There should be no functional changes visible from this change, but this commit
should make it easier to code tools which need to check on tweeakmode status,
by making it easier to figure out which NLA Track contains the strip which
owned the action being edited. (The strip is already saved, so this commit just
adds the track alongside it).
For now there is no version patch for this. The worst that happens is that an
extra refresh is needed in the NLA editor to get these to show up.
To help make it more convenient to edit stashed actions, Shift-Tab
(i.e. holding down the Shift key, which "tabbing" into tweakmode as
usual to edit the action referenced by the active NLA strip) now flags
the NLA Track that the strip occupies as being "solo" too.
This allows you to use the NLA to select a stashed action, then Shift-Tab
to start editing it without any other actions in the NLA stack interfering.
Like the "Next/Previous Layer" tools in the Action Editor, this is designed
to help with checking on stashed actions.
* Do not make Action Stash Tracks or their strips active/selected
* Lock the track to prevent accidental editing/adding of other strips
* Prevent strips from being added into locked tracks by the pushdown operator.
This is mainly to prevent pushdown actions from getting into the stash tracks.
This commit changes the default strip duplication behaviour (Shift-D) so that it will
create a copy of whatever action it uses. Previously, it was very hard, if not impossible
in some cases to create a new copy of an action to start working on in the NLA.
If you want the old behaviour, you'll need to use ALt-D (Linked Duplicates).
(Note: Although the new Shift-D may not be so optimal in all cases, I've decided to go
with this version since it aligns better with the way this works for objects. Doing the
opposite for NLA would just have added to the confusion)
The tooltip seemed to hint that this tool is able to resolve all manner of
gimble-lock situations by untangling the curves (i.e. performing some kind of
equivalent-angles resolution, keeping in mind the nearest situations nearby).
However, this tool currently only performs corrections for the most basic case
when large jump+flip discontinuity artifacts appear in euler rotation curves as
a result of rotation values getting clipped to +/- 180 degrees, which arises
when these rotation curves are the result of baking some physics sim or so.
(Also, fixed an unrelated "replace-all" typo in a comment)
Originally I was thinking of not restoring this functionality (see report for
further details). However, upon rechecking the code, it seems that there was
actually a define set up for this already, but which wasn't actually hooked up
yet. So, this commit basically exposes this option ("Sync Length") which ensures
that when exiting tweak mode on a NLA Strip, that strip instance (and not other
users of the same action) will be updated to include the newly added keyframes.
This option is not enabled by default, and shouldn't really be needed in most
("intended") workflows.
Added four new functions as shortcuts to creating GHashes that use the
standard ptr/str/int/pair hash and compare functions.
GHash *BLI_ghash_ptr_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_str_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_int_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_pair_new(const char *info);
Replaced almost all occurrences of BLI_ghash_new() with one of the
above functions.
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.

Tweaked the behaviour of the overwritting of extrapolation mode so that it is
less destructive when the problems it sets out to fix aren't likely to occur
(namely a top strip blocking everything below it due to extend backwards).
though it initially works
Problem was that in the past it was possible to have multiple strips/tracks
tagged as "active", but now after getting a correct implementation, we can no
longer have that, and thus entering Tweak Mode only works on the last selected
strip.
However this is problematic in cases when you want to tweak the keyframes of
several objects (which may only have a single strip each) in order to get them
to line up with each other. This hack caters for this case (selecting multiple
strips from the same AnimData block is still impossible and insane/illogical and
is not allowed).
This may have implications for some future tools which make assumptions about
certain aspects of NLA state. However, it shouldn't cause too many problems
(hopefully ;)
