the code for generating timecode strings between the View2D scrollbar drawing and the current frame indicator drawing.
- Icons for brushes disabled List Box to work (paint buttons)
- Mouse-release in secondary Blender windows didn't get registered
in window where mouse-press initiated.
And fixed annoyance: adding image strip makes it 25 frames long, so
you can drag and extend it easily.
numbers for negative influences (as opposed to old 3-state button)
but the ui range was only set to 0,1.
Changed the defaults to -1,1 and added a shortcut - pressing minus
key while the mouse is over a number field or slider will make it negative.
Various internal fixes, also additional feature - can drag on the histogram to change scale
(0 key to reset).
Also fix [#20844] Color balance node (lift freeze)
Now the compositing node tree will update on frame change if any of the
nodes are animated.
This doesn't work for playback (i.e. alt a), that's better off waiting until we
have some kind of frame caching system.
* The Lift/Gamma/Gain formula previously was incorrect, fixed this and
removed conversions - now the RNA values are the same as what goes into
the formula.
* Because of this, added the ability for the Value slider to map to a wider range
than 0.0-1.0. The black/white gradient remains the same, in this case just
indicating darker/brighter rather than absolute colour values. Also added ability
for color wheels to be locked at full brightness (useful for this case, where the
color value itself is dark).
* Added an alternate formula - offset/power/slope (asc-cdl). This fits the standard
Color Decision List formula, here for compatibility with other systems, though
default Lift/Gamma/Gain is easier to use and gives nicer results.
Blender too now! :)
** Drag works as follows:
- drag-able items are defined by the standard interface ui toolkit
- each button can get this feature, via uiButSetDragXXX(but, ...).
There are calls to define drag-able images, ID blocks, RNA paths,
file paths, and so on. By default you drag an icon, exceptionally
an ImBuf
- Drag items are registered centrally in the WM, it allows more drag
items simultaneous too, but not implemented
** Drop works as follows:
- On mouse release, and if drag items exist in the WM, it converts
the mouse event to an EVT_DROP type. This event then gets the full
drag info as customdata
- drop regions are defined with WM_dropbox_add(), similar to keymaps
you can make a "drop map" this way, which become 'drop map handlers'
in the queues.
- next to that the UI kit handles some common button types (like
accepting ID or names) to be catching a drop event too.
- Every "drop box" has two callbacks:
- poll() = check if the event drag data is relevant for this box
- copy() = fill in custom properties in the dropbox to initialize
an operator
- The dropbox handler then calls its standard Operator with its
dropbox properties.
** Currently implemented
Drag items:
- ID icons in browse buttons
- ID icons in context menu of properties region
- ID icons in outliner and rna viewer
- FileBrowser icons
- FileBrowser preview images
Drag-able icons are subtly visualized by making them brighter a bit
on mouse-over. In case the icon is a button or UI element too (most
cases), the drag-able feature will make the item react to
mouse-release instead of mouse-press.
Drop options:
- UI buttons: ID and text buttons (paste name)
- View3d: Object ID drop copies object
- View3d: Material ID drop assigns to object under cursor
- View3d: Image ID drop assigns to object UV texture under cursor
- Sequencer: Path drop will add either Image or Movie strip
- Image window: Path drop will open image
** Drag and drop Notes:
- Dropping into another Blender window (from same application) works
too. I've added code that passes on mousemoves and clicks to other
windows, without activating them though. This does make using multi-window
Blender a bit friendler.
- Dropping a file path to an image, is not the same as dropping an
Image ID... keep this in mind. Sequencer for example wants paths to
be dropped, textures in 3d window wants an Image ID.
- Although drop boxes could be defined via Python, I suggest they're
part of the UI and editor design (= how we want an editor to work), and
not default offered configurable like keymaps.
- At the moment only one item can be dragged at a time. This is for
several reasons.... For one, Blender doesn't have a well defined
uniform way to define "what is selected" (files, outliner items, etc).
Secondly there's potential conflicts on what todo when you drop mixed
drag sets on spots. All undefined stuff... nice for later.
- Example to bypass the above: a collection of images that form a strip,
should be represented in filewindow as a single sequence anyway.
This then will fit well and gets handled neatly by design.
- Another option to check is to allow multiple options per drop... it
could show the operator as a sort of menu, allowing arrow or scrollwheel
to choose. For time being I'd prefer to try to design a singular drop
though, just offer only one drop action per data type on given spots.
- What does work already, but a tad slow, is to use a function that
detects an object (type) under cursor, so a drag item's option can be
further refined (like drop object on object = parent). (disabled)
** More notes
- Added saving for Region layouts (like split points for toolbar)
- Label buttons now handle mouse over
- File list: added full path entry for drop feature.
