- 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.
Added "Extend" flag to border select operators for editors:
- UV Editor
- Sequencer
- NLA
- Info Space
- Graph Editor
- File Browser
- Clip Editor
- Action Editor
- Channels and markers regions
Can be used for custom keymaps.
Reviewed behaviour of selection operators, and decided that ultimately, it's
better if select left/right/column didn't change the channel selections at all.
This is because with the highlighting of the active curve nowadays, it's a bit
distracting to suddenly lose track of it after performing these operations, when
you may have been trying to select all of the keyframes on that curve for
further tweaking.

No need to deselect all channels when doing the select left/right operator,
since we don't replace the selection afterwards with anything useful. This would
be a problem when the "Only Show Selected" option is enabled (as it is by
default), as this results in the curves being worked on disappearing from view.
F-Curves though will still get deselected as a result of the code to deselect
keyframes. Will need to review whether this is still a good idea (original
intention was so that only curves with keyframes selected would remain
selected).
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
* Removed list-expanders for Materials, Textures, and Particles. So
instead of:
Object
Materials
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
we now have
Object
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
This makes it faster+easier to get to these items. If you don't want
to see all of these, you can still use the data-block filters from the
header to hide these.
* Internal cleanup - removed "owner" and "ownertype" settings from
bAnimListElem. The purpose of these was muddled, and more of a hassle
to maintain than doing anything useful - it was only really used for
the stuff above.
* Removed need for "sa->spacedata.first" casts all over the show for
animation editor tools which needed access to editor data. This can
now be retrieved directly.
mouse coords would with cont. grab would wrap at short.
use mouse coords as int rather then short.
this problem still happens on linux because of XTranslateCoordinates
- Pose Propagate and Pose Sliding tools now work in the same way as
Pose Library previewing, with regards to selections. If some bones are
selected, then only those will be affected. But if no bones are
selected, then the whole rig gets affected.
- Added a "On Selected Markers" option, which only propagates poses to
frames where there's a selected marker. Animators can combine this
with a "select markers whose name contains..." operator to get an
effective way to manage hand-keyed walk cycles, etc.
* NLA timing was only applied to fcurve keys, but not handles, so strange things happened.
* This time tweaking was missed in selections too, so fcurve handles couldn't be selected properly either if the NLA strip was moved from frame 1.
Selecting graph keys would toggle channel selection if shift was held.
this was annoying when selecting 2+ unselected keys to have the channel change color each click.
Now set the channel based on the selection state of the point, as long as points are being selected the channel will stay selected too.
Animators were having trouble selecting keyframes and their handles when zoomed in extremely. This commit seems to fix these issues, which appear to have resulted from some overflowing ints, which gave out-of-view handles priority quite often.
This was caused by the multi-user data appearing multiple times in the channel list. Now most editing functions filter out duplicates before doing anything to prevent these problems.
Hopefully the additional cost of filtering the entire list an extra time won't be too much of a speed/mem hit...
Early when implementing the Graph Editor in 2.5, a key complaint that was levelled at the old 'IPO Editor' was that it was a constant annoyance that adjacent handles were getting selected in addition to the keyframes, when only the keyframes were intended. I solved this by making this default to only selecting keyframes and ignoring the handles, but this means that it isn't possible to batch move several handles at once.
I've now improved this situation by adding an option to the border select operator (involved using Ctrl-B instead of B) which makes the handles get treated separately (as if they were separate verts, as in 2.4x). The default is still to only select keyframes, to have consistency with the DopeSheet...
Also performed some more renaming work in the code...
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
(A masterclass in killing a bug using a sledgehammer...)
Recoded the way that Graph Editor keyframe selection works, replacing the old penalties + closest vert system with a selection queue.
Perhaps the sensitivity tolerance for picking up when a vert is clicked on is too sensitive now, but this can be fixed easily.
