Revised external multires file saving. Now it is more manual in that you
have to specify where to save it, like an image file, but still saved at
the same time as the .blend. It would ideally be automatic, but this is
difficult to implement, so for now this should at least be more reliable.
Basic definition works like a python operator but you derive from "bpy.types.Macro" instead.
Operators are added to the macro after it has been added with "bpy.ops.add_macro" through the class method "define" which takes an operator id and returns an OperatorMacroType (new RNA type) for which properties can then be defined to be passed to the operator when run.
Example: http://blenderartists.org/~theeth/bf/macro.py
Using this system, it should be easy to add an operator to the console that converts selected lines into a macro or even a more generic record macro system.
2. Add action parameter to Select_All_Toggle operators, rename to Select_All.
Options are Toggle (default), Select, Deselect, Invert (same as select swap). This makes it possible to map separate hotkeys for select all and deselect all.
NOTE for Aligorith: I didn't change animation operators for select_all which already had an Invert operator. These should be fixed eventually.
TODO: a better keymap for specifying zoom in or out mapped to LMB and RMB respectively for zoom to border is required. The current behaviour only allows zoom in...
* Now has documentation links and recent files.
* Click on image or outside splash to make it go away.
* Still has old image, new one will be committed later.
Macros now return finished if at least one operator in the macro finished properly. This is done to correctly insert an undo point.
This means that all the macros that combine with transform (extrude, loopcut, rip, duplicate) will correctly insert an undo step when transform is cancelled.
This may result in cursor being grabbed twice (though we don't have any macro that can do this at the moment). If this is a problem, a check can be added.
Make macros work with more than one modal operator and mix of modal and invoke/exec
As a proof, brought back loopcut + edge slide in a single macro operator called Loopcut and Slide, replacing Loopcut as assigned to Ctrl-R.
* Snapping strips now works with the hotkey Shift-S as in the rest of Blender
* Preview Range works in Sequencer now (the operators for setting, clearing, and also drawing)
* Related to the Preview Range for Sequencer, toggling the time-display mode also works
* Preview Range Set operator now works again, after the modal keymaps change for borderselect broke it. Also sends correct notifiers now after bein called.
- more detailed exceptions (always give file:line incase the python exception doesnt)
- fix some errors in the edit docs
editing docs still fails, need to figure out why.
- split into 2 operators: object.make_links_data() & object.make_links_scene since they are quite different.
- added reusable functions RNA_group_itemf & RNA_scene_itemf which can be used for any operator that takes ID data (easy to add more types Mesh, Text etc)
- DummyRNA_NULL_items for dynamic items so each operator need not define its own empty enum.
- use OBJECT_OT_mode_set rather then OBJECT_OT_*_toggle, better for using report output for script input. OBJECT_OT_posemode_toggle and OBJECT_OT_editmode_toggle are called by OBJECT_OT_mode_set.
Using standard 'save' now pops up a filebrowser when the file hasn't been saved before instead of just assuming that the file should be called "untitled.blend" and dumped in the last used directory.
Auto save is now working again in 2.5. It will also remember now what
the location of the original file was when recovering it, so that
library links still work and saving the restored file does not save to
the temp directory. There is also a new Recover Auto Save operator
which will open the filebrowser in the temp directory and show the
auto saved .blends.
Implemenation Notes:
* Timer storage was moved from window to windowmanager, so we can have
windowmanager level timers too now, doesn't make sense to have
autosave timer attached to a particular window.
* FileGlobal now has a filename field storing where the file was saved.
Note that this is only used when loading a file through the recover
operators, regular file read doesn't use it, so copying the quit.blend
manually over the original file will still work as expected.
* Jobs timer no longer uses operator now, this seems more like an
internal thing, changing keymaps should not make it possible to break
the jobs manager.
* Autosave is postponed by 10 seconds when a modal operator is running,
e.g. transform or file browsing.
* Moved setting G.sce in setup_app_data before depsgraph updates, these
can use the filename for pointcaches.
- Shift+F2 was Export DXF, made Logic Editor
- Shift+F4 was data browser, made console
- Shift+F11 was fullscreen in 2.5, changed fullscreen to Alt+F11
added Area.type so RNA can switch the type.
changed extrude, rip and duplicate to disable proportional editing however this gives a different problem now.
Commented in transform.c
// XXX If modal, save settings back in scene
this changes disables the option whenever the macro used used.
