Ancient annoying thing for zooming in 2d views: when a view was restricted to keep
aspect ratio, it only allowed vertical or horizontal MMB-drag zooms, depending
portrait or landscape size of editors. Same for trackpad and magic mouse.
Now vertical zoom drag always works for editors like buttons, nodes.
Trackpad zoom (swipe + CTRL) direction was inverted compared to MMB-drag
or scrollwheel usage. In the 3D viewport it was OK, in all others not.
Now the same physical gesture maps identical to zooming everywhere. Or to
recap (with blender factory settings)
Zooming in:
- MMB-drag, move mouse towards screen
- Scroll wheel, move finger towards screen
- Magic Mouse, move finger towards screen
- Trackpad 2-finger swipe: move fingers toward screen.
To make this extra confusing: this is only consistent if you set your system
to inperpret trackpad swipes as "inverted" (pan view left = swipe to right).
This is a typical default, although Apple wants you to call this "Unnatural" :)
Next commit will be testing on laptop if all pinch gestures zoom consistent.
And following to that, a sensible user preference to map trackpad use for
Blender yourself, to invert system defaults again. :)
Blame and thanks goes to Sebastian Koenig, for his perseverance on getting this
solved :)
- UV Image editor and other 2d views didn't zoom for CTRL+swipe yet.
(2 finger trackpad, 1 finger mighty mouse)
- Switched defaults for 3D window swiping...
- default rotate view
- SHIFT for translate
- CTRL for zooms
This makes all editors use 'swipe' like 'middle mouse', and not
like scrollwheel (as in releases).
This is nice for consistancy, but it still feels a bit weird...
Of course users can config this in keymaps. We need a sensible
default though, and to make a 2D input input device behave like
middle mouse seeems more sensible than like a 1D wheel...
Proposal therefore for defaults:
- 1D scrollwheels: zoom in 3d, zoom in 2d, but scroll for list views.
- 2D trackpads: pan for all 2d views, rotate for 3D
I'll check with frequent trackpad users about this and we can freeze it
before release. Give it a try :)
Now scrollbars correctly hide and show, making space for the actual contents
in a region. It solves several old hacks, and puts view2d code a bit more
back in control as well.
Implementation notes:
- The view2d mask feature is working again
- The #define V2D_SCROLL_HORIZONTAL_HIDE means: "turn on hiding".
- Code for UI_view2d_region_reinit() is enforcing better standard view settings
But... two hack/patches needed to be added:
- Region panel drawing: if after generating the button panels it appears
a scroller hides or reveils, it calls all the generating code again.
(a simple scale doesn't work due to rounding differences in layout code)
- View2d code that maps 'tot' and 'cur' rects: if this code detects that
the mask changes, it calcs the map code again.
Also a bugfix (issue in 2.65)
- The left/bottom area split widget was drawing 1 pixel too large sometimes,
leaving bad trails on moving area dividers.
- use DummyRNA_NULL_items to replace empty enums.
- replace calloc with malloc in copy_dverts since its copied over after.
- add wmGesture->userdata, so operators that use gestures have somewhere to store their own data (not used yet).
places as well, but it's quite large change to be done before 'a' release.
For now ignore zoom inverse for 2d view to keep things consistent,
would be re-implemented for all areas after this.
Initially issue was caused by opposite MMB-Drag zoom direction in nodes editor.
Made it so MMB-Drag in negative axis direction (down for Y axis and left for
X axis) would zoom in, moving in opposite direction will zoom out.
This could kind of break muscule memory, but after discussion with Campbell
decided it's not so big a problem -- seems users weren't related on direction
of zoom in and just waved mouse around until zoom is correct. And now muscule
memory should even be a bit better -- drag zoom is unified between different
areas.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
Disabling mode switching in panning in 2d as it is disabled in 3d also.
Apparently, it is a not good idea to call modal method from a modal method as the last won't be canceled.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
