----------------------------------
Arith:
- axis angle to quat conversion function
- short to float / float to short normals conversion function (eventually, we could go over the go and replace copy/pasted code everywhere)
- ray triangle intersection (to complement the line triangle intersection function)
View:
- viewray / viewline (get near plane point under mouse and ray normal/far point)
Particles:
- extract viewline from brush_add function
* python Blender.GetPaths() - absolute=0 wasnt working
* BLI_cleanup_file and BLI_cleanup_file were treating the // prefix as a duplicate path, now ignores //
* BLI_convertstringcode was removing the trailing slash from a path
(tested these path functions didnt mess up with some of the peach files and with pointcache)
Also, setting the merge limit to be non-zero for armature graphs (since very small yet non-zero differences would prevent merges and correct graph creation)
* scene.object.context and scene.object.selected had broken get_item
funcs so scene.object.context[i] returned the wrong object.
* aligning the view to an object (numpad*key), did not disable the
ortho view grid.
* long standing problem where opening a relative image would fail with
no message. BLI_convertstringcode was returning a path with /../../'s
that need to be cleaned before the path could be read, the path was also
invalid from unix shell so its not a blender path reading problem.
removed frame numbering from BLI_convertstringcode into its own function (BLI_convertstringframe), many uses of BLI_convertstringcode were passing dummy frames values anyway.
in cases where adding the current frame number to a filename is needed run BLI_convertstringframe(...) after BLI_convertstringcode(...)
There are some cases Im not sure BLI_convertstringframe is needed, these have been commented as todo, but at least have the same functionality they used to.
fix for [#6580] invalid file names not handled consistently when saving
only affects windows, where invisible file stream could be created if filename contains ':'
* BPath sequencer strip looper was only operating on the active scene, now look through all scenes.
* The active sequence strip wasnt being reset when scenes switched, so you could see the previous scenes strip when switching to a new scene.
Added BLI_split_dirfile_basic, that only splits the path into directory and file. without checking the dir exists or creating it, without changing the original string that is passed to it.
This means when moving large projects with many images/videos/sounds is possible with 'File, External Data, Find Missing Files'.
- needed so we can put peach animatic, glrenders & testrenders on the dvd.
also datatoc.c - brecht's fixes from apricot.
This replaces the hard-coded '%PROFILE%\Application Data\..." path
with the correct language-dependant CSIDL_APPDATA.
PLEASE NOTE!
Checks for the previous location have now been REMOVED. Any data
saved in the old hard-coded location will no longer be found by
Blender (this will only affect users of non-english windows.)
The installer has been updated to help the user to migrate their data
to the new location of their choice, if necessary.
Order of preference for .blender on windows is now the following:
1) %HOME% environment var
2) Installation Directory (location of blender.exe)
3) "Current User" (CSIDL_APPDATA)
4) "All Users" (CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA)
sprintf(str, "/bin/su root -c 'cd %s; /bin/tar cf - \"%s\" | (/bin/cd %s; /bin/tar xf -)'", from, file, to);
return system(str);
This would ask for a password in blenders terminal, in ubuntu there is no root user...
If this feature is added back it should be written in a much nicer way.
Also made HKey toggle hidden files in the file selector.
For *nix sustems, recent physics pointcache refactor uses stdio.h's remove() rather then system("rm -f ...") for removing files, since it was a lot slower for removing pointcache.
Ton used the system command because there was some problem using remove() ~6years back, but he cant remember why, (maybe its not a problem now)
Simple error, remove wasn't returning a value, but keep an eye out for problems removing files, and if anyone can reproduce the "Unable to make version backup" problem when saving, we should look into it.
Also added a note about using # in the output path for blenders command line help text.
