Added two user preferences for filebrowser:
1. Hide Recent Locations
Requested by Kernon Dillon. Reason: People doing video tutorials might not want to expose the name of other projects they are working on.
2. Open Filebrowser in thumbnail view for images and movies
Requested by Sebastian König at the Blender Conference. Reason: In the past (and most likely still) some corrupt images or movies could crash the filebrowser when generating thumbnails. (crashes in ffmpeg, libtiff, libjpg). While many of those were solved, artists in a production environment might want to use this setting to prevent any crashes.
NOTE: the second setting should probably be set next time we create a new default startup.blend. Until then users need to switch this on manually in the User Preferences.
Both stored the filename of the blend file, but G.sce stored the last opened file.
This will make blender act differently in some cases since a relative path to the last opened file will no longer resolve (which is correct IMHO since that file isnt open and the path might not even be valid anymore).
Tested linking with durian files and rendering to relative paths when no files is loaded however we may need to have some operators give an error if they are used on the default startup.blend.
modified the patch to store the string internally rather then an array of allocated string pointers, less hassle with memory allocation.
changed to use fnmatch, so *.foo is needed (not .foo as with the patch)
Patch by Alexander Kuznetsov
Reported by Chidozie Oku
From patch description:
"
Handler is now released on every exit from File Selector. For example pressing ctrl-up and then changing editor type
to another also releases the handler.
When an area is changed from SPACE_FILE, ED_fileselect_exit is called for clean up. It takes function of freeing folder
list and files (before it was done in cancel or exec functions) because they must be released on every exit anyway.
op!=null means cancel or exec was not executed so a handler was not released. ED_fileselect_exit then releases the handler
without changing screens.
"
Thanks!
For !WIN32 systems the fix was in ED_fileselect_set_params
(basically adding the first folder in the sfile->folders_prev list)
For WIN32:
I talked with Nathan (Jesterking) and he agreed that the fix in path_util.c was required too. Without that BLI_path_abs was always making WIN32 paths ending with \ to end with \\
(e.g. C:\Blender\ --> C:\Blender\\)
And this was making the folder to fail ISDIR tests.
path -> filepath (for rna and operators, as agreed on with elubie)
path -> data_path (for windowmanager context functions, this was alredy used in many places)
- smooth scrolling to editable button after new directory is created
(for now scrolling starts as soon as the mouse moves back to the file list area, for Matt to check if immediate scrolling is possible)
- fix for autocomplete directory, show first matching part if directory doesn't exist, otherwise won't work for directories starting with the same prefix like textures_walls and textures_grass for example.
[#20854] PROPERTIES STAMP: Rendering stamp flickers in output renders
Blenfont was not thread safe, that is why one thread can change
the font properties (size, dpi, color, etc) at the same time
that the stamp draw on the image, and then the problem.
To make blenfont thread safe I have to change two important things:
1) Every BLF_* function take one argument, the font id.
2) We have two new function to make font "thread safe":
BLF_load_unique
BLF_load_mem_unique
This two function are for case like stamp, that need and own font
that don't share the glyph cache, so can draw without problem
in a different thread.
Why the BLF_*_unique function ?
Because blenfont keep only one copy of a font and keep a list of
"glyph cache". Every glyph cache have size and dpi, so if two
different thread access the same font at the same time, they can
change value and finish with something like the stamp problem.
Why don't remove the glyph cache ?
Because if we do that, we finish with a font object for every size
and dpi, and the stamp is really a special case that happen in
the rendering process, so I really thing is better keep the
glyph cache and make this two new function to handle this
special case.
(When I say "font object" I mean have the same freetype font multiple
times just to have differents size and dpi)
As Matt point we still can have one case that two thread access
the BLF_*_unique function at the same time, but I am looking to
fix this with some class of thread lock.
For now I test and work fine, so if some one found problem, please
let me know.
Campbell I have to change the python api (python/generic/blf_api.c)
to the new syntax, so maybe you can take a look at this.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
- moved global hide_dot to filelist.
- hiding dot files is now included in the filtering of files, which means that for this directory also doesn't have to be read anymore.
- reverted changes of rev. 27491 and related changes in rev. 27523 in favor of a more general abstraction for the different 'file browser modes' with respect to filtering.
