Using standard 'save' now pops up a filebrowser when the file hasn't been saved before instead of just assuming that the file should be called "untitled.blend" and dumped in the last used directory.
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.
- Shift+F2 was Export DXF, made Logic Editor
- Shift+F4 was data browser, made console
- Shift+F11 was fullscreen in 2.5, changed fullscreen to Alt+F11
added Area.type so RNA can switch the type.
changed extrude, rip and duplicate to disable proportional editing however this gives a different problem now.
Commented in transform.c
// XXX If modal, save settings back in scene
this changes disables the option whenever the macro used used.
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.
This calls a registered menu as a popup so we can reuse header menus , currently used for Node editor and Sequencer add menu (Shift+A), can be used for toolbox too.
With mouse events event->val started as 0/1 for press/release but later the tweak function made LMB and RMB zero value into KM_RELEASE, somehow MMB didnt get used by the tweak function so was left at 0 and the modal keymap function failed when comparing MMB Mouse ups.
now initialize event->val as KM_PRESS/KM_RELEASE
- rename WM_OT_ten_timer to WM_OT_redraw_timer
- added iterations argument to run more then 10 times (10 is default still)
- use report api rather then always calling a popup directly.
- added a new test that draws every region without swapping.
- dont show the info popup when operators are called from python.
- operators called from python now print reports, useful with the interactive console.
eg.
>>> bpy.ops.wm.redraw_timer(type='DRAW_WIN', iterations=300)
Info: 300 x Draw Window: 4168.56 ms, average: 13.8952
issues like Shift+R (repeat last) not giving capital R in the text
editor. There is also new modal handler list at the window level,
and the API call will always add it to that one now, since modal
handlers were not used in other levels.
The order used to be:
* window modal + keymap
* area modal + keymap
* region modal + keymap
Now it is:
* window modal
* region keymap
* area keymap
* window keymap
their handlers based on notifiers, which is simpler and more
reliable.
This fixes for example editmode or uv edit keymaps not working
when creating a new 3dview or image space.
* Added separate menu items for Link and Append.
* Change some OPERATOR_FINISHED to OPERATOR_CANCELLED.
* Remove some IPO specific hacks, these are no longer ID blocks,
so not necessary to take into account.
* Some comment and code formatting tweaks.
* #19338: Crash when using Convert operator
Uninitialised var (basact)
* Spacebar when in 3D-View EditMode for Text gets overridden by Search Menu. I've tried adding a fix there, but it doesn't seem to work. Woraround for now is shift-space for entering text.
* Fixed some compiled warnings in wm_operators.c about naming of var named 'main'
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.
* layout.itemR now has icon_only option to show only icon
in e.g. enums buttons, for uv editor header.
* Automatic key shortcuts in menus now show the shortcut even if
operator properties don't match. Not sure this will work well
everywhere, but seems to be working ok for now.
* Open recent now show shorter filenames instead of the whole
file path.
* Tweak object Duplicate menu item.
* Added RNA subtype for layers.
* Shift-click works again.
* uiItemR can now also handle armature/bone layers.
* Also makes Move to Layer popup work as expected.
Moved to modern OS standards for opening, saving, copying, pasting, cutting (text), new document, undo and redo.
For Mac users, Cmd is used in addition to the Ctrl-based shortcuts.
These changes are made according to an agreement among developers on IRC.
This commit some of the many bugs here (it's still not perfect now, but much better than it was):
* Moving in/out of Object, Edit, and Pose Modes for Armatures should now work smoothly. Operators should work nicely in the appropriate modes now (select linked might be a bit tempermental still, since it uses mouse-position).
* Fixed the 'mysterious' memory leaks when changing modes. These were only caused when using the mode switching menu in the 3D-View.
* Went through bullet-proofing some of the operator calling functions against NULL operator id-name strings.
* recent files now just write content of G.recent_files, was adding untitled.blend!
* removed unused and now superfluous code reading the .Bfs file (is done in fsmenu now)
Saving/Loading:
Save - Ctrl S / Cmd S
Save As - Ctrl+Shift S / Cmd+Shift S

New File - Ctrl N / Cmd N
Text:
Copy- Ctrl+C / Cmd+C
Cut- Ctrl+C / Cmd+C
Paste- Ctrl+V / Cmd+V
Select text- Ctrl+A / Cmd+A
Misc:
Repeat Last Op - Ctrl+R / Cmd+R
Render - Ctrl+Return / Cmd+Return
Render Animation- Shift+Ctrl+Return / Shift+Cmd+Return
User Preferences - Ctrl+Comma / Cmd+Comma
Changed the important search menu to Space key.
Old hotkeys are still preserved, at least for now.
* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
* Converted vertex paint to use the new stroke system. Now supports the same smooth stroke and stroke spacing as sculpt mode.
* Refactored the paint cursor a bit, just sculpt for now but other modes soon.
* A couple warning fixes
to show properties.
* One problem is that we currently have 3 different kinds of
property layouts, single column, two column, and single column
with text inside button, probably best to reduce this..
* Last operator panel now shows operator name in the header.
* Fix extrude operator to not include transform properties
anymore, since they are already there now due to macro system.
* Added Context access to RNA_property_as_string. This is needed for doing a Python call to the object mode set operator, which has a dynamic enum property that needs context.
Operator goodies!
--- Macro operators
Operators now can consist of multiple operators. Such a macro operator
is identical and behaves identical to other opererators. Macros can
also be constructed of macros even! Currently only hardcoded macros are
implemented, this to solve combined operators such as 'add duplicate' or
'extrude' (both want a transform appended).
Usage is simple:
- WM_operatortype_append_macro() : add new operatortype, name, flags
- WM_operatortype_macro_define() : add existing operator to macro
(Note: macro_define will also allow properties to be set, doesnt work
right now)
On converting the macro wmOperatorType to a real operator, it makes a
list of all operators, and the standard macro callbacks (exec, invoke,
modal, poll) just will use all.
Important note; switching to a modal operator only works as last in the
chain now!
Macros implemented for duplicate, extrude and rip. Tool menu works fine
for it, also the redo hotkey F4 works properly.
--- Operator redo fix
The operators use the undo system to switch back, but this could give
errors if other actions added undo pushes (buttons, outliner). Now the
redo for operator searches back for the correct undo level.
This fixes issues with many redos.
Note for brecht: removed the ED_undo_push for buttons... it was called
on *every* button now, which is probably too much? For example, using
the 'toolbar' redo also caused this...
* 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.
New:
* added filter and display to some operator properties. Now file browser opens showing only .blend files and folders on file->open and on image->open changes to image display and only shows images and movies.
Fixes:
* fixed stupid removal of wrong prototype in last commit
* fixed a few warnings
