- In Drivers mode of Graph Editor, expanders for sub-object data were
not working at all. This was because they were getting overriden by an
errant ob-level drivers check
- Adding drivers from py-api didn't update Graph Editor
- remove some warnings
- fix typos
- cmake allow in-source build (when WITH_IN_SOURCE_BUILD is defined)
- cmake, use an explicit list of rna files (don't glob)
was no longer wrapped by python as a vector. now fixed size float arrays
with PROP_NONE subtype are wrapped as vectors since its convenient to
have x/y access.
this is useful for the register() class method which is called before the class gets structRNA assigned.
eg:
class MyClass(bpy.types.PropertyGroup):
@classmethod
def register(cls):
cls.name = StringProperty() # assigned but registration is delayed.
move calls to the classes register/unregister function into register_class() / unregister_class() and add docs.
also other minor changes:
- remove face sorting keybinding, was Ctrl+Alt+F, this is quite and obscure feature and face order normally doesn't matter, so access from Face menu is enough.
- add commented out call to mesh.validate() in addon template since its useful to correct incomplete meshes during development.
creating RNA within draw functions can free existing RNA, crashing blender when this is already used in the UI.
disallowing this so it raises a python exception.
This was being used to dynamically generate addon categories so for now they are hard coded and we need proper enum-functions for python to do this.
this is not well suited to RNA so this is a native python api.
This uses:
bpy.data.libraries.load(filepath, link=False, relative=False)
however the return value needs to use pythons context manager, this means the library loading is confined to a block of code and python cant leave a half loaded library state.
eg, load a single scene we know the name of:
with bpy.data.libraries.load(filepath) as (data_from, data_to):
data_to.scenes = ["Scene"]
eg, load all scenes:
with bpy.data.libraries.load(filepath) as (data_from, data_to):
data_to.scenes = data_from.scenes
eg, load all objects starting with 'A'
with bpy.data.libraries.load(filepath) as (data_from, data_to):
data_to.objects = [name for name in data_from.objects if name.startswith("A")]
As you can see gives 2 objects like 'bpy.data', but containing lists of strings which can be moved from one into another.
