Issue is double here:
* Quite a handfull of menu entries actually diverge slightly from their shortcut
counterpart (often one has a prop explicitely set to its default value,
when the other keep it unset).
* Current code was actually basically sending 'is_strict' option into canal,
by doing a second check in `wm_keymap_item_find` setting unset op props
to their default value!
Now, is_strict mostly says one thing: "never consider an unset property as
equal to a set one". Even if set property matches default value. Default values
are not always the same things as unset ones, as demonstrated by this report.
So we are being much stricter now, and also have to check shortcuts and
menu entries definitions actually matches, added some code (triggered by
--debug-wm option) that prints when it finds some (potential) issue.
There is one exception though - Macros. Those have their whole prop set defined
in menu entries currently, this shall probably not be the case, but is another issue,
so for now for macro operators we always do non-strict comparison (pretty much
the same as previously, in this case).
Also 'enum' operators are still tricky. Currently, shortcut extraction relies on
`ot->prop` being set, so even if this is not aboslutely needed anymore (when defining
UI you can specify an arbitrary enum property by name), `ot->prop` shall be set.
Note fix commit for mismatches between menu entries and shortcuts is needed next.
This was initially added for a later support of making the automatic File
Browser fullscreen optional. As this idea was rejected for now (D1037) it
doesn't really make sense to leave these things in.
Adds support for stacked fullscreens. This basically means, if a user opens a
temporary fullscreen mode, such as the File Browser or the Image Editor render
view, from a different fullscreen, the "Back to Previous" function or the other
ways to escape those temporary fullscreens don't return to the split screen
layout but to the previous fullscreen he has been in.
I already committed something similar (f7e844570f) but that was only
supposed as a fix, it didn't work for the "Back to Previous" operator and the
implementation wasn't really reusable. This one looks a bit nicer + makes some
older hacks unnecessary :)
Issue is that world shader compilation and loading may take long so we
just draw file previews with premultiplied background. Should create the
old familiar transparent background files.
Thanks to Sergey for figuring out the issue.
Both were maked as temp, but used often.
Now pass uiFontStyle to both, rename UI_draw_string to UI_fontstyle_draw_simple,
since its a variant of UI_fontstyle_draw that skips shadow, align... etc.
This reverts commit fbc2909cef.
The reason for revert is that the commit made it so bpy.data is not set to any
of the new main (on both file open and file link/append) which basically totally
broke versioning code.
Needs some smarter solution there.
This was sort of a chicken<->egg dilemma, because after a maximized screen was restored, the screen handling used region
coordinates which weren't updated yet. I'm still not sure why, but this resulted in area coords that go beond INT_MAX.
To fix this I made sure the first screen handling after restoring a maximized screen is skipped, so that it's delayed to
the next call of wm_event_do_handlers (since this is called from main loop there shouldn't be a noticable delay or any
handling glitches).
This way addons and render engines which needs to do versioning code on files will properly
do it when something is being linked or appended to the scene. Previously that callback was
only called for the local main only, making it impossible to do tweaks on linking.
There was a hard-coded check to exit the fileselector when restoring a view.
Now, when space types differ, flag areas as temporary and switch back to the previous type only in this case.
This means you can select a file while having a file-selector space type open, and not loose it every time.
This time, it's a dedicated operator user has to run before saving the file.
And it recursively check all IDs linked from each scene, therefore rendering
materials etc. previews using a scene they are used in.
Note the renderengine issue is not completely addressed this way
(existing code for icon previews seems to ignore completely other engines,
and IDs not linked anywhere (fake-user ones) will be rendered with current scene's engine
as fallback, also you can get a material linked to an hidden object in a scene, etc.).

Sorry about that, should have checked this stuff more, with Internal material
renders are very fast (unoticable), but with Cycles it can take (a lot of) time,
like several minutes or more.
Will probably fall back to a dedicated operator users will have to fire themselves
when they want previews in their files.
This partial reverts rBd800cffaf10cb7, but fixes T40435 (Background label is not
redrawn).
It now isn't possible to use single modifier keys as shortcuts anymore. But this
is something that's not really useful at all, since it breaks more than it allows.
Initially it was moved to allow setting keymaps of python defined menus
in C but looks like it breaks macro definition in python.
Thanks to Julian for tracking this down. It should fix T42485
Actually, append/link *is* converted/updated, issue here is IPO-to-FCurves
code is not called from our do_version code, but later, directly from BKE_blender's
setup_app_data. This is bad but not easily fixed it seems, so for now
keep a warning in this case.
thanks Sergey for the headup.

We are still not finished, as this is only the first part of the
implementaion, but there's more to come!
After double checking the sequencer code, there doesn't seem to be any reason to
exclude these from the sequencer previews. This makes it possible to use the
sequencer to non-destructively chain together difference Grease Pencil animated
shots together without having to render each image sequence first, allowing for
a smoother workflow.
