- initialize the relative_path option in ED_fileselect_get_params(), saves initializing within every operators own init functions, some even trying to initialize a non existing property.
- don't set the operator default from the user preferece, operator property defaults should be static else python scripts for eg can get different defaults depending on user settings, this also wont get updated when user-defaults are edited so generally confusing & not good practice.
Using search for operators showed ambigious names like "Duplicate" or "Delete".
Default names should give at least a descriptive label. In case operators
are collected in a group name-shortening should be handled separaly.
Loading a vector font (.ttf) didn't have option for Relative Path
in the file window. Now it does, and it sets it to the default.
Todo note: the actual path is not visible in the UI yet, nor does
outliner RNA view allow to edit path.
Text edit mode (3d): brought back the ALT+Backspace mode for
typing accented characters. Works with an operator property,
so the hotkey for it is free to define.
Example: type 'a', alt+backspace and then 'o'
works to combine characters with ' ` ~ o / and ^
- Part of this report is a misunderstanding, but there was no access to bold/italic fonts.
- Added rna access and changed the operators to use only rna properties.
only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
- open operator was incorrectly checking if the font path was set.
- rna ID editable check was also incorrect, checking the ID name rather then the filename.
- use define FO_BUILTIN_NAME rather then "<builtin>".
- made smallcaps use a temp flag so caps can still have the smallcaps flag.
- utility function for getting the char from a font. find_vfont_char(), was inline in ~5 places.
- removed CU_STYLE mix of flags only used in one place, not needed. removed 'style' from rna too.
- fix for some warnings.
path -> filepath (for rna and operators, as agreed on with elubie)
path -> data_path (for windowmanager context functions, this was alredy used in many places)
- added relative option to saving external multires data
- renamed multires external functiosn to have save / pack as suffix.
- added TODO's for file select operators that should support relative paths but dont.
- also disable openmp on linux cross compile, mingw currently isnt linking -lgomp
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
The 'save over' popup was only appearing based on a string comparison of the operator name ("Save"). Changed this to use a hidden operator property: "check_existing". Python operators must
have this property for the file selector confirmation too.
This property can also be set to false, to prevent checking for existing files, useful in the File->Save menu item to prevent the dangerously missable confirmation popup.
is now just used to set the rotation property value during invoke.
This removes some reliance on 3d view info for non-interactive use, and also lets you specify
new object's locations/rotations explicitly when calling from Python.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

Appending and Linking
* Linking Operator, invokes filebrowser for Append/Link
* Separated the append/link function into three parts:
** BLO_library_append_begin finds main for appending
** BLO_library_append_named_part appends one Object,Group, Material, ...
** BLO_library_append_end actually reads and expands the libraries
NOTE 1:
I also changed the returned properties for the filebrowser operators to the following convention:
"path" - the full path to a file or directory, means what is in directory + filename buttons in filebrowser
"directory" - the content of the directory button in filebrowser
"filename" - the content of the filename button in filebrowser
Usually only path should be required, but in some cases it might be more convenient to retrieve the parts separately.
Ton, Brecht: If you have time to take a look, let me know if anything needs to be fixed.
Notifiers
---------
Various fixes for wrong use of notifiers, and some new notifiers
to make things a bit more clear and consistent, with two notable
changes:
* Geometry changes are now done with NC_GEOM, rather than
NC_OBJECT|ND_GEOM_, so an object does need to be available.
* Space data now use NC_SPACE|ND_SPACE_*, instead of data
notifiers or even NC_WINDOW in some cases. Note that NC_SPACE
should only be used for notifying about changes in space data,
we don't want to go back to allqueue(REDRAW..).
Depsgraph
---------
The dependency graph now has a different flush call:
DAG_object_flush_update(scene, ob, flag)
is replaced by:
DAG_id_flush_update(id, flag)
It still works basically the same, one difference is that it now
also accepts object data (e.g. Mesh), again to avoid requiring an
Object to be available. Other ID types will simply do nothing at
the moment.
Docs
----
I made some guidelines for how/when to do which kinds of updates
and notifiers. I can't specify totally exact how to make these
decisions, but these are basically the guidelines I use. So, new
and updated docs are here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/NotifiersUpdateshttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers
* Side panels now use list widgets.
* Enabled theme colors for side panel.
* Add button in bookmarks panel.
* Operator panel title now uses operator name.
* For unix, added / to system, and home and desktop to bookmarks.
* For opening fileselect with filter, cleaned up the code a bit,
adding WM_operator_properties_filesel instead of duplicating code.
* Also added filter for all operators calling fileselect, only image
and file open did it before.
* Hide . files by default, and also hide files ending with ~.
* Added back .. (but not .) in the file list, I really missed this.
* File highlight now only happens when you're actually over a file,
instead staying after you move the mouse away.
* Fix some redraw/refresh issues.
