applied to python api and exotic.c, removed some args being passed down which were not needed.
keyword args for new mathutils types were being ignored when they should raise an error.
- operator properties are now converted into python property() class members which bypass the operator 'properties' member.
self.properties.mysetting
... can now be written as ...
self.mysetting
- fix for error reloading rigify
An example of how this is useful - an importer mixin could define the filepath properties and a generic invoke function which can run the subclasses exec for each selected file.
- Panels and Menus now skip the property check when registering.
- renamed _idproperties_ to _idprops_ in function names, function names were getting very long.
written from scratch by Daniel Salazar (zanqdo). added own modifications.
New property type
bpy.props.FloatVectorProperty(), only difference with float is it takes a 'size' argument and optional 'default' sequence of floats.
moved bpy.props.* functions out of bpy_rna.c into their own C file.
this is too arbitrary and could break if roperty order is changed.
store the property in the operator type that is to be used for menu and enum search func's.
python function for searching operator enums on invoke. (just need dynamic python enums now)
wm.invoke_search_popup(self)
bpy.types.register(MacroClass)
instead of
bpy.ops.add_macro(MacroClass)
The rest is unchanged.
Also remove some now unused code for the old registration methods (there's still some remaining).
Basic definition works like a python operator but you derive from "bpy.types.Macro" instead.
Operators are added to the macro after it has been added with "bpy.ops.add_macro" through the class method "define" which takes an operator id and returns an OperatorMacroType (new RNA type) for which properties can then be defined to be passed to the operator when run.
Example: http://blenderartists.org/~theeth/bf/macro.py
Using this system, it should be easy to add an operator to the console that converts selected lines into a macro or even a more generic record macro system.
however this meant the invoke function could not modify properties for exec to use (unless it called exec directly after)
since the popup for eg would re-instance the python class each time.
now use the operator properties directly through rna without an automatic copy.
now an operator attribute is accessed like this...
self.path --> self.properties.path
eg.
scene.objects.link()
object.constraints.new()
mesh.verts.transform(...)
mesh.faces.active
PropertyRNA stores an StructRNA pointer where these can be defined.
- more detailed exceptions (always give file:line incase the python exception doesnt)
- fix some errors in the edit docs
editing docs still fails, need to figure out why.
note that you can still set rna properties like this.
bpy.data.__dict__["var"] = 1
print(bpy.data.var)
but this is only stored for the python objects lifetime and not actually attached to blenders data
# Before
[
bpy.props.StringProperty(attr="path", name="File Path", description="File path used for exporting the PLY file", maxlen= 1024, default= ""),

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_torus_add(major_radius=1, minor_radius=0.25, major_segments=48, minor_segments=16)
- experemental dynamic menus, used for INFO_MT_file, INFO_MT_file_import, INFO_MT_file_export and INFO_MT_mesh_add. these can have items added from python.
eg.
- removed OBJECT_OT_mesh_add, use the python add menu instead.
- made mesh primitive ops - MESH_OT_primitive_plane_add, ...cube_add, etc. work in object mode.
- RNA scene.active_object wrapped
- bugfix [#19466] 2.5: Tweak menu only available for mesh objects added within Edit Mode
ED_object_exit_editmode was always doing an undo push, made this optional using the existing flag - EM_DO_UNDO, called everywhere except when adding primitives.
- editing properties from python wasnt running their update function.
- missing commas made dir(context) give joined strings.
- added __undo__ as an operator class attribute so python ops can be set as undoable. (like existing __register__)
bpy.data, bpy.ops.object etc.
- added basic docs for bpy.props
- omit panel, menu and operator classes (took up too much space and not useful)
- exec cant be used as an operator suffix eg- CONSOLE_OT_exec --> CONSOLE_OT_execute (same for file)
- fixed some crashes when generating docs
Updated docs here
http://www.graphicall.org/ftp/ideasman42/html/
- added better error feedback when registering operators fails.
- added some python benchmark timers (prints on exit), times number of times py scripts run, average time and total % of time running py scripts.
- running a script from a file now uses the PyRun_File(FILE *, ...) rather then PyRun_String("exec(open(r'/somepath.py').read())"...), aparently FILE struct on windows could not ensured to be the same between blender and python, since we use our own python on windows now it should be ok.
- generating docs works again (operator update for py style syntax broke them)
- python operator doc strings was being overwritten
- added rna property attribute "default" to get the default value of a property, not working on arrays currently because variable length arrays are not supported.
- simplified C operator API bpy.__ops__ since its wrapped by python now.
- needs the class to have an __idname__ rather then __name__ (like menus, headers)
- convert python names "console.exec" into blender names "CONSOLE_OT_exec" when registering (store the blender name as class.__idname_bl__, users scripters wont notice)
- bpy.props.props ???, removed
* Drawing the console text now skips all lines outside the view bounds.
* Added dummy C operators for console.exec and console.autocomplete so blender wont complain at startup, its not really a problem but people testing reported it a few times. Eventually we should have some way python operators are initialized before the spaces operators are checked.
* reordered the imports so the "ui" dir is imported before "io", for now this means bpy.ops is defined before exporters and importers need to use it, was causing a python error on startup.
* fixed all compiler warnings for the console (gcc4.4)
* stopped operators were printing out the return flag.
* removed references to ACT_OT_test, TEXT_OT_console_exec and TEXT_OT_console_autocomplete
- added class option for PyOperators __register__ so you can set if py operators are logged in the console.
- PyOperators was refcounting in a more readable but incorrect way. in some cases would be possible to crash so better not drop the reference before using the value.
- console zoom operator was registering which meant zooming in to see some text would push it away :)
* 3D view Mesh menu works again, but incomplete.
* Add Properties and Toolbar to 3D View menu.
* Added "specials" menus back, vertex/edge/face and general.
* Various fixes in existing mesh operators, some were not working.
* Add MESH_OT_merge.
* Merge all subdivide ops into MESH_OT_subdivide, subdivide code
changes to make smooth + multi give good results.
* Rename all select inverse ops to *_OT_select_inverse.
* Fix "search for unknown operator" prints at startup, and some
warnings in py code.
* Don't run .pyc files on startup.
* Remove unused image window header C code.
Image Window
* Unpack operator now works.
* Some small layout code tweaks.
Info Window Header
* Moved to python UI code.
* template_running_jobs, template_operator_search added.
* Ported external data operators: pack/unpack all, make
paths relative/absolute, find/report missing files.
Also
* Report RPT_INFO too, not only warnings and errors.
* Run UI handle functions after RNA and Operators.
* Rename particle system add/remove operators, to not
include "slot", that's only there for materials because
that's what they are called now in RNA.
check Save Image or Export PLY operator for example.
Also these code changes:
* Added some RNA collection iterator macros to simplify code.
* Fix bpy.props.BoolProperty not working correct.
* Merge uiDefAutoButsRNA/uiDefAutoButsRNA_single into one.
* 2 new enums event_value_items and event_type_items in RNA_enum_types.h
* WM_key_event_string now uses an RNA enum lookup rather then its own switch statement.
* moved wmEvent from WM_types.h into DNA_windowmanager_types.h
* added RNA_enum_identifier and RNA_enum_name to get strings from an enum value.
