Restored the old Eyedropper tool from the 2.4 colour picker. Now it's an operator,
working nicely using rna properties (fixes#19475 and some todo items)
This ended up being a bit more work than expected, it involved converting the
colour picker to use RNA properties directly, rather than temporary values. This has
several advantages, including being able to type in RGB values greater than 1,
however there are still some redraw issues with sliders.
Also removed the alternate color pickers after this time spent testing, the current one
should be sufficient, or alternatives to the wheel can possibly become preferences
in the current design.
Converting the picker to RNA also made it very trivial to make a cool new
ColorWheel template, which can be embedded in UI layouts. I've enabled it already
in texture/vertex paint brush properties and the sequence editor color correction:

* Now, while rotating a 3D view with MMB held down, you can hold shift to switch to Pan or ctrl to switch to Zoom, without having to let go of MMB. While it sounds simple it makes things really smooth to use and eases repeated presses of MMB. One thing I liked from Max. It's also in the modal key maps, so you can change it to whatever you like.
* A similar thing, when panning a 2D View, you can hold LMB to switch to zoom, effectively making MMB+LMB zoom. This is not very useful on a mouse, but it's very nice for tablet use, being able to navigate with one hand (side switch+stylus press) very easily. This one's from Fusion.
Most likely will not compile for others, I'd appreciate any build errors
and missing files reports (I can never seem to get everything committed
and all the build systems working without help).
Porting over the sculpt/multires tools was a breeze,
thanks goes to brecht for a design that didn't exclude
ngons and was easy to port.
Note that I've not tested externally-backed multires
file support yet. Also, I still need to write version
patch code for some cases.
Some notes:
* Like trunk, topological changes don't update multires right,
so e.g. subdivide will duplicate multires data on the new faces,
instead of subdividing it.
* If you set the debug value (ctrl-alt-d) to 1 it'll turn on
my experiments in speeding up sculpting on higher-res multires
meshes (but note it makes partial redraw not completely accurate).
* There's a bug where you have to go through editmode to get out
of sculpt mode, not sure if I inherited or created this myself.
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
* utility function BLI_findstring to avoid listbase lookup loops everywhere.
eg:
ListBase *lb= objects= &CTX_data_main(C)->object;
Object *ob= BLI_findstring(lb, name, offsetof(ID, name) + 2);
* made some more math functions use const's, (fix warnings I made in previous commits)
* Reorganised the (template) drawing code for modifiers, removing some old/commented out code, and grouping related sets of info to draw
* Separated the render/realtime/editmode toggles into a separate row below the modifier name so that the layout is less compressed with narrow properties windows (i.e. on the default setup).
Now, there are preset brushes made for each tool type (eg. for sculpt mode, Grab,
Draw, Inflate, etc), and the recommended method for changing sculpt tools is to
change between Brushes. The shortcut keys for changing between tools have
now been changed to change between named brushes - the G key in sculpt
mode now changes to any brush named 'Grab'.
The advantages of this are:
* Changing between brushes remembers the strength/size/texture etc settings for
each brush. This means that for example, you can draw with a strong textured
Clay brush, but then switch quickly to a weaker, untextured Smooth brush,
without having to re-do your settings each time.
* You can now add your own custom shortcut keys to your own custom brushes -
just add a keymap entry similar to the existing ones, that references your own
custom brush names.
To bring over these new default brushes to an existing B.blend setup, just
append them in from the new B.blend in svn.
* Mesh data/settings can now be animated. It is not recommended that geometry be animated directly, but other settings such as autosmooth, etc. can be...
* Code cleanups for depsgraph, making sure that drivers get included for all object data types.
* Moved 'change shortcut' (previously directly RMB on menu items) to a context-menu item, and added Remove Shortcut and Add Shortcut. This is all available now in a RMB context menu for operator buttons and menu entries.
* Renamed a bunch of key maps to be consistent with UI names, and human-readable. Since these key map names are now being directly used in the UI for people to find things, they should be understandable and in plain language.
