This may result in cursor being grabbed twice (though we don't have any macro that can do this at the moment). If this is a problem, a check can be added.
Make macros work with more than one modal operator and mix of modal and invoke/exec
As a proof, brought back loopcut + edge slide in a single macro operator called Loopcut and Slide, replacing Loopcut as assigned to Ctrl-R.
Fixing/Missing RNA properties:
- "virtual" property for "ANY" modifier for keymapitem
- modal property for keymap
- Look up modal_items in usermaps too
Lazy init usermaps needs to init modal_items too.
New function to initialize a user keymap (fill in modal_item and poll pointers).
Operator modal keymaps now look up if there's a user defined keymap that overwrites it.
Full Event UI buttons now show "Any" when modifier is set to that (instead of listing all of them).
Note: Having the modifiers as boolean still doesn't express the full breath of values possible for them. There is commented code in this commit to represent them as enum, which would solve this, but make the keymap editor more cryptic.
Auto save is now working again in 2.5. It will also remember now what
the location of the original file was when recovering it, so that
library links still work and saving the restored file does not save to
the temp directory. There is also a new Recover Auto Save operator
which will open the filebrowser in the temp directory and show the
auto saved .blends.
Implemenation Notes:
* Timer storage was moved from window to windowmanager, so we can have
windowmanager level timers too now, doesn't make sense to have
autosave timer attached to a particular window.
* FileGlobal now has a filename field storing where the file was saved.
Note that this is only used when loading a file through the recover
operators, regular file read doesn't use it, so copying the quit.blend
manually over the original file will still work as expected.
* Jobs timer no longer uses operator now, this seems more like an
internal thing, changing keymaps should not make it possible to break
the jobs manager.
* Autosave is postponed by 10 seconds when a modal operator is running,
e.g. transform or file browsing.
* Moved setting G.sce in setup_app_data before depsgraph updates, these
can use the filename for pointcaches.
- Use an enum for grab modes rather then boolean options.
-- GHOST_kGrabNormal: continuous grab userpref disabled
-- GHOST_kGrabWrap: wrap the mouse at the screen bounds *
-- GHOST_kGrabHide: hide the mouse while grabbing and restore the mouse where it was initially pressed *
GrabWrap is nice for transform and tools where you want some idea where the cursor is, previously I found both restoring the mouse at its original location and restoring at a clamped location was confusing with operators like transform, wrapping is not ideal but IMHO the best of a bad bunch of options.
GrabHide is for numbuts, where restoring the mouse at the initial location isnt so confusing.
It will check if either the operator or operator type flags are set on top of the user preference before grabbing the pointer.
I've set that flag for 3d view navigation operators, others should be set too (no transform, I'll deal with that one).
Keymaps are now saveable and configurable from the user preferences, note
that editing one item in a keymap means the whole keymap is now defined by
the user and will not be updated by Blender, an option for syncing might be
added later. The outliner interface is still there, but I will probably
remove it.
There's actually 3 levels now:
* Default builtin key configuration.
* Key configuration loaded from .py file, for configs like Blender 2.4x
or other 3D applications.
* Keymaps edited by the user and saved in .B.blend. These can be saved
to .py files as well to make creating distributable configurations
easier.
Also, user preferences sections were reorganized a bit, now there is:
Interface, Editing, Input, Files and System.
Implementation notes:
* wmKeyConfig was added which represents a key configuration containing
keymaps.
* wmKeymapItem was renamed to wmKeyMapItem for consistency with wmKeyMap.
* Modal maps are not wrapped yet.
* User preferences DNA file reading did not support newdataadr() yet,
added this now for reading keymaps.
* Key configuration related settings are now RNA wrapped.
* is_property_set and is_property_hidden python methods were added.
of the main reasons for passing along context, while actually
they don't need much context at all. Might be removed again,
but would like to have this especially for RNA API functions.
- Useful for dragging buttons to the far right when theyd otherwise hit the screen edge.
- Useful for transform though probably NOT what you want when using the transform manipulator (should make an option).
- When enabled, number buttons use this as well as a different conversion of mouse movement
float numbuts: mouse 1px == 1-clickstep
int numbuts: 2px == 1 (tried 1:1 but its too jitter prone)
details...
- access as an option to GHOST_SetCursorGrab(grab, warp)
- Currently all operators that grab use this, could be made an operator flag
- only Ghost/X11 supported currently
(Mostly for very early testers)
Cocoa uses coordinates with y=0 at bottom : updated wm_window.c and wm_event_system.c for COCOA build to avoid double conversions in response to mouse move events and GHOST_getCursorPosition
Known limitations:
No fullscreen support
Font issue in preference panel
libSDL uses some Carbon functions
one active. Now there's a function to get the pointer + property from
the UI, just like for the animation operators.
