- installing an addon which creates a new script directory didn't add this to the sys.path.
- installing the addon was meant to set the search string to the addon name but was broken.
move calls to the classes register/unregister function into register_class() / unregister_class() and add docs.
also other minor changes:
- remove face sorting keybinding, was Ctrl+Alt+F, this is quite and obscure feature and face order normally doesn't matter, so access from Face menu is enough.
- add commented out call to mesh.validate() in addon template since its useful to correct incomplete meshes during development.
ui/ --> startup/bl_ui
op/ --> startup/bl_operators
scripts/startup/ is now the only auto-loading script dir which gives some speedup for blender loading too.
~/.blender/2.56/scripts/startup works for auto-loading scripts too.
Modified to only do one lookup.
from Martin:
"Basically, what it does is allow you to add register and unregister class methods to rna types, this way you don't have to rely on module register/unregister methods to setup your types properly (and it makes them easier to move around when reorganizing code and easier to understand what a type does when reading code). This is especially nice for PropertyGroup classes that are added as properties to existing types, you can easily see in their register methods where they are added and removed in their unregister method. Obviously, those two methods are optional, so current code still works fine."
- use own OrderedDictMini class, pythons collections.OrderedDict is overkill, 179 sloc. replaced with own, 11 lines.
- remove code which stored the class file & line per RNA subclass, this was useful but would raise its own exception every time to generate a stack trace to get the class info so we could use of the class failed to register. the class stores its module & name which can be enough to find where it was defined.
would stop the entire menu from drawing if they raised an exception.
now print the exception and continue.
Also added a verbose argument for bpy.utils.(un)register_module() to help test whats being registered.
- KeyingSetInfo classes are now collected like Panels, Operators etc so bpy.utils.register_module() can be used.
- move bpy.types.register() to bpy.utils.register_class
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.
- bpy.data.*.load() functions were only accepting UTF-8 paths.
- rna functions/properties now accept byte values rather then strings for file paths.
- bpy.path.resolve_ncase now supports byte objects.
- enabling/disabling no longer prints in the terminal unless in debug mode.
- remove 'header' struct from BLI_storage_types.h, from revision 2 and is not used.
- Add GCC property to guardedalloc to warn if the return value from allocation functions isn't used.
Also added bpy.path.display_name_from_filepath(), since filepaths are not ensured to be utf8.
same as calling: os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(name))[0].encode("utf8", "replace").decode("utf8")