While the folder icon was originally planned when in append/link mode, it's easier to distinguish with a blender icon, so the folder icon is now replaced.
Also fixed issue introduced in rev. 27491 where filter settings were incorrectly set when moving out of .blend file again.
#21506 'sort by' while in append/link file browser causes files to disappear
- issue was that the objects were still filtered
- temporary fix until refactoring of the append/link integration
* move own thread handling for thumbnails to WM_jobs
* cleanup of thumbnail creation code
* added function to kill the job, which actually allows thread to terminate gracefully
vc9 projectfiles:
* fixed some missing includes for release target!
Revised external multires file saving. Now it is more manual in that you
have to specify where to save it, like an image file, but still saved at
the same time as the .blend. It would ideally be automatic, but this is
difficult to implement, so for now this should at least be more reliable.
Keymaps are now saveable and configurable from the user preferences, note
that editing one item in a keymap means the whole keymap is now defined by
the user and will not be updated by Blender, an option for syncing might be
added later. The outliner interface is still there, but I will probably
remove it.
There's actually 3 levels now:
* Default builtin key configuration.
* Key configuration loaded from .py file, for configs like Blender 2.4x
or other 3D applications.
* Keymaps edited by the user and saved in .B.blend. These can be saved
to .py files as well to make creating distributable configurations
easier.
Also, user preferences sections were reorganized a bit, now there is:
Interface, Editing, Input, Files and System.
Implementation notes:
* wmKeyConfig was added which represents a key configuration containing
keymaps.
* wmKeymapItem was renamed to wmKeyMapItem for consistency with wmKeyMap.
* Modal maps are not wrapped yet.
* User preferences DNA file reading did not support newdataadr() yet,
added this now for reading keymaps.
* Key configuration related settings are now RNA wrapped.
* is_property_set and is_property_hidden python methods were added.
* The code to draw only visible items was not working, giving slow
performance with many files (bug #19469).
* Fix detailed list display on non-windows, would give overlapping text.
* Fix folders with many files not displaying all items, changed short to
int in various places, was overflowing.
* Recreate layout on area resizes, file view gets out of sync otherwise.
* Workaround for v2d height not being correct with image display due to
scrollers.
* Fix view2d code to compute minimum scroller size, this would make the
scroller go outside of its bounds.
bugfix #1: SpaceFile->files needs to be deleted on exec and cancel of the filebrowser and in init to ensure correct setting of the read function.
bugfix #2: SpaceFile->params needs to be set in file_init otherwise Python can't access params in header ui.
* Fix for space init when loading with pupmenu (without operator) - parameters now get reset
* experimental: made new director operator jump directly into renaming
Fix crash when loading old files with filebrowser UI
Partial Fix for invoking filebrowser via spacetype pupmenu: reset directory in filelist
Make paths relative in 'path' return when requested by 'relative_paths' property in operator
Appending and Linking
* Linking Operator, invokes filebrowser for Append/Link
* Separated the append/link function into three parts:
** BLO_library_append_begin finds main for appending
** BLO_library_append_named_part appends one Object,Group, Material, ...
** BLO_library_append_end actually reads and expands the libraries
NOTE 1:
I also changed the returned properties for the filebrowser operators to the following convention:
"path" - the full path to a file or directory, means what is in directory + filename buttons in filebrowser
"directory" - the content of the directory button in filebrowser
"filename" - the content of the filename button in filebrowser
Usually only path should be required, but in some cases it might be more convenient to retrieve the parts separately.
Ton, Brecht: If you have time to take a look, let me know if anything needs to be fixed.
* Side panels now use list widgets.
* Enabled theme colors for side panel.
* Add button in bookmarks panel.
* Operator panel title now uses operator name.
* For unix, added / to system, and home and desktop to bookmarks.
* For opening fileselect with filter, cleaned up the code a bit,
adding WM_operator_properties_filesel instead of duplicating code.
* Also added filter for all operators calling fileselect, only image
and file open did it before.
* Hide . files by default, and also hide files ending with ~.
* Added back .. (but not .) in the file list, I really missed this.
* File highlight now only happens when you're actually over a file,
instead staying after you move the mouse away.
* Fix some redraw/refresh issues.
