The main reason to have this is so renders can be scripted to write to a specific file without having to do annoying tricks like set a dummy start/end frame range, render an animation and work out the current frame image will be written to, then rename after rendering.
Also made some 'char *' args into 'const char *'
- fixed this error 7 different functions (deform groups, uv layers & similar).
- support for numbers over 999.
- renamed splitIDname() to BLI_split_name_num(), moved to BLI_path_utils
now addon path is created using the same path functions and selecting where to save the startup.blend
also made some minor changes to path handling funcs.
replace some long duplicated, ifdef'd if statements for image extension.
- new function: BLI_testextensie_array(), can take an array of extensions.
- define extension arrays: imb_ext_image, imb_ext_movie, imb_ext_sound - we could have more of these.
- removed amiga extensions iff and lbm
* rename BLI_gethome to BLI_getDefaultDocumentFolder to better reflect how this function is used
* replaced BLI_gethome with getenv("HOME") on Linux and Mac where it retrieves location of bookmarks that are inserted as system bookmarks. BLI_gethome was a thin wrapper around these and in this case the user's home directory is what is actually wanted.
* fix for autosave location -> shouldn't use BLI_gethome anymore
* this frees BLI_gethome of having to emulate the local->user->system search path and can now be truly considered as 'home/default location for .blend files'
* removed setting the default G.sce from read_history, was out of context there.
* fix for creating user dir, leftover from previous commit.
jesterKing, please review -> if there are any issues I will fix or revert.
separate define for the user and system blender directory name,
on Linux the directories should be named /usr/share/blender and ~/.blender.
Platform maintainers should still check if that's ok.
Update after discussions on IRC:
* operating system specific path retrieval is moved back to GHOST, nothing blender specific here though
* cleaned up path functions a bit to remove #ifdefs
* removed Cocoa from blenlib again
TODO:
* Matt, Damien, please check and correct the functions for Cocoa and Carbon, could only put back existing code but needs adjustment
* finish GHOST_getBinaryDir - this should replace the BLI_where_am_i eventually as well as BLI_getInstallationPath on Windows and get_install_dir for the blenderplayer runtime
* It would probably be nice to define GHOST_getTempDir as well and move those out
* more cleanups...
NOTE:
Things are likely broken for macs
broke when including the blend path in the modules filename.
- new function BLI_path_basename(), matches pythons os.path.basename().
replace a number of cases where BLI_split_dirfile was being used to get the filename only.
tile cache code in imbuf, but it is not hooked up to the render engine.
Imbuf module: some small refactoring and removing a lot of unused or old code
(about 6.5k lines).
* Added a ImFileType struct with callbacks to make adding an file format type,
or making changes to the API easier.
* Move imbuf init/exit code into IMB_init()/IMB_exit() functions.
* Increased mipmap levels from 10 to 20, you run into this limit already with
a 2k image.
* Removed hamx, amiga, anim5 format support.
* Removed colormap saving, only simple colormap code now for reading tga.
* Removed gen_dynlibtiff.py, editing this is almost as much work as just
editing the code directly.
* Functions removed that were only used for sequencer plugin API:
IMB_anim_nextpic, IMB_clever_double, IMB_antialias, IMB_gamwarp,
IMB_scalefieldImBuf, IMB_scalefastfieldImBuf, IMB_onethird, IMB_halflace,
IMB_dit0, IMB_dit2, IMB_cspace
* Write metadata info into OpenEXR images. Can be viewed with the command
line utility 'exrheader'

unrelated changes that ended up being more trouble to commit separate...
- removed BLI_split_dirfile(), was nasty, occasionaly modifying the source string, it could create directories and used the $CWD in some cases. was only used in 2 places in filesel.c, if this gives problems can address without bringing back this function.
renamed BLI_split_dirfile_basic --> BLI_split_dirfile
- view3d_operator_needs_opengl was being called for offscreen render when it wasnt needed.
rename BKE_get_image_export_path() to BKE_rebase_path() and take a filename arg rather then an image.
obj export file copy was also not working because of a missing import.
- added an option to BLI_convertstringframe and BLI_convertstringframe_range to add digits if not found.
- removed BLI_convertstringframe where its obviously not needed - such as loading movies and sounds.
* added renamed files in revision 25337
* renamed BLI_util.h -> BLI_path_util.h for consistency
* cleanup of #includes: removed BLI_blenlib.h in favour of direct includes of the needed headerfiles in a few places.
* removed debug print in sequencer.c
* added missing include in blenkernel/blender.c -> bad dependency, needs to be fixed still