Also two fixes for fileselect events, regions are now preserved so that
context is restored to the old region, and the cancel callback is called
when the operator is cancelled.
Main Feature:
* It is now possible to choose which AnimData block is the 'active' one for editing, and/or select them too. AnimData blocks are generally the dark blue and lighter-blue expanders (i.e. Scene, Object, Camera, Lamp, Curve, Armature, etc.)
* Objects are no longer selected/deselected when AKEY is used to toggle selection of channels. This was getting a bit annoying.
* Following on from selection of AnimData blocks, it is now possible to select/make active an AnimData block in the animation editors, and change the active action for that block via the 'Animation Data' panel in NLA Editor's properties region.
--> Be aware that user-counts are not totally handled correctly there yet, so some funky behaviour might be seen...
--> It is possible to assign a new action, or to assign an existing one, allowing to switch between actions as in the past with Actions/IPO Editors...
Other tweaks:
* Some code tweaks towards making the 'Euler Filter' feature for Graph Editor working sometime soon
* Added some backend code for snapping the values of keyframes to a single value. Still need to work out some UI for it though.
* Shuffled the code for ACT_OT_new() around, and removed the poll() callback so that it worked in NLA too.
* Fixed some more notifier bugs with deleting bones and a few other editmode operations for Armatures.
With mouse events event->val started as 0/1 for press/release but later the tweak function made LMB and RMB zero value into KM_RELEASE, somehow MMB didnt get used by the tweak function so was left at 0 and the modal keymap function failed when comparing MMB Mouse ups.
now initialize event->val as KM_PRESS/KM_RELEASE
- rename WM_OT_ten_timer to WM_OT_redraw_timer
- added iterations argument to run more then 10 times (10 is default still)
- use report api rather then always calling a popup directly.
- added a new test that draws every region without swapping.
- dont show the info popup when operators are called from python.
- operators called from python now print reports, useful with the interactive console.
eg.
>>> bpy.ops.wm.redraw_timer(type='DRAW_WIN', iterations=300)
Info: 300 x Draw Window: 4168.56 ms, average: 13.8952
text editor creates squares on some systems. Based on info from
Martin, it appears the keymodifier is being set when it shouldn't.
I think this is happening become some systems may be generating
KM_PRESS events without a matching KM_RELEASE?
Also ignore ascii values 1-32 now instead of 14-32, not sure why
they were included now in 2.5 because they were not in 2.4, but
I don't see a reason to do it. This fixes squares when pressing
e.g. ctrl+b or ctrl+n.
Tested in X11 where its fairly confusing.
buttons 4 and 5 are used for the wheel which is well known, but it seems 6 and 7 are used for horizontal scrolling, my mouse assigns the extra 2 buttons to events 8 & 9.
So the X11 events used for buttons called 4&5 in blender are 8&9 in X11.
The mouse buttons can be re-ordered like this once xorg starts (swaps 6,7 with 8,9)
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7"
Couldn't test Win32, Apple not supported.
If someone wants to add horizontal scrolling its quite easy.
* Screen keymap is now split up in two, some of the area/region
manipulation operators here need to be handled before others.
* Moved paint/sculpt/sketch out of the 3d view keymap, these were
there as a workaround, now with keymap poll no longer needed.
* Also fixes#19297, 3d cursor moves when combing in particle mode.
issues like Shift+R (repeat last) not giving capital R in the text
editor. There is also new modal handler list at the window level,
and the API call will always add it to that one now, since modal
handlers were not used in other levels.
The order used to be:
* window modal + keymap
* area modal + keymap
* region modal + keymap
Now it is:
* window modal
* region keymap
* area keymap
* window keymap
their handlers based on notifiers, which is simpler and more
reliable.
This fixes for example editmode or uv edit keymaps not working
when creating a new 3dview or image space.
- last commit, missed include for rna_object_api.c & bad args to find_basis_mball
- use enum for GHOST tablet type None/Stylus/Eraser, had duplicate definition for these in C. Only tested X11, may need to cast to an int for other OS's.
#19302: the spin operator did not redo correct when changing properties.
Actually the problem was somewhere else, the search menu always did an
unnecessary undo push, which conflicted with an operator undo push with
the same name. Only in the case of "Spin" was this noticed, because it's
name is so short and you actually type it completely.
#19328: swapping areas could crash when dragging mouse outside the window.
Attempted fix for #19331, #19335 as well, where backspace and some other
keys give square characters instead of working as expected. Couldn't
reproducable here, so please test.
This commit introduces a flag at the Reports level that can be used to indicate that it needs to be freed (on top of the flag already existing in the operator, which I guess could be removed).
