Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
quit.blend.
This will use a slower file write if an object is in edit or sculpt
mode.
Autosaving will explicitly not be supported to keep it fast.
Added a tooltip warning.
Added a special notifier now NC_WM|ND_UNDO in order to deal with such cases
and now compositor/image will refresh when undo happens.
There are much more ways to fail compo to update the resul, like undoing
while it's not visible and so, but as mont29 said -- let's at least fix
obvious crap in the workflow.
Turned out there were several issues in handling of scale parameter by numinput.
Fixed that by factorizing more some code in common with 'usual' numbuttons eval code
(new `bUnit_getScaleUnit()` helper will return valid scaled value, depending on
given system and type).
Now, numinput behaves as expected - using default unit amended by scale in case no unit is given
(i.e. entering '20' with a scale of 0.01 will give you 20cm, and '20cm' as well!).
Turned out to be a clean/fix up of modal bevel tool, percentage mode handling was broken,
numinput handling was broken, etc.
Also added a way to switch between bevel types (modes) with M key, and tweaked a bit
numinput code to return early in case of 'char' event with ctrl modifier.
Commented out the 'no zero' protection of scaling transforms for numinput.
Issue is, once an axis has null scale, you can't regrow it from transform code
(you have to directly edit the scale property). This is not ideal, but getting
good behavior in this case is hairy...
Yet, when using numinput, you type precise values, so if you want to set it to zero,
set it to zero. User is assumed responsible, we should avoid too much 'invisible magic'
when handling precise inputs. ;)
Note: an idea for possible future feature would be to have an 'absolute' mode for numinput
(allowing to type in real value, not factors).
objects.
Flush edits for all objects, not just the active one. Here we might want
to disallow leaving an object on sculpt mode when selecting another, but
this works, no need to enforce it.
This is needed for popups to chance state once activated,
currently it makes use of operators `check` callback, after values are modified,
as the file selector does already.
Issue here is that upon entering sculpt mode, the mesh (and the object
mode) is stored in global undo. Now made the code similar to edit mode,
but since we don't really have any operator to push, this is just
ignored for now.
I have tried just disabling the sculpt toggle operator undo flag but
this didn't work due to the nature recursive of the operator calls
Undoing nodes that do not belong to the current object will cause the
saved bmesh log entry to be reverted instead. This entry can belong to
another object though.
This is easy to fix by enforcing name matching (this was borrowed by
edit mode but can definitely be improved) between current object name
and undo node name and deleting older entries.
However there are complications. Deleting dyntopo entries in this way
can leave a brush stroke as first dyntopo log entry. This can present
issues if we attempt to delete that entry since it's deleted mesh
elements may now have had their ids (which would still be valid at the
time) cleaned up. This can result in crashing if we attempt to resculpt
on the mesh. To fix this I have disabled releasing the deleted entries.
This entanglement between bm_log and undo is quite volatile but I hope
the system works better now.
Also minor cleanup, fix unneeded check warning
Sculpt mode drawing fails after deleting a subsurf modifier
in sculpt mode and undoing.
This was quite difficult to spot. Main cause was that mesh data was not
synchronized properly between undo and sculpt code because we generated
a pbvh on derivedmesh invalidation without really refreshing the rest of
the data. This could result in undo and drawing operating on different
data.
To solve this and avoid bad level calls I had to move quite some code
around. Crazyspace is now moved to blenkernel, as did some sculpt calls
that make sure sculpt data are properly refreshed.
Issue fixed by:
* Not having constant width for all columns, but adapt each to its content's width;
* Adapting undo's menu height to undo list length (so that we never have more than three columns).
It is still possible to get issues in extreme cases (small screen, high DPI size,
long op names everywhere...), but this should now be rare corner cases.
Also fixes a minor glitch with undo menu (first column had one item less than the others...).
Ways how it was resetting its values (backspace) was far from satisfaying. Now, e.g. when scaling, it will reset at 1 (or whatever mouse-value it was before entering numinput), instead of some ugly 0.0 value.
Implementation details:
* Values passed to applyNumInput() are stored as default ones (val_org), if it is not EDITED.
* applyNumInput() returns a boolean saying whether it actually set values or not.
* When backspace hits its ultimate step (where it clears all EDITED flags and reset all default values),
it sets a temp FAKE_EDITED flag that will be used to apply one last time values of numinput
(so that default values actually get applied!).
There are important things to note here for code using numinput:
* Values passed to applyNumInput() should be valid and are stored as default ones (val_org), if it is not EDITED.
* bool returned by applyNumInput should be used to decide whether to apply numinput-specific post-process to data.
* *Once applyNumInput has been called*, hasNumInput returns a valid value to decide whether to use numinput as drawstr source or not.
Those two steps have to be separated (so do not use a common call to hasNumInput() to do both in the same time!).
Was using wire or black in many places, this color is used for cursor,
camera guides, transform helper lines. So its possible to have a dark
background with light overlay color.
Patch D331 by Brita, with some edits.
history operator (Ctrl + Alt + Z).
This will only show paint operations now while in an image paint mode.
The caveat is that user can delete previous paint operations too (even
on images not on the canvas currently) so it needs some care. This is
consistent with regular undo behaviour though.
Sculpting also suffers from lack of Undo history support, this will be
added in a separate commit.
This allows to get the same "quickies" as in previous (2.69) code, (XYZ, -/, etc.), yet keeping nice non-conflicting new stuff like cursor navigation or copy/paste.
You can switch to full mode hitting '=', and back to simple mode hitting 'ctrl ='.
