Each space had separate operators, duplicating logic.
Use RNA properties instead so adding the ability to toggle other
region types (floating redo region for eg) doesn't need to have an
extra operator per space type.
It's also nicer to show a check-box for something which can be toggled.
Confusing to call a menu a panel when subclasses need to define
panel specific variables.
Avoid having bl_ui depend on bl_operator module too.
Since this isn't an operator, add utils modules for shared types.
In keeping with convention to match code & UI naming.
- No user visible changes.
- Include 'menu' in the name since context is an overloaded term.
- While a few of these are panels, from a user perspective they are
still context menus.
Also remove special case when no items are selected,
since this only has one or two menu items, one being the add menu
which can be better accessed from the header or add shortcut.
If the no-selection case is to have it's own alternate menu - it should
be more complete before enabling.
- This extends context menus, checking the selection in some cases
to conditionally show operators.
- When nothing is selected, add, paste .. etc are added to the menu.
- Use columns when mixed mesh modes are used (vert/edge/face).
- Move armature naming operators into sub-menu.
See D4043
* Move all copy & paste operators into the menus. There was no real reason
why these particular operators should be in the header and not in the menus,
like all other operators
* Move ‘Update Automatically’ toggle from UV/Image Editor header into menu.
* Move the pin toggle next to the ID blocks, because it is related.
* Move OpenGL render from sequence header into View menu.
* Sequence editor display mode and channels are now not expanded.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
Color and Properties panels as sub-panels of Node. Collapse Node properties
by default, since they are already in the node itself and in material properties.
Moves the preset into a menu for the panel header, so it can be changed
without opening the panel and takes up less space. Two remaining issues:
* For long lists the add new preset button can be scrolled off screen.
* We should support showing the name of the chosen preset in the panel
header, but the current preset system does not support detecting which
preset is used.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D3366
- Added flexible separators to
Clip, Graph, Dopesheet, Image, Node, Timeline, 3D View.
- Added graying out for Proportional Editing
menus to avoid popping when right-aligned.
- Slightly re-arranged some controls,
so they can be on correct side of the separators.
Patch by @billreynish
D3458 by @billreynish w/ edits.
- Context menu for dope-sheet, graph, image & node editors.
- Add type to contenxt menu header.
- Access with W-Key.
- Change UV-editor weld key binding to Shift-W.
Both the scene and workspace had an active view layer, and it was confusing
which settings were being used or displayed where. Now we always have one,
so there is no mismatch.
The "View Layers" tab in the properties editor is now "View Layer", no longer
showing a list of layers. Instead view layers can be added and removed with
the workspace view layer selector. They are also listed and selectable in the
outliner.
Single layer rendering uses the active view layer from the workspace.
This fixes bugs where the wrong active view layer was used, but more places
remain that are wrong and are now using the first view layer in the scene.
These are all marked with BKE_view_layer_context_active_PLACEHOLDER.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