Just in case the initial assumption isn't entirely correct, I've put in place
an extra arg to the relevant functions which can be hooked up to a suitable
option on the scene strip later to turn this on/off as needed.
This merge-commit brings in a number of new features and workflow/UI improvements for
working with Grease Pencil. While these were originally targetted at improving
the workflow for creating 3D storyboards in Blender using the Grease Pencil,
many of these changes should also prove useful in other workflows too.
The main highlights here are:
1) It is now possible to edit Grease Pencil strokes
- Use D Tab, or toggle the "Enable Editing" toggles in the Toolbar/Properties regions
to enter "Stroke Edit Mode". In this mode, many common editing tools will
operate on Grease Pencil stroke points instead.
- Tools implemented include Select, Select All/Border/Circle/Linked/More/Less,
Grab, Rotate, Scale, Bend, Shear, To Sphere, Mirror, Duplicate, Delete.
- Proportional Editing works when using the transform tools
2) Grease Pencil stroke settings can now be animated
NOTE: Currently drivers don't work, but if time allows, this may still be
added before the release.
3) Strokes can be drawn with "filled" interiors, using a separate set of
colour/opacity settings to the ones used for the lines themselves.
This makes use of OpenGL filled polys, which has the limitation of only
being able to fill convex shapes. Some artifacts may be visible on concave
shapes (e.g. pacman's mouth will be overdrawn)
4) "Volumetric Strokes" - An alternative drawing technique for stroke drawing
has been added which draws strokes as a series of screen-aligned discs.
While this was originally a partial experimental technique at getting better
quality 3D lines, the effects possible using this technique were interesting
enough to warrant making this a dedicated feature. Best results when partial
opacity and large stroke widths are used.
5) Improved Onion Skinning Support
- Different colours can be selected for the before/after ghosts. To do so,
enable the "colour wheel" toggle beside the Onion Skinning toggle, and set
the colours accordingly.
- Different numbers of ghosts can be shown before/after the current frame
6) Grease Pencil datablocks are now attached to the scene by default instead of
the active object.
- For a long time, the object-attachment has proved to be quite problematic
for users to keep track of. Now that this is done at scene level, it is
easier for most users to use.
- An exception for old files (and for any addons which may benefit from object
attachment instead), is that if the active object has a Grease Pencil datablock,
that will be used instead.
- It is not currently possible to choose object-attachment from the UI, but
it is simple to do this from the console instead, by doing:
context.active_object.grease_pencil = bpy.data.grease_pencil["blah"]
7) Various UI Cleanups
- The layers UI has been cleaned up to use a list instead of the nested-panels
design. Apart from saving space, this is also much nicer to look at now.
- The UI code is now all defined in Python. To support this, it has been necessary
to add some new context properties to make it easier to access these settings.
e.g. "gpencil_data" for the datablock
"active_gpencil_layer" and "active_gpencil_frame" for active data,
"editable_gpencil_strokes" for the strokes that can be edited
- The "stroke placement/alignment" settings (previously "Drawing Settings" at the
bottom of the Grease Pencil panel in the Properties Region) is now located in
the toolbar. These were more toolsettings than properties for how GPencil got drawn.
- "Use Sketching Sessions" has been renamed "Continuous Drawing", as per a
suggestion for an earlier discussion on developer.blender.org
- By default, the painting operator will wait for a mouse button to be pressed
before it starts creating the stroke. This is to make it easier to include
this operator in various toolbars/menus/etc. To get it immediately starting
(as when you hold down DKEy to draw), set "wait_for_input" to False.
- GPencil Layers can be rearranged in the "Grease Pencil" mode of the Action Editor
- Toolbar panels have been added to all the other editors which support these.
8) Pie menus for quick-access to tools
A set of experimental pie menus has been included for quick access to many
tools and settings. It is not necessary to use these to get things done,
but they have been designed to help make certain common tasks easier.
- Ctrl-D = The main pie menu. Reveals tools in a context sensitive and
spatially stable manner.
- D Q = "Quick Settings" pie. This allows quick access to the active
layer's settings. Notably, colours, thickness, and turning
onion skinning on/off.
This patch includes the work done in the terrible consequencer branch
that hasn't been merged to master minus a few controversial and WIP
stuff, like strip parenting, new sequence data structs and cuddly
widgets.
What is included:
* Strip extensions only when slipping. It can very easily be made an
option but with a few strips with overlapping durations it makes view
too crowded and difficult to make out.
* Threaded waveform loading + code that restores waveforms on undo (not
used though, since sound_load recreates everything. There's a patch for
review D876)
* Toggle to enable backdrop in the strip sequence editor
* Toggle to easily turn on/off waveform display
* Snapping during transform on sequence boundaries. Snapping to start or
end of selection depends on position of mouse when invoking the operator
* Snapping of timeline indicator in sequencer to strip boundaries. To
use just press and hold ctrl while dragging.
