- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
* Windows installer not working for non-admin users and multiple users
* Addon scripts not installing next to user configuration
* Portable install not being taken into account in all places
The main problem was the windows installer was installing system scripts in
AppData next to the user configuration directory, which is not shared between
users. Now these are installed in ProgramFiles, and only addon scripts added
by the users go to AppData.
On all platforms, addon scripts were sometimes getting installed between
system scripts, because the scripts folder in the executable directory was
given precedence over the user configuration folder, that is no longer done
now. So addons now behave like user configuration, they are preserved even
if you download a newer build of the same blender version.
If you have an installation of 2.57 on windows, the addon install location
will not change until we do the version bump to 2.58, to avoid conflicts with
the existing the installed 2.57 version.
The old behavior of giving precedence to the local folder was done to support
portable install, where all configuration is written to the local folder. This
is now implemented differently: if and only if a "config" folder exists in the
local folder, portable install will be assumed, and files will only be written
to that local folder.
for durian we had camera rigs which needed to have the parent transformed rather then the camera, for this reason I made fly mode fly the parent rather then the camera its self.
Make this a preference and use this for view camera/view locking too.
Committing here a patch by Bastien Montagne (mont29), a more understandable Translation Constraint UI.
Before: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12578
Now http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12258
From the description:
"When you set “X” under the Destination’s “Z”, it does not mean that the Z transform of the source should affect the X transform of the destination, but rather that the X transform of the source should affect the Z transform of the destination…"
The new UI should make it a bit more clear.
*In Particle Mode, there was no way to see what p-sys is being edited in the 3D View Tool bar, when having multiple ones.
Changed List type to normal (with limit to 3 rows). Request by venomgfx. :)
* Removed redundant text info about disconnected hair from Particle UI.
This patch adds adjustment layer tracks to the sequencer and does some cleaning
up of the code.
What's an adjustment layer?
Think of it as an effect track, which takes no explicit input, but alters
the output of everything down the layer stack.
So: you can add several stages of color correction with it.
And: you can even use it with metastrips to group several adjustments together.
Reviewed by Tom Musgrove and myself.
From the patch description:
ValterVB on #blendercoders submitted a long list of missing tooltips in Blender, and I went through the list and added all I knew. After that I crowdsourced the rest by putting a spreadsheet on Google docs and having people fill in the missing ones that I didn't know. So if there's some weird tooltip in there that doesn't make sense, that's why.
Thanks to Wolter, spacetug and others on BlenderArtists for contributing tooltips.
from the current shape mix. The old behavior is still accessable from the
menu as "New Shape From Mix".
Checked with Sergey and Bassam that this is a good change. New users
expect the add shape button to simply add a new blank shape, and get
confused when that is not the case. It is also really easy to
accidentally have other shape information in a new shape when the
"from mix" behavior is default.
- follow rotate/pan/zoom/dolly operators.
- auto-depth preference works.
- smooth view navigation supported.
- view selected, all & numpad operator work too.
TODO
- deal with camera transform locked axis
- find a way to move/zoom the frame while the camera is locked (if it turns out to be a problem).
from Andy Braham (andybraham)
This adds support for empties to reference images and draw in the 3D view.
Modifications from the original patch.
- use an empty draw 'image' type
- use image aspect ratio for non-square-pixels
- when the image is not found, still draw the frame.
Added new option to find panel of space text which toggles
case-esensitive search.
Additional changes:
- Send NC_TEXT|NA_EDITED when removing markers in find_and_replace modifier
this prevents "sticked" markers which disappears on first redraw when
search text wasn't found
- Do not show "Text wasn't found" error when text to be searched is contained
in the end of buffer and it's selected. Replacing/marking used to happen, but
this popup message was really annoying for this case.
TODO: It's incorrect to use UI_GetThemeColor4ubv from this operator
- Constructive modifiers are enabled by default in sculpt mode.
- There's option to disable all constructive modifiers in the "Options"
panel of toolbox in sculpt mode,
- Use one column in options panel to make strings easier to read
- No modifiers would still be applied on multires
- installing an addon which creates a new script directory didn't add this to the sys.path.
- installing the addon was meant to set the search string to the addon name but was broken.