Reports for operators called through python are only persisted if they indicate that they are running modal.
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.
* Split object_edit.c into multiple files:
object_add.c, object_edit.c, object_hook.c, object_relations.c,
object_select.c, object_transform.c.
* Rename files to have consistent object_ and mball_ prefix:
object_shapekey.c, object_lattice.c, object_vgroup.c, mball_edit.c.
* Added operators:
* vertex group menu and set active
* apply location, rotation, scale, visual transform (location is new)
* make local
* make vertex parent
* move to layer
* convert to curve/mesh (not finished yet)
* Many small fixes for marked issues, but still much code to be cleaned
up here...
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
example. bpy.ops.tfm.rotate('INVOKE_REGION_WIN', pivot=(0,1,2), ......)
bpy_array.c - was too strict with types, 0 should be allowed as well as 0.0 in a float array.
Implementation:
* NC_SCENE or NC_OBJECT cause scene->stats to be cleared.
* NC_INFO is sent to tag info headers for redraw.
* In UI scene.statistics() creates scene->stats if it is
NULLd, and then returns the string.
Muscle flexing commit; put the "any key modifier" to work, also exposed
(ugly) in keymap editor. Notes for it works:
- You can use any keyboard key to become modifier now (not mouse buttons)
- But, if this key was assigned to be a regular hotkey, that still gets
triggered, obviously.
- So: only use unused keys for this, like "~" or other special ones?
For test fun: L+K now does animplay.
* Added Context access to RNA_property_as_string. This is needed for doing a Python call to the object mode set operator, which has a dynamic enum property that needs context.
Implementation Note:
* Moved the scene copy/unlink code back into blenkernel, with
the exception of the copy single user stuff which is still in
object_edit.c.
* Uses SCREENDELETE notifier like SCREENBROWSE, seems only clean
way to do this now.
Removed all related code. Talked with Ton about this and agreed to postpone it at indefinite time in the future, when things get more relaxed.
Files saved since my first commit should not break although I'm not 100% sure.
Operator goodies!
--- Macro operators
Operators now can consist of multiple operators. Such a macro operator
is identical and behaves identical to other opererators. Macros can
also be constructed of macros even! Currently only hardcoded macros are
implemented, this to solve combined operators such as 'add duplicate' or
'extrude' (both want a transform appended).
Usage is simple:
- WM_operatortype_append_macro() : add new operatortype, name, flags
- WM_operatortype_macro_define() : add existing operator to macro
(Note: macro_define will also allow properties to be set, doesnt work
right now)
On converting the macro wmOperatorType to a real operator, it makes a
list of all operators, and the standard macro callbacks (exec, invoke,
modal, poll) just will use all.
Important note; switching to a modal operator only works as last in the
chain now!
Macros implemented for duplicate, extrude and rip. Tool menu works fine
for it, also the redo hotkey F4 works properly.
--- Operator redo fix
The operators use the undo system to switch back, but this could give
errors if other actions added undo pushes (buttons, outliner). Now the
redo for operator searches back for the correct undo level.
This fixes issues with many redos.
Note for brecht: removed the ED_undo_push for buttons... it was called
on *every* button now, which is probably too much? For example, using
the 'toolbar' redo also caused this...
* 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.
New:
* added filter and display to some operator properties. Now file browser opens showing only .blend files and folders on file->open and on image->open changes to image display and only shows images and movies.
Fixes:
* fixed stupid removal of wrong prototype in last commit
* fixed a few warnings
First step towards keymap editor!
Before getting too excited:
- doesn't save yet
- no rna properties can be defined
- no insert/remove keymap options yet
- no option yet to set 'key press/release'
But what does work;
- Keymap list is in outliner, new category
(Keymaps are listed in order as being created now)
- enable/disable a keymap entry: click on dot icon
- it displays python api names for ops
- browse new operator for keymap (menu button)
- set keymap to use other keys, mouse or tweak events
- four modifier key options
I first intent to test it all well, there are still
quite some modal map conflicts (like border select) and
there's problems assigning items to tweaks
Another issue is that a visual editor for keymaps might be
quite hard to use... the amount of data and options is just not
so fun for a buttons menu. There are ways to improve this though.
Maybe do this via a script?
Commit of basic architecture. Sorry, nothing fun to play with yet.
Added two events: MOUSEDRAG and MOUSEDROP. MOUSEDRAG is sent when left-mouse clicking and then moving the cursor and every time the cursor is moved until the user releases the mouse button, thus generating a MOUSEDROP.
Also added two dummy drag operators in view3d and outliner (place holders for now).
Brecht and Ton: feel free to check/edit especially the event system code. I'm not sure that's the right way to do it. Also, I'm getting some mem leaks which I suspect are caused by my code.
