Now it behaves right on playback:
- Starting playback "Anim Player" button appears on header.
It used to appear only on mouse hover before.
- Stopping playback triggers refresh on compositor, so
actual result would be visible if image sequence/movie
is used in nodes.
this will reconnect nodes as if the deleted node is muted.
Operation is added to the space_node node menu and to the keymap as CTRL-X
to test this just add some nodes to the space_node
select one or multiple nodes and press CTRL-X
It should reconnect the nodes as they were muted
limitations:
1. it performs a delete and reconnect per node. It does not evaluate all selected nodes as one whole
2. mute only supports Value, Vector and Color data types, so does this feature
3. not usable for nodes where input and output does not match (like colorToBW)
Where reconnect could not be preformed the links will be removed from the model.
Undo works with this delete with reconnect.
===== Situation before this patch =====
in the current situation inside the node editor there is a properties panel (press 'n'-key). This pabel displays some information about the node, backdrop and grease pencil. The UI of the property panel is typically vertical oriented. Nodes in the other hand are not oriented in a direction. Both area's are draw via the same draw function.
With some nodes this will create not user-friendly UI. Try the color-balance for instance). The 3 color circles are drawn next to each other, it would be better to draw them below each other.
When creating more complex nodes you don't want to display all handles in the node-panel and in the properties panel. For instance fine-tuning handles you only want to appear in the property panel to reduce place in the node itself.
===== Situation after this patch =====
This patch separates the draw functions of the property panel and the node panel.
When no special draw function is created for the property panel, the draw function of the node will be used as 'fallback'
===== Impact =====
==== BKE_node.h ====
add a new uifunc (called uifuncbut) to the bNodeType struct. The definition is the same as the uifunc.
==== node_buttons.c ====
if the uifuncbut is set, call it. currently calls the uifunc method
==== drawnode.c ====
static void node_composit_set_butfunc(bNodeType *ntype). set the uifuncbut function where needed. When at the end of the method uifuncbut is still empty, set uifuncbut to the uifunc.
===== Final note =====
! PS. this is not limited to the compositor it also works for Materials and Textures !
! PPS. For other branching creating their own node-tree. Please make sure that your uifuncbut is set NULL or a valid draw function !
blender_add_lib now takes a separate include argument to suppress warnings in system includes (mostly ffmpeg & python).
also only build wm_apple.c on apple+carbon configuration.
mouse coords would with cont. grab would wrap at short.
use mouse coords as int rather then short.
this problem still happens on linux because of XTranslateCoordinates
added a label for image sequence images showing the image file's frame, even when not able to load, this also gives realtime feedback to the user while dragging the frame offset/start/duration buttons about so they can better understand how these settings work.
- made EXPANDED_AGRP take bAnimContext as an argument.
- remove unneeded NULL check drawFacesColored functions.
- comment some vars which are set but not used.
- 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)
Changed selection flag used for the selected_nodes context property from SELECT to NODE_SELECT. These are just incidentally the same, but NODE_SELECT should be used for nodes.
In addition don't store unfinished links in the nodetree->links list any more. This makes code a bit safer because all links in that list can be considered valid now. The temporary bNodeLinkDrag structs used by the modal linking operator are now also stored in a list in SpaceNode, so these links can be drawn too (this separation also allows different display of temporary links, e.g. currently they are drawn on top of all nodes).
One node update call (for nodes within group nodetrees) was using the
wrong nodetree (node-editor's nodetree, not the group) which meant
that the wrong RNA context for such nodes would get used, resulting in
errors when trying to keyframe such nodes.
Hopefully this is the last time I have to fix these bugs...
