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…
Issue was caused by starting Icon Preview render job from two places:
- Texture buttons for small icon preview
- Properties panel in image editor for large icon of texture
This preview job is starting in suspended mode and if new instance of the same job is
starting, suspended job will be totally stopped. This is normally for cases when you're
changing different settings -- in this case you'd wouldn't want re-render be triggered
on every slide change.
But what we've have with brush preview is that two instances of this job were creating for
large and small icon separately, but because of described policy only one icon was rendered.
If suspended job is getting to be stopped, check if it was started for the same icon
resolution and if not, that resolution will be also rendered in new job.
So it'll be still minimal re-rendering happens, but in cases when job was started from
two places for different icon sizes it'll work just fine.
details
- uses redo stack to get recent settings from.
- adds a flag to IDProperties so RNA_property_is_set() can return false even if the property is exists.
- PROP_SKIP_SAVE option skips these settings from getting reset (as with presets).
This commit extends limit of ID and objects to 64 (it means 63 meaning
characters and 1 for zero-terminator). CustomData layers names are also
extended.
Changed DNA structures and all places where length constants were hardcoded.
All names which are "generating" from ID block should be limited by MAX_ID_NAME-2,
all non-id names now has got own define called MAX_NAME which should be used all
over for non-id names to make further name migration stuff easier.
All name fields in DNA now have comment with constant which corresponds to
hardcoded numeric value which should make it easier to further update this
limits or even switch to non-hardcoded values in DNA.
Special thanks to Campbell who helped figuring out some issues and helped a lot
in finding all cases where hardcoded valued were still used in code.
Both of forwards and backwards compatibility is stored with blender versions newer
than January 5, 2011. Older versions had issue with placing null-terminator to
DNA strings on file load which will lead to some unpredictable behavior or even
crashes.
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.
Bug is caused because of how ui_handle_menu_event works -- it makes quite tricky check
in which direction movement happens depending on button type.
Checked usages for uiItemV and found that it's used in node_editor only, so changed type
of button used there, so ui_handle_menu_event works would detect right direction of
movement.
ended up having to add a new pointer into the uiBlock (which I'd rather have avoided), but setting the uiLayoutSetContextPointer(..) was complicated to properly use for submenus and popus.
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).

- use TRUE/FALSE rather than 1/0
- WM_operator_properties_create_ptr rather than WM_operator_properties_create since the pointers available.
- remove redundant strlen()
- 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.
in graph editor > channel menu. Problem was these did not inherit operator
execution context correctly.
Fix found by Sergey, also needed to fix logic operators which were not working
when invoked instead of executed.
- operator strings were doing undo pushes (in fileselector text for example), this is dumb since the operators themselves handle undo.
- interface code checks rna props are arrays rather then checking the array length.
- disable properties window pin undoing.
- sequencer refresh was calling undo, disable since this is clearnign global data not handled by undo.
- added commented out code for drawing mesh vertex index/key index, useful for debugging shapekey - hook issyes.
added _prop suffix to ui functions which take a prop rather then a propname, may change this later since its not that nice but for gsoc branches this keeps existing UI functions working the same.
