* errors in python called operators are raised as errors
* Python defined operators errors are reported as errors (not full traceback yet)
* added BKE_reports_string, same as BKE_reports_print but it returns a string rather then printing it.
* WM_operator_name_call optionally takes an initialized report struct
* Added back deselect all (and invert all) tools for Animation Channels (i.e. channel list in Action Editor).
* Resolved all MSVC warnings (I came across) in View2d code. Also, added a new API method to get the coordinates (in 'view' space) of a listview 'cell' given the row + column the cell is in.
* Tidied up a few comments here and there
* Object has some more properties wrapped, mostly game related.
* Scene frame changes now send a notifier.
* Added functions to create/free operator properties for calling
operators. This also simplifies some duplicated code that did
this. Ideally though this kind of thing should use the properties
pointer provided by buttons and keymap items. Example code:
PointerRNA ptr;
WM_operator_properties_create(&ptr, "SOME_OT_name");
RNA_int_set(&ptr, "value", 42);
WM_operator_name_call(C, "SOME_OT_name", WM_OP_EXEC_DEFAULT, &ptr);
WM_operator_properties_free(&ptr);
* Added support for sending notifiers and updates when setting
RNA properties. Per property, there is a notifier NC_/ND_ flag,
and a function that is called. Currently only used for
Object.loc/rot/size.
* RNA_property_update that does this is not automatically called
in every _set function, it has do be done separate, and is being
done by buttons with RNA data.
* Perhaps for python there could be a trick to accumulate these
flags rather than update each time, though for now the python
RNA code could just do them everytime. Did not add these calls
in the python code yet because it needs context, not sure where
to get that from?
- Made scrollwheel behave uniform for zooming. It uses the UserDef
to map what's in our out. Use keymap entries WHEELINMOUSE and
WHEELOUTMOUSE to trigger this. Also removed the feature to store
in event->val the direction, it was conflicting with KM_ANY.
- Added more default poll callbacks, use for generic ops things
like ED_operator_object_active.
First commit for 2009!
Started of porting of Animation Editor Channels stuff.
This code will be used for both the Action and IPO editors, so any existing code involving this has now been moved to the Animation module.
* Added mouse-click operator for this channels view. Note: the selection stuff currently uses temporary toggling code only (i.e. it only toggles the selection of the channels in the editor, but does not update status of rest of database).
* Fixed bugs in View2D listview functions. Reduced the amount of code needed, and makes the code here simpler.
* Renamed action_edit_keyframes.c to action_edit.c, since channels are not handled there anymore.
* Dopesheet now refreshes correctly when object selection elsewhere changes.
Added methods for easier checking of visiblity/position of items arranged in some regular table format (i.e. columns and/or rows).
Last commit from me for 2008!
* The RNA viewer is now more integrated with the outliner, as
a "Datablocks" view, with a tree structure.
* Still some issues to be solved with persistence, and also
memory usage is problematic when expanding a million vertices
in a mesh for example, though it will not build closed parts
of the tree.
* Added a report list to operator, to which they can report errors and
warnings. When the operator ends, it will display them with a popup. For
python these should become exceptions when calling operators.
* Added a function to make a popup menu from a report list.
* Also added a utility function to prepend a string before the reports to
indicate what they relates to. Also made the report functions used
BLI_dynstr to simplify the code.
* Made file reading and writing report errors to the user again using this
system, also replacing the left over uncommented bad level error() calls.
* now the rounded and round shaded themes use the same drawing backend
* fixed a problem with menu and number button triangles not accounting for buttons zoom
* After several hours of manual dragging and typing the icon file is now
enlarged and completely reorganised logically, rather than scattered
throughout. This should provide a lot more room for growth, and is a
lot easier to work with (also allowing more space for toggle buttons
that require two icon slots next to each other). The icon grid has now
25 x 24 icons - hopefully this might last us for a couple more years :)
Some of the naming of icon defines is a bit ancient and can be cleaned
up a bit further. Other devs, if when bringing spaces back, it's
finding the wrong icon, or missing a define, try and look to see if
it's already existing in the new icon file, or drop me a note and I'll
fix it up.
Note: after these changes, older custom blender 2.4 icon
files won't work and will need to be updated to the new layout.
* Enlarged the icons themselves from 15x16 pixels to 16x16 pixels (icon
designer request). This is a more standard size, and is easier to fit
stuff in proportionally.
