BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Code was trying to hide properties by name that may not exist.
Check if it was actually found and add 'files' to the filter,
since it is what WM_OT_studio_lights_install uses.
== Main Features/Changes for Users
* Add horizontal bar at top of all non-temp windows, consisting out of two horizontal sub-bars.
* Upper sub-bar contains global menus (File, Render, etc.), tabs for workspaces and scene selector.
* Lower sub-bar contains object mode selector, screen-layout and render-layer selector. Later operator and/or tool settings will be placed here.
* Individual sections of the topbar are individually scrollable.
* Workspace tabs can be double- or ctrl-clicked for renaming and contain 'x' icon for deleting.
* Top-bar should scale nicely with DPI.
* The lower half of the top-bar can be hided by dragging the lower top-bar edge up. Better hiding options are planned (e.g. hide in fullscreen modes).
* Info editors at the top of the window and using the full window width with be replaced by the top-bar.
* In fullscreen modes, no more info editor is added on top, the top-bar replaces it.
== Technical Features/Changes
* Adds initial support for global areas
A global area is part of the window, not part of the regular screen-layout.
I've added a macro iterator to iterate over both, global and screen-layout level areas. When iterating over areas, from now on developers should always consider if they have to include global areas.
* Adds a TOPBAR editor type
The editor type is hidden in the UI editor type menu.
* Adds a variation of the ID template to display IDs as tab buttons (template_ID_tabs in BPY)
* Does various changes to RNA button creation code to improve their appearance in the horizontal top-bar.
* Adds support for dynamically sized regions. That is, regions that scale automatically to the layout bounds.
The code for this is currently a big hack (it's based on drawing the UI multiple times). This should definitely be improved.
* Adds a template for displaying operator properties optimized for the top-bar. This will probably change a lot still and is in fact disabled in code.
Since the final top-bar design depends a lot on other 2.8 designs (mainly tool-system and workspaces), we decided to not show the operator or tool settings in the top-bar for now. That means most of the lower sub-bar is empty for the time being.
NOTE: Top-bar or global area data is not written to files or SDNA. They are simply added to the window when opening Blender or reading a file. This allows us doing changes to the top-bar without having to care for compatibility.
== ToDo's
It's a bit hard to predict all the ToDo's here are the known main ones:
* Add options for the new active-tool system and for operator redo to the topbar.
* Automatically hide the top-bar in fullscreen modes.
* General visual polish.
* Top-bar drag & drop support (WIP in temp-tab_drag_drop).
* Improve dynamic regions (should also fix some layout glitches).
* Make internal terminology consistent.
* Enable topbar file writing once design is more advanced.
* Address TODO's and XXX's in code :)
Thanks @brecht for the review! And @sergey for the complaining ;)
Differential Revision: D2758
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
Bookmarks are now editable (i.e. you can rename them, and reorder them).
They are also listed in regular UILists, so you can filter/sort them as usual too.
Also, FileBrowser 'T' side area is changed to something similar to 3DView one,
in this case because we need op panel to remain at the bottom, and later because
we'll more than likely need tabs here!
Thanks to Campbell and Sergey for reviews.

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
commit 6f97e194e58aab38d351c796bf7bb6abca33f5f9
Author: Bastien Montagne <montagne29@wanadoo.fr>

Code cleanup: Move some uiBut->flag to uiBut->drawflag, make those flags anonymous enums.
Summary:
Make some room in but->flag (I did not add another flag, we already have drawflag, which was nearly not used up till now).
Note: I’m not sure whether REDALERT (and perhaps even DISABLED?) should not go to but->drawflag as well...

* FIX: selecting bookmark or recent file caused UNDO push, also caused issue with the 'Open' and 'Cancel' buttons being grayed out.
Reported by Sergey Sharybin in IRC, many thanks.
* Separated bookmarks managed by the OS (System Bookmarks) and bookmarks managed by Blender (Bookmarks).
* Added user pref to hide (or show) system bookmarks to allow users doing a video tutorial for example to hide their private system bookmarks
This feature should help especially MAC users who reported excessively long list of bookmarks which were added to Blender.
further fixes for 'RECENT' files panel in filebrowser:
* Also add the recent folder at the head if it is not yet in the list
* since we now insert at the head, we need to remove the skipping of the first entries if there are too many. Now correctly leaving the last elements unwritten.
* Another consequence of inserting at the head is that we don't want to reverse the list in the recent panel anymore - got rid of the corresponding code.
*i18n: panel title of current tool in 3D view & File windows are now translated, as well a redo (F3) menu.
*MESH_OT_faces_select_linked_flat & MESH_OT_edges_select_sharp: use ANGLE RNA prop for sharpness, and fix tip of the later op.
In fact, most "UI special cases" are not well translated, currently. :/ This affects especially the "Properties" panels. This commit should address problems in Graph editors, and 3D View (but probably not yet all of them). Yet it already adds more than 100 new messages (and fixes translated drawing of more).
Also done some style edits…
details:
- setting format options from python isnt possible anymore since this isnt exposed via op->properties, python should use image.save() function instead.
- image save UI now hides 'Relative' option when copy is selected since it has no effect.
- default image depth is set to 8 or more if the image has no float buffer, otherwise its set to 32 or less.
other fixes:
- image new was adding an image with a filepath set to "untitled", if this file happened to exist in the current directory a save on the generated image would overwrite it, now initialize to empty path.
- BKE_ftype_to_imtype was returning an invalid value if ftype==0.
Previous state:
Right now, there are "memories" of the "old" (less than a month!) translation way:
* A few remaining calls to BLF_gettext() (only UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip should be used).
* The _() macro still also calls BLF_gettext()!
New state:
Here are the changes made by the patch:
* Removing the no more needed _() macro.
* Removing most N_() and _() calls, only keeping the few needed ones (i.e. strings that are in no other way findable by xgettext and/or update_msg script).
* Defining in UI_interface.h IFACE_() and TIP_() macros (resp. for UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip).
* Replacing all calls to BLF_gettext by relevant IFACE_ or TIP_ one.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_iface by IFACE_.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_tooltip by TIP_.
All this somewhat clarifies and simplifies the code.
On the bf-translations scripts side, this only implies adding IFACE_ and TIP_ as detection markers for xgettext.
It also allows to reduce POTFILES.in quite notably (only 20 files remaining in it).
Please also have a look at those pages:

- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