- Filesel bugfix: wm_operator_exec() got called there and fully handled,
while WM event code tried same. Added new OPERATOR_HANDLED flag for this.
Maybe python needs it too?
- Cocoa: added window move event, so multi-win setups work OK (didnt save).
- Interface_handlers.c: removed win->active
- Severe area copy bug: area handlers were not set to NULL
- Filesel bugfix: next/prev folder list was not copied on area copies
** Leftover todos
- Cocoa windows seem to hang on cases still... needs check
- Cocoa 'draw overlap' swap doesn't work
- Cocoa window loses focus permanently on using Spotlight
(for these reasons, makefile building has Carbon as default atm)
- ListView templates in UI cannot become dragged yet, needs review...
it consists of two overlapping UI elements, preventing handling icon clicks.
- There's already Ghost library code to handle dropping from OS
into Blender window. I've noticed this code is unfinished for Macs, but
seems to be complete for Windows. Needs test... currently, an external
drop event will print in console when succesfully delivered to Blender's WM.
Made the RMB menus for manipulating shortcuts a bit more robust (only dealing with mouse
clicks/key events, rather than all tweaks/timers/etc) and added ability to add key shortcuts for
transform tools from the RMB menu.
levels, child particles, and shadow/SSS/AO quality.. Now also works on what
is displayed in the 3d view instead of only rendering, see panel in the scene
properties.
Most file changes were to make scene available in the isDisabled modifier
callback function.
Pushed limits for Graph Editor view extents to proper limits, and fixed clamping used in View2D code which was preventing height of View2D viewports from getting below 1.0
Fix [#20794] Can't save my file by pressing "Enter" button
- removed the ability to activate a text field by pressing enter when the mouse is over it. This wasn't that practical and now allows the convenient 2.4 behaviour in the file selector filename field, of pressing enter twice to save.
Rotations are now stored internally as radians, while exposing degrees in the UI -
in the graph editor and UI controls. This is done in two areas:
1) Using the unit system to convert RNA data to display as degrees in the UI controls
2) FCurves now use degrees for rotation, so you can edit in the graph editor what
you see in the UI.
All rotation data is consistently accessible in DNA and RNA as radians, degrees are only
used for the UI controls and graph editor.
This commit includes conversions will convert old files (stored data and also fcurve data)
to the new units, hopefully everything should go smoothly!
Part of this also changes a few properties that were hard-coded as degrees before (such
as IK pole angle and brush texture rotation) to also use the same consistent system of
radians (dna/rna) and degrees (ui).
Thanks to Joshua for hints and review here too.
Between the datablock filtering options and the auto-snapping menu in the headers of Animation Editors, there is a new toggle for enabling this new feature (only when there are groups in the scene). Enabling this, a field to enter/select a group in the scene to filter with, will appear beside it.
This feature has been added to make it easier to manage animating multiple character shots in Durian.
By assigning the rigs of several bandits to a single group, or Sintel and her staff to another group, or Sintel and the guardians to another group, and so on, it is possible to filter the animation data shown in the editors to a useful subset of the total motion in the scene.
This makes it easier to retime or edit the motions of one set of characters and their props without affecting the motions of other no-related objects. The downside is that there is a bit more setup work required upfront, but that's probably a small price to pay for some groupings that may be useful in other ways too later (perhaps for compositing or lighting work).
This patch by Guillaume Lecocq (lguillaume) adds user preference settings for setting the playback frame-rate and delay between captured frames for the screencasting feature.

I've made a few tweaks for a few minor issues
- Made DNA vars for these settings shorts instead of ints, reducing the number of unnecessary extra pad vars
- Added version patching to ensure that these settings are initialised by default
- Made tooltips for the settings more descriptive
Was very quick to do, now re-aquainted with node editor.
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/hue_correct_node.jpg
Todo: modes for affecting hue and value on the vertical axis as well as just saturation - or if an enterprising coder wants to give it a go, let me know and
I can help :)
similar to sequence editor.
--> http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/color_balance_node.jpg
Also added 0 key (zero key) shortcut when mouse is over a button, to reset it to its default value.
Same as the RMB menu ->Reset to Default, except for color wheels, it only resets the hue/sat/value
components that that widget affects.
Peter/Xavier: The existing color balance code can generate NaNs (fractional power of a negative),
which causes havoc along the image pipeline. I added a check in the node code to prevent this.
Still plenty of potential for lots of better colour correction tools in the compositor, just needs time...