* Added a bunch more of jendrzych's icons that weren't added previously
since there wasn't space in the icon file (including a few more
modifier icons)
* Tweaked the outliner somewhat, so that instead of just showing a
generic 'object' icon for all objects, it shows 'object type' icons,
per object type. This makes the outliner a lot more useful for browsing
at a glance - a huge row of identical 'object' icons doesn't really
give much useful information. See here:

Notifier system upgrade, based on Brecht's doc.
Implementation notes:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers#Implementation
In short: let's try to strictly communicate in a notifier what happened.
The listeners then can act themselves. It also means that a frame-changed
notifier doesn't send out redraws, the editors themselves can decide.
Timers: added extra 'event type' argument to call to add a timer:
WM_event_add_window_timer(win, event_type, interval)
This way other timer systems don't generate overhead on the queues.
(button timers were creating unused animation-playback operators)
* API and usage is basically the same still.
* Panels were moved to region level. I first thought of keeping them at area
level, but having them at region level it's simpler to handle events and do
drawing, and also to integrate with view2d. They can still become area level
overlapping regions, if we make a floating (or docked) region that can
contain panels.
* Added back a few panels from the scene buttons for testing.
Issues still:
* The view2d handling and alignment refresh of panels is not correct yet in the
buttons window.
* I did not yet bring back the block handlers system. It was basically a system
that stored which panel was open and where the events for that panel would go.
Just a few functions, but not sure how it fits in 2.5.
* There was a case where dragging panels would not properly remove the window
level handler, but could not redo anymore even though I don't think I fixed
it.
* Some text in the panels goes past the end of the button, that is due to the
checkmark button drawing, not related to this commit.
Other UI code changes:
* Renamed interface.h to interface_intern.h for consistency.
* Fixed some issues with freeing of blocks when they changed due to context.
* uiDrawBlock now takes a context pointer (mostly for block drawextra).
Operator calls: extended WM_operator_name_call() with options whether to
call the exec() (operate immediate) or invoke() (check user input) entry.
This will allow python to use it more efficiently, but also solves the
dreaded pulldown case that showed another menu for confirmation.
New names to learn: :)
WM_OP_EXEC_DEFAULT
WM_OP_INVOKE_DEFAULT
on todo still: allow hotkey definitions to do same.
From the Christmas goodie-bag, I've added the border-zoom tool (also known as 'Zoom to Border'). This can be activated using the Shift-ZKEY hotkey (Note: this probably won't be the final hotkey choice, but I'm trying to keep Shift-BKEY free for data-editing tools).
With this method of zooming, you define a border for the current viewable area to 'fit' into.
* drawing the region with LMB will zoom in the view by focussing in on the defined region
* drawing the region with RMB will zoom out of the view by shrinking the view into the defined region
Fix: popup menus were not freeing operators.
Made a new Popup menu call for this case:
uiPupmenuOperator(C, maxrow, op, propname, menustr);
It will set enum "propname" to the menu item and call operator,
register it optionally and free it. Use it in "invoke" calls.
Next: automatic menu generating for enum properties!
I did a very drastic cleanup for the different libgroups, there's now only a few left. It compiled with scons/msvc, will be testing in a bit on linux, too.
If you get any problems, please reply to this commit message on the taskforce ML.
* Brought back backend for editing keyframes IPO/IPO-Curves. Did some refactoring work here that will still have to be verified when operators using them are added.
* Animation channel filtering code now returns the number of channels filtered (for Action Editor to set totrect of channels - TODO still!)
* View2D - made function to check if mouse is in View2D scrollers an API function
* Renamed keyframe related files. The old names were too clumsy.
* Started porting click-select operators for Action Editor. These don't work currently, as the events are being stolen by the markers. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
* View Pan Operator now stores area, etc. values from context in case user moves out of view
* Moved the invalid-context check for Action Editor so that mode can still be changed when there's no data to show.
Our precious outliner is back! :)
Currently no operations are active there, nor notifiers to refresh
other windows. Be patient!
You can switch to RNA with the 'view' menu.
Later we'll sort out how much of both get integrated in 1 system, or
have both options, or make designated 'data view' for rna? ALso the
old Oops... bring back?
Better implementation of own window timers, not using ghost.
That makes blender's WM nice in control, and gives callers
of timers the opportunitie to evaluate time passed since
previous step. This system also only generates one timer
event per main loop (events - handlers - notifiers - draw)
Small fix: allow keymap modifier to give KM_ANY to ignore
modifier keys, this to have TIMER keymap work.
