directory if name was not fully matched
When hitting tab to complete a directory name in the filepath field in the
filebrowser Blender shows a "create new directory?" popup, if the beginning
of directory name typed in the field matches many entries. For example if you
have directories in the open directory called "test123" and "test456", typing
"te", tab would complete up to "test", but ask to create a new folder with the
name "test".
This patch unsets the boolean storing the info about changing filepath if the
folder with the completed name does not exist.

- uiPupMenuBegin was checking for NULL title but would still crash if it were NULL.
- now tag the function as 'nonnull' and remove NULL checks. make sure NULL isnt passed to it.
keys in menus (or tooltips) for properties they are used to toggle/cycle through
Some properties can be toggled using hotkeys via WM_OT_context_* operators, but
these hotkeys aren't really shown anywhere obvious like other hotkeys (i.e.
they're not shown in tooltips or menus). Although it is possible to look these
up in the userprefs/keymaps editor, it is quite tricky doing so, and most users
would just assume that since no shortcut is displayed, there simply isn't one at
all.
This commit introduces a slightly hacky fix which basically amounts to checking
if a property can be set by any of the few operators which are used for this
purpose. In order to keep this from being too sluggish, I've currently limited
this to only working on Editor (e.g. "Show Seconds" in Anim Editors) and
ToolSettings (e.g. "Use Proportional Edit") properties.
There are still some corner cases that would be nice to solve too (i.e. the
Pivot Type enum menu/dropdown should really be able to show the hotkeys which
have been assigned for each of those items, since they're by-and-large quite
hidden and obscure), though being able to show some of these is perhaps better
than not showing any!
* CHARTAB: not needed anymore with improved copy/paste support and text input.
* IDPOIN: replaced by SEARCH_MENU.
* ICONROW/ICONTEXTROW: replaced by RNA enums.
* NUMABS: can use min/max limits instead.
* BUT_TOGDUAL, TOG3, TOGR, SLI: not used in 2.5 interface.
* RNA's editor types enum (space_type_items) has been re-ordered, added icons, and removed internal-only SPACE_EMPTY value, so that it matches the menu.
* Two fixes in code drawing enums as dropdown menu:
** All items were taken into account when computing the number of needed columns, now simple separators (void string items) are ignored.
** Simple separators items were drawn as labels, taking far too much space!
And now translators will be free from that ugly, insane menu-string! :P
Thanks to Brecht for the review.
Fix turned out to remove as much "manual UI" from 3D view header as possible. Mode selector and all transform manipulators/orientations stuff are now RNA-based UI (leaving basically only edit mesh select modes with custom handlers, as they have some quite specific features).
To achieve this, four main modifications were done:
* enum-operator-generated menus are now MENU (i.e. dropdown lists) in headers too.
* All bit-flag enums expanded in ROW buttons now have a handling consistent with e.g. layers, or what we already have for transform manipulators, i.e. clicking select only one element, shift-click to select multiple ones.
* Consequently, the three RNA booleans manipulators flags are merged into a single bit-flag enum (yes, this is also an API change, though I doubt many scripts use it).
* Now the width of enum-based dropdown lists is computed from longest item name in enum, no more from a dummy place holder string (when no label/name is given).
All this allows to remove some code from 3DView/transform areas, that was actually mostly duplicating RNA/operator one.
Also done a few optimizations here and there (among others, do not pass &numitems to RNA_property_enum_items() when you do not need it, saves at least an iteration over enum items to count them).
Many thanks to Brecht for the reviews!
Popup menus in nodes, with nodes outside window boundary, were clipped very badly, even
causing it to fill entire window.
Now the clip code nicely translates the menu horizontally to be in view.
This was caused from using theme shadow setting to clip the popups and a hard-coded value to translate the popup within screen bounds - these values should be the same.
Blender's data link button (typically with menu and searching options)
now has a X icon to clear its contents.
Before you had to click, delete text, enter.
For example:
- Object Parent
- Modifier objects or vertexgroups
This fix saves each user 100 clicks per day, with 100k users
that's 3 billion clicks per year!
When trackpad swipes don't convert to ScrollWheel steps anymore, several hardcoded
wheel events need to support swipe too.
This adds swipe support to:
- Menu item scroll
- Search item scroll
- ALT + number/slider/swatch values
The amount of old style scroll "clicks" is calculated based on how trackad is
being mapped to move a mouse pointer. Move it one widget unit = 1 click.
The swatch option applies trackpad swipe motion in analog way.
- Recoded soft shadow drawing for menus, giving better predictable results
(and round off nicer on top side, was looking bad still)
- Brought it under DPI control
- Added Theme setting to control size and strength for it.
Max size 24 pix:

Tooltips in Blender were not scaling when zooming in/out on UI elements.
(They did follow DPI though, but tooltips were in a 'global' fixed size).
Error was that for tooltips on large scaled popups (like in Node editor)
the drawing was entirely wrong even.
Now tooltips scale correctly, also for fonts.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
