The PYTHONPATH environment variable sometimes causes issues,
clearing it in the helper batch files is easier than talking
every user individually though the process of removing it
to see if it resolves the issue they are having.
Unify all desktop icons on Mac, Win and Linux to fit with the correct, updated brand guidelines here: https://www.blender.org/about/logo/
This is using :
PANTONE 716 C = #EA7600 (RGB 234 118 0)
PANTONE 647 C = #236192 (RGB 35 97 146)
Thanks to Yevgeny Makarov (jenkm) for compiling this icon update.
See T63623
To make triaging a little easier these batchfiles generate the
debug log and sysinfo files and instruct the user how to attach
them to their bug report

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
This feature is limited (only byte PPM output, no multi-view),
only works with specific configurations.
This also causes some maintenance overhead
when testing changes to the render pipeline.
Note these are intended for platform maintainers, we do not intend to
support users making their own builds with these. For that precompiled
libraries from lib/ should be used.
Implemented by Martijn Berger, Ray Molenkamp and Brecht Van Lommel.

- pass string size to BLI_timestr() to avoid possible buffer overrun.
- quiet warning for mingw.
- include guards for windows utf conversion funcs.
- fix for mistage in edge-angle-selection check.
- some style cleanup.
when installing to a folder that already existed. Now the uninstaller
will remove only the files it has installed, and leave any other files
in the installation directory intact.
* 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.

Fix [#25473] 64bit Windows installer for version 2.56 is not working
patch submitted by Caleb (Dobz)
The thumbnail patch adds a thumb handler DLL that adds .blend thumbnail support in Windows Explorer. A -r option is added to do registration in background. The patch also improves icon building and metadata for blender.exe.
Caleb fixes and cleans up our installer to an acceptable state. The patch uses the new -r option to do the .blend extension and thumbnailer registration.
Thanks to both Caleb and Tom for their efforts!
runs in user mode, not elevated to admin. Otherwise users can't install to the default which used to
be Program Files, which causes more problems than necessary. Although unconventional location, probably
currently a better solution.
Network admins etc. can override install location on command-line. NSIS docs tell how.
Reported by Ruud van Eeghem
Instead of running vcredist, which can fail when installing as normal user, have the DLLs
like our zip distribution bundled already inside install dir.
Make sure for win64 version of Blender that we set default install dir to $PROGRAMFILES64
and keep win32 version to $PROGRAMFILES32.
Reported on Graphicall.org by Robroy
* Proper deletion of install dir - everything under it will be gone
* Ask if config/userdata can be removed and act accordingly. If selected, everything under user/config dir (BLENDERHOME) will be gone.
* The installer now will automatically update vc runtime
To be able to properly create an installer, you need:
- NSIS, and the MoreInfo plugin for NSIS. Make sure NSIS is in your path
- Set in your user-config.py BF_VCREDIST full path to the redist you have.
Note: this works only with SCons.
