functions based on editor types
This could be split up further in future if there's such a need, but
this should already be sufficient. Most notably required since the NLA
recalc stuff was taking quite a few lines within that block
disabled, the strips are drawn so that they take up less vertical
space.
Originally, the primary reason why these were taller than those in the
other animation editors was really so that these control curves could
be visualised adequately. So, when these aren't shown, we can afford
to collapse the strips vertically.
This should make it possible to fit more strips on screen to retime
them. in some staggered fashion.
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
* Removed list-expanders for Materials, Textures, and Particles. So
instead of:
Object
Materials
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
we now have
Object
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
This makes it faster+easier to get to these items. If you don't want
to see all of these, you can still use the data-block filters from the
header to hide these.
* Internal cleanup - removed "owner" and "ownertype" settings from
bAnimListElem. The purpose of these was muddled, and more of a hassle
to maintain than doing anything useful - it was only really used for
the stuff above.
* Removed need for "sa->spacedata.first" casts all over the show for
animation editor tools which needed access to editor data. This can
now be retrieved directly.
Scene (Toolsettings, i.e. alongside "layered" option for using NLA
while doing auto-keying)
This option makes all Auto-Keying operations use the active Keying Set
to carry out keyframing operations instead of picking and choosing
their own Keying Sets to use, thus cutting down on the number of
unwanted keys.
Warning: if the older userpref option was enabled in an old
startup.blend, it may be difficult to turn this option off.
This commit restores some basic functionality for retiming Grease
Pencil sketches. Some of the functionality that existed before still
hasn't been restored (namely snap/mirror tools as well as copy+paste),
though it should be possible to use this for basic retiming and
sketch-frame management again.
- There's still a lot of work required to get this up to the standard
of the rest of the animation editor code, as some of this code was
originally just hacked in based on the old-style code.
- Work is already required to not have to directly access the main db
global to get the list of Grease Pencil datablocks to show, but that
can come along with pending cleanups of the filtering code.
