* fix for autosave location -> shouldn't use BLI_gethome anymore
* this frees BLI_gethome of having to emulate the local->user->system search path and can now be truly considered as 'home/default location for .blend files'
* removed setting the default G.sce from read_history, was out of context there.
* fix for creating user dir, leftover from previous commit.
jesterKing, please review -> if there are any issues I will fix or revert.
What happens is that blender looks for a directory "python" in the same
place as the executable for local installations, but that also means when
you have /usr/bin/blender it will look for /usr/bin/python, which is an
executable. Now it checks if it is actually a directory and not a file.
separate define for the user and system blender directory name,
on Linux the directories should be named /usr/share/blender and ~/.blender.
Platform maintainers should still check if that's ok.
For user config and data files, first check the 'local' location (where the executable is located), and only then the actual user locations (whatever the convention for the OSes; $HOME, %APPDATA%, etc).
Update after discussions on IRC:
* operating system specific path retrieval is moved back to GHOST, nothing blender specific here though
* cleaned up path functions a bit to remove #ifdefs
* removed Cocoa from blenlib again
TODO:
* Matt, Damien, please check and correct the functions for Cocoa and Carbon, could only put back existing code but needs adjustment
* finish GHOST_getBinaryDir - this should replace the BLI_where_am_i eventually as well as BLI_getInstallationPath on Windows and get_install_dir for the blenderplayer runtime
* It would probably be nice to define GHOST_getTempDir as well and move those out
* more cleanups...
NOTE:
Things are likely broken for macs
Blender crashes when wiring an image input to an image output in the
compositor (not the same image)
The string to keep the full path was usign FILE_MAXDIR, when
has to be both, FILE_MAXDIR + FILE_MAXFILE (240, like FILE_MAX).
broke when including the blend path in the modules filename.
- new function BLI_path_basename(), matches pythons os.path.basename().
replace a number of cases where BLI_split_dirfile was being used to get the filename only.
would only happen when the names of the path and the relative location matched which isnt likely but happened today when Soenke somehow made a file link to its self.
tile cache code in imbuf, but it is not hooked up to the render engine.
Imbuf module: some small refactoring and removing a lot of unused or old code
(about 6.5k lines).
* Added a ImFileType struct with callbacks to make adding an file format type,
or making changes to the API easier.
* Move imbuf init/exit code into IMB_init()/IMB_exit() functions.
* Increased mipmap levels from 10 to 20, you run into this limit already with
a 2k image.
* Removed hamx, amiga, anim5 format support.
* Removed colormap saving, only simple colormap code now for reading tga.
* Removed gen_dynlibtiff.py, editing this is almost as much work as just
editing the code directly.
* Functions removed that were only used for sequencer plugin API:
IMB_anim_nextpic, IMB_clever_double, IMB_antialias, IMB_gamwarp,
IMB_scalefieldImBuf, IMB_scalefastfieldImBuf, IMB_onethird, IMB_halflace,
IMB_dit0, IMB_dit2, IMB_cspace
* Write metadata info into OpenEXR images. Can be viewed with the command
line utility 'exrheader'
For the image tile cache code, see this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Imaging/ImageTileCache
* removed code that could lead to Blender writing in the Windows directory - is very old cruft and doesn't work on recent versions of Windows anymore and rightly so :)
unrelated changes that ended up being more trouble to commit separate...
- removed BLI_split_dirfile(), was nasty, occasionaly modifying the source string, it could create directories and used the $CWD in some cases. was only used in 2 places in filesel.c, if this gives problems can address without bringing back this function.
renamed BLI_split_dirfile_basic --> BLI_split_dirfile
- view3d_operator_needs_opengl was being called for offscreen render when it wasnt needed.
rename BKE_get_image_export_path() to BKE_rebase_path() and take a filename arg rather then an image.
obj export file copy was also not working because of a missing import.
- added an option to BLI_convertstringframe and BLI_convertstringframe_range to add digits if not found.
- removed BLI_convertstringframe where its obviously not needed - such as loading movies and sounds.
* added renamed files in revision 25337
* renamed BLI_util.h -> BLI_path_util.h for consistency
* cleanup of #includes: removed BLI_blenlib.h in favour of direct includes of the needed headerfiles in a few places.
* removed debug print in sequencer.c
* added missing include in blenkernel/blender.c -> bad dependency, needs to be fixed still
