- moved do_history into WM_write_file after successful write of .blend@ temporary file
- Added new file flag, to avoid writing history on writing the startup.blend, autosave files and undo.
Thanks Campbell, Brecht for review!
* Windows installer not working for non-admin users and multiple users
* Addon scripts not installing next to user configuration
* Portable install not being taken into account in all places
The main problem was the windows installer was installing system scripts in
AppData next to the user configuration directory, which is not shared between
users. Now these are installed in ProgramFiles, and only addon scripts added
by the users go to AppData.
On all platforms, addon scripts were sometimes getting installed between
system scripts, because the scripts folder in the executable directory was
given precedence over the user configuration folder, that is no longer done
now. So addons now behave like user configuration, they are preserved even
if you download a newer build of the same blender version.
If you have an installation of 2.57 on windows, the addon install location
will not change until we do the version bump to 2.58, to avoid conflicts with
the existing the installed 2.57 version.
The old behavior of giving precedence to the local folder was done to support
portable install, where all configuration is written to the local folder. This
is now implemented differently: if and only if a "config" folder exists in the
local folder, portable install will be assumed, and files will only be written
to that local folder.
- rename 'name', 'dir' --> 'filepath' where these actually represent a file path to avoid confusion.
- bugfix for possible (but unlikely) uninitialized string.
- remove commented script append function, now we have a python api for this.
Nothing is changed by default but some linux distributions want to have executing python be opt-in.
This keeps the same functionality but disables auto-run from factory settings and in background mode unless its enabled as a command line argument.
This CMake option is marked as advanced and wont show in the regular options list so its less likely to be enabled by people that like to turn everything ON without reading descriptions :)
restore, would not get their dependencies updated when they became visible.
It happend with a shrinkwrap modifier in these reports, but could happen with
other modifiers too.
Now we keep track of which layers have ever been updated since load, and tag
objects on them to be recalculated when they become visible.
- opening a file with blender by passing it as an argument would and loading it once in blender left script auto execute flag in a different state.
- command line args --enable/disable-autoexec were being overridden by the user prefs.
we cant ensure that a requested buffer can be allocated so report opengl errors when failing to allocate the buffer (rather then printing to console).
this is common enough and generic error isn't too helpful to users.
- rename rna collection structs Main prefix to BlendData: eg, MainObjects --> BlendDataObjects
- printing python collection now prints its type (when available)
- renamed shadowed vars in bpy_rna.c.
- when making functions static I also made debugging/test functions static, reverse and add definitions to headers instead.
- modifier code was using sizeof() without knowing the sizeof the array when clearing the modifier type array.
- use BLI_snprintf rather then sprintf where the size of the string is known.
- particle drawing code kept a reference to stack float values (not a problem at the moment but would crash if accessed later).
- operators which reload G.main would crash blender if called from python and then accessed bpy.data.*
- WM_read_homefile_exec was setting the contexts Scene to NULL as a signal for the event system, this didnt work in background mode, crashing when property update functions expected scene to be set.
also minor functional changes
- OBJECT_OT_make_links_data() type property is now assigned to the operator property (so popup menu can find it)
- removing BG image now returns cancelled if no image is removed.
from Alexander Kuznetsov (alexk) with edits.
From the report:
Blender assumed that all files are .blend as retval = 0;
Now retval is initialized as file cannot be open (-1) for gzopen fail and directory case
retval = -2; is defined for not supported formats
This must be assigned before #ifdef WITH_PYTHON because this part can be missing
Finally retval = 0; if it is a .blend file

also made other edits.
- exotic.c's blend header checking was sloppy, didn't check data was actually read, only checked first 4 bytes and had a check for "blend.gz" extension which is unnecessary.
- use defines to help readability for BKE_read_exotic & BKE_read_file return values.
- no need to check for a NULL pointer before calling BKE_reportf(). (will just print to the console)
- print better reports when the file fails to load.
Slightly modified to better fit in architecture (moved to related GHOST SystemPaths)
Thanks to Harley Acheson for the research and for providing the original patch.
Note: I added empty function for X11(Linux) and Mac (Carbon and Cocoa) to be implemented still.
After loading file, the Undo-push happened too early, causing an
undo for the first action to show animated setups wrong.
(material.c: removed old crap)
- OpenGL still render failed when output format was set to Movie.
Now it just doesn't save a file and renders anyway.
- Bone heat weight was missing 'wait cursor'.
- Waitcursor for Mac Cocoa is back! Made all OS's use the same
nice hourglass cursor.
(Note: this violates Mac UI guidelines, we should rely on the
spinning wheel of death instead. Highly disputable that.)
Surprising this wasnt noticed in a much more obvious case:
- Key Location, Move, Rotate, Undo-Rotate >> Resets to keyed location as well.
This was happening because DAG_on_load_update() was called on read_undosave(), flagging 'ob->adt->recalc |= ADT_RECALC_ANIM;'
Fix by adding an option to DAG_on_load_update(), not to recalculate time flags.
- bpy.app.driver_namespace, read-only dictionary, edit in-place.
- reset on file load and new file.
- on errors the namespace used to be reset, this should not be needed.
simple example.
def driverFunc(val):
return val * val
bpy.app.driver_namespace['driverFunc'] = driverFunc
... now all drivers can access this function.
also added note that adjusting bone radius changes the parent bone for connected child bones, and fix typo on failing to read startup.blend (both pointed out by MikeS on IRC)
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.
When using a startup.blend without user prefs (themes etc) saved, Blender
crashed. Added a provision to then fall back to the compiled in startup,
including a print in console.
Issue: in user preferences window, using file selecting caused the
the userpref window to be saved, and not closing.
Reason: design error (by me) in using screen->full tag for denoting
a temporarily screen (like file window). Fixed by using a new
screen->temp variable for it.
System remained unstable though, noticed another issue with freeing
temp screens in wrong places. Seems nice stable now! Will check on
the wiki for relarted issues now.
- use sizeof() in more places.
- fixed some off by 1 bugs copying strings. setting curve font family for instance was 1 char too short.
- replace strncpy and strcpy with BLI_strncpy
Both stored the filename of the blend file, but G.sce stored the last opened file.
This will make blender act differently in some cases since a relative path to the last opened file will no longer resolve (which is correct IMHO since that file isnt open and the path might not even be valid anymore).
Tested linking with durian files and rendering to relative paths when no files is loaded however we may need to have some operators give an error if they are used on the default startup.blend.
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
- 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