* Restored y-position translations needed for gla-stuff, as gla stuff sets viewport + matrices!
* Fixed alpha-problems with icons. The ft-font drawing was turning off GL_BLEND when it was done, which screwed up the icon drawing (previous names were drawn with 'standard' fonts only)
* Removed Context arg from drawing funcs. Passing anim-context instead.
* Properly initialised new theme settings ported over from animsys2.
Cleanup
- for portablity we can keep the old ugly defines for retrieving
active object, cfra and so on. But, they will use 'scene' not
G.scene.
- fixed code that uses those defines.
- some unused variables/functions removed
Removed unused variables and commented out unused function.
It's very helpful for code porting work to keep commits
warning free! If you compile debug, also disable O2 to get
these warnings.
Initial commit of drawing code for Action Editor / Dopesheet. By default, the Dopesheet is now enabled (like in AnimSys2). There are still a few unresolved problems (like bad alpha blending for icons, and keyframes still not being drawn). However, these will be resolved in due course.
* Made normal 'rounded' theme use the same fake AA outline as round shaded
* Made rounded theme respect the 'button outline' theme colour - it never did before.
Alignment flags are now checked for after keeptot settings, as these flags are of even greater importance. This is necessary for the syncing of the channels region and timeline areas in Action Editor (and later NLA Editor).
Enabled cool hidden feature from Brecht: "interactive" mode for buttons,
which executes button handling on each change.
Try sliding the current frame, or even: type in values there! Cooool! :)
Moved time_ops.c contents to anim_ops.c, as the operators there are applicable to all other Animation Editors too. anim_ops.c will therefore contain all operators which will apply to all Animation Editors (i.e. change frame, frames/seconds display toggle, and soon Preview Range tools).
As such, added new global 'Animation' keymap like for View2D and Markers, which will ensure that these tools can be accessed in an uniform way across editors.
Note that the order that these things are added is important, as the Animation ones will often 'steal' events from the View2D and Markers ones if placed before the others. To prevent that, we'd need to be able to set boundboxes here...
All of the view3d drawing code is now 'Context' free.
The idea is:
- ED_region_do_draw() sets and freezes drawing context
- regiontype draw() callback then can pass on other relevant
context stuff as function args.
Also cleaned up the WM opengl wrappers, to mimic opengl state;
no reason to give window pointer anymore.
* Added flags to View2D to specify whether the view should have pixel offsets applied (this is able to be specified per axis, just in case the need arises). Currently, this is only used for headers, where the UI elements were not as smooth + round as they could be
* Fixed IPO/Action/NLA so that new instance will show channel lists by default and with scrollers
* Fixed Outliner zoom-in/out on changing windowsize. I didn't notice this on my previous custom .B.blend file, but the problem was apparent in the default setup.
Context API
This adds the context API as described here. The main practical change
now is that C is not longer directly accessible but has to be accessed
through accessor functions. This basically adds the implementation of
the API and adaption of existing code with some minor changes. The next
task of course is to actually use this design to cleanup of bad level
calls and global access, in blenkernel, blenloader.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Context
Error, Warning and Debug Info Reporting
This adds the error reporting API as described here. It should help
clean up error() calls in non-ui code, but eventually can become used
for gathering messages for a console window, and throwing exceptions
in python scripts when an error happens executing something.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Reports
Now, preset view configurations are only to be used if they define all (scrollers not included) relevant settings for the view they are set for. This should be less confusing than in the previous situation with V2D_COMMONVIEW_TIMELINE stuff.
One implication of this though, is that all Animation Editors (for example), will have to define their own version of the relatively commonly shared info. However, given the great diversity in the range of settings each have, this should not be too much of an issue.
Also, added a 'standard' view config for main 'window' regions. At this stage, it is recommended that this view config should be used only as a placeholder template on which a set of custom settings could be based. I've put it into use for the buttons window/scripts window/info window so far.
* Added support for defining properties for operator buttons, with
uiButGetOperatorPtrRNA. Needed to cleanup a hack that was there
for operator properties in RNA, now a separate OperatorProperties
type is used for storing operator properties, instead of being part
of the Operator type itself.
* Allow selecting menu items with mouse release instead of press again.
* Fix some cases with hanging tooltips in the UI.