This renaming may break some older saved key map setups - though previously saved .b25.blends should convert over ok. Exported .py files may need some find/replacing - in this commit check the changes in resources.c to see what's changed.
Until we have proper multi-object editing, this adds a Copy To Selected
option to the right mouse button menu for Object and Bone properties, to
copy the value from the active object to the selected objects.
Also includes some implementation changes to reset to default operator.
Added a new operator for properties which resets RNA-based settings to their 'default' values, as defined in RNA. This currently only works for floats, ints, enums, and booleans (strings and pointers still need to be implemented).
The current extensions to the RNA API that I've made here seem a bit excessive, and can be toned down if necessary. In short, I've just added accessor functions for the default-values of the property definitions.
For this to be really useful, many properties in RNA will need to get defaults defined, since the current defaults for quite a few properties tested were less than ideal.
Now the key maps are displayed in a hierarchical list which you can
browse through. As well as in the main list, modal key maps are also
available in context, for example, if you unfold out a Transform key
map item, you'll be able to fold out and access its modal key map underneath.
More work to do, including search, better operator browsing, etc.
Still need to revise the ordering/hierarchy and clean up naming to be
consistent too, it's a bit of an 'evolved' mess right now.
Thanks to theeth for some initial work here too.
* Added a User-Pref option for the "XYZ to RGB" colour-mode setting for new F-Curves to compliment the one used for Keying Sets. With this option enabled, the builtin Keying Sets also can obey this option.
* Made all places that were previously manually checking the flags for keyframing to use a standard API function to do this now.
* Fixed bug introduced earlier today in commit 25353 by reverting the changes to keyingsets.c. Forgot that delete_keyframe doesn't handle do the "entire array" hack with array_index = -1
* Fixed bug with the insert-keyframe code for the array_index = -1 case, where too many channels were being keyed (i.e. an imaginary channel was often keyed in addition to the valid ones)
Also put a bit more logic for guessing player paths based on my system.
If anyone can make this a bit more clever/bulletproof, please feel free to
get involved in it, it's all python!
* Don't show Apply as Shape for particle modifiers.
* Fix particles disappearing after exiting particle mode.
* Fix free edit not redrawing the 3d view.
* Fix use of uninitialized variable in layers template.
Brecht, I added a Layout template function, template_dopesheet_filter -> uiTemplateDopeSheetFilter, this creates the group of buttons for filtering ID type (and some other options) for animation editors (Graph, NLA and Dopesheet). I hope this is all right, if not, we can move this maybe to a .py file as a function for reuse.
* Make snap ctrl instead of shift
* Only enable snapping after moving a few pixels,
otherwise too easy to do enable this by accident.
* Deselecting points with shift did not work.
After testing and feedback, I've decided to slightly modify the way color
management works internally. While the previous method worked well for
rendering, was a smaller transition and had some advantages over this
new method, it was a bit more ambiguous, and was making things difficult
for other areas such as compositing.
This implementation now considers all color data (with only a couple of
exceptions such as brush colors) to be stored in linear RGB color space,
rather than sRGB as previously. This brings it in line with Nuke, which also
operates this way, quite successfully. Color swatches, pickers, color ramp
display are now gamma corrected to display gamma so you can see what
you're doing, but the numbers themselves are considered linear. This
makes understanding blending modes more clear (a 0.5 value on overlay
will not change the result now) as well as making color swatches act more
predictably in the compositor, however bringing over color values from
applications like photoshop or gimp, that operate in a gamma space,
will give identical results.
This commit will convert over existing files saved by earlier 2.5 versions to
work generally the same, though there may be some slight differences with
things like textures. Now that we're set on changing other areas of shading,
this won't be too disruptive overall.
I've made a diagram explaining the pipeline here:

and some docs here:

* Moved more of 3dview header to python
* Fixed the layout of the ui layers template to show the correct number of buttons
* Added support for layer icons (active layer, used layers)
