This removes auto-registration, committed by Martin r30961.
Realize this is a contentious topic but Brecht and myself both would rather opt-in registration.
TODO:
- addons need updating.
- class list will be modified to use weakrefs (should have been done for existing system too).
- will move bpy.types.(un)register functions into bpy.utils.(un)register_class, currently including these functions in a type list is internally ugly, scripts which loop over types also need to check for these.
eg:
row.prop_search_self(scene, "active", "keying_sets", text="")
...becomes
row.prop_search(scene.keying_sets, "active", scene, "keying_sets", text="")
This is more flexible since it works for other UI functions too.
scene.active_keying_set --> scene.keying_sets.active
...same for active_uv_texture. active_vertex_color, active_keyconfig,
- move mesh.add_uv_layer() and mesh.add_vertex_color() into their collections
also have them return the newly created layer and dont set the layer active.
uvtex = mesh.uv_layers.new(name)
vcol = mesh.vertex_colors.new(name)
layout.prop_object() --> prop_search().
The internal name is uiItemPointerR, in python this can translate into into an Object, however this is misleading.
It can be confused with a blender Object and uiItemPointerR can also be used for strings.
Ton's commits missed the RNA changes needed to make this work (i.e. the search field was un-defined). This has now been added, and the search field has the 'search eyeglass' icon to make its purpose clearer.
I've also taken this opportunity to restore the search matching flags (i.e. case sensitivity and complete vs partial matches), making these separate toggle options instead. The old searching operator stuff can probably be removed now?
Running scripts directly didnt call the register function, even though this is not essential its good to be able to run a script directly and see changes in the UI.
- remove functions such as operator_int(), operator_enum(), operator_string
this mixed with keyword arguments in a way that made them hard to read.
Instead, have operator() always return properties rather then needing an argument.
- rename prop_pointer() --> prop_object(), pointer is more a C thing.
- missed item_enumR(), rename to prop_enum()
Contributors list isnt used much in our C code so probably its easier if people just use svn blame for this.
Can change if this isnt acceptable but I guessed people didnt care so much since most scripts had no header.
* Driver adding/removing operators in the Outliner now work properly for arrays
* Renamed these operators so that their names are more indicative of how they work (i.e. based on the data in the Outliner that is selected)
* Added a menu labelled 'Edit' in the Datablocks view which gives access to (and includes the hotkeys for) these tools.
