=========================
Documentation: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Psy-Fi/UV_Tools
Major features include:
*16 bit image support in viewport
*Subsurf aware unwrapping
*Smart Stitch(snap/rotate islands, preview, middlepoint/endpoint stitching)
*Seams from islands tool (marks seams and sharp, depending on settings)
*Uv Sculpting(Grab/Pinch/Rotate)
All tools are complete apart from stitching that is considered stable but with an extra edge mode under development(will be in soc-2011-onion-uv-tools).
Diff Keymaps
User edited keymaps now no longer override the builtin keymaps entirely, but
rather save only the difference and reapply those changes. This means they can
stay better in sync when the builtin keymaps change. The diff/patch algorithm
is not perfect, but better for the common case where only a few items are changed
rather than entire keymaps The main weakness is that if a builtin keymap item
changes, user modification of that item may need to be redone in some cases.
Keymap Editor
The most noticeable change here is that there is no longer an "Edit" button for
keymaps, all are editable immediately, but a "Restore" buttons shows for keymaps
and items that have been edited. Shortcuts for addons can also be edited in the
keymap editor.
Addons
Addons now should only modify the new addon keyconfiguration, the keymap items
there will be added to the builtin ones for handling events, and not get lost
when starting new files. Example code of register/unregister:
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new("3D View", space_type="VIEW_3D")
km.keymap_items.new('my.operator', 'ESC', 'PRESS')
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps["3D View"]
km.keymap_items.remove(km.keymap_items["my.operator"])
Compatibility
The changes made are not forward compatible, i.e. if you save user preferences
with newer versions, older versions will not have key configuration changes that
were made.
Using RMB on menus to change hotkeys was broken.
- the input button was on a weird place outside menu, assign
would close pulldown, so you had to reopen to check
- ESC didn't close the button, but assigned ESC as hotkey.
This key is a protected key, and always should be escaping.
- Worst bug: if you used this on a 'user keymap' it removed
all entries from the map...
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
Ton will work on moving the File menu out of the Info space before release.
notes.
- reply Operator isn't working anymore.
- UI for reports is commented out so its not mixed with the file menu.
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
- function renames, move WM functions into collections wm.add_keymap() --> wm.keymaps.new()
note: new is used for named items in a collection, which return the result.
- Action.get_frame_range() is now a readonly property 'frame_range', floats rather then ints.
This commit adds a few more execution contexts for operators, given the increasing tendency for some special regiontypes to exist within areas that must have their own set of special operators.
Examples of these include the "channel" operators in the Animation Editors (i.e. those in the 'Channels' menu), and the "Fit to Preview Window" operator for the Sequencer.
Previously, operators such as these would not function when clicked on from the menus, and they would not show the hotkeys they were mapped to.
Also, fixed a few operator definitions in the Animation Editors which were missing ot->prop defines. This meant that some hotkeys (mainly selection) were shown incorrectly in the menus.
account in quad split 3d view. Now WM_OP_EXEC/INVOKE_REGION_WIN
context stays in the current region if it is already a region
of type window, so the operator gets executed in the right context.
- Keyconfig are now marked as user_defined when it is the case
- Import keyconfig operator: select an exported keyconfig .py file, copies it to the scripts folder (keep the original copy if wanted, default True), imports and select as active config. The active keyconfig is stored in the user default file, so that still has to be saved after import.
- Remove keyconfig operator and button next to the keyconfig name (poll False if not user_defined). Removes the keyconfig from the list and deletes the file from the folder.
Remaining bug: The file is copied in the user defined script folder (if present) or the /scripts/ui folder. The problem is that it might be imported before operators defined in python are imported themselves. One solution would be to use a separate folder for keyconfigs that is imported after all others.
This is set on keymap item operator properties and macro definition operator properties to make them non-contextual (since the context at definition time is most likely not the same then at execution time, it's better to have all options visible).
This removes some more errors in keymap export and import.
This commit also sanitize some enum item function, making sure they can cope with null context and have usable defaults in that case.
Made the RMB menus for manipulating shortcuts a bit more robust (only dealing with mouse
clicks/key events, rather than all tweaks/timers/etc) and added ability to add key shortcuts for
transform tools from the RMB menu.
* 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.
