belongs here still, but this came up often, it avoids having to
switch tabs a lot when creating things.
Also renamed uiLayoutFreeBlock to uiLayoutAbsoluteBlock.
* #19583: Keying Sets list issues
Deleting a Keying Set (or a Keying Set Path) set the active index to 0, but that would mean that the first item would be selected but not visible.
* #19590: Keyframing properties of a modifier with more than one of it's type the property will highlight in all
- Modifiers now always have a unique name, so renaming a modifier should check that the name is unique. Most of the files changed in this commit were just to make sure that modifiers got unique names when they were created
- Modifiers path getter was wrapped a bit wrong (missing the "s around the name)
* Constraints Bugs
- Constraints renaming now also makes sure the names stay unique
- Fixed (or attempted to fix) compiler warnings about some enum declaration for distance constraint
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.
* Loading old files didn't initialise the new rotation variables properly
* Fixed some errors with the newly added operator for copying RNA-paths for properties
* Auto-keyframing now correctly refreshes animation editors after adding keyframes. Made the keyingsets code send notifiers again, but now using the newly added WM_main_event_add() (thanks Brecht)
* A few UI tweaks again for animation stuff (timeline, keyingsets UI)
- 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
This calls a registered menu as a popup so we can reuse header menus , currently used for Node editor and Sequencer add menu (Shift+A), can be used for toolbox too.
* Code for generating 'Object' summary of Keyframes for DopeSheet (which is also used by the TimeLine for getting keyframes to draw) now considers materials, object data, and particles too.
* Rearranged the way that keyframing-related settings were presented in the User Preferences. The way the settings were grouped was plain confusing, and based on biased views from the old system. For the record, 'needed'+'visual' are always considered when inserting keyframes, 'always' is for autokeyframing, and default interpolation is only used for newly created F-Curves.
* Fixed bug #19472 - Scroll wheel scrolls in the wrong direction for enum-menus that were flipped (i.e. window type menu and 3d-view mode selector).
Added a way to view and edit Keying Sets via the Scene Buttons. These are still some tweaks needed to make this really workable, but should still work well enough for simply viewing and tweaking existing Keying Sets created using other means.
Additional bugfixes:
* Adjusted the size of labels on properties that had a 'label' for their name. Now it uses 1/3 of the total width instead, which looks much better for most cases.
* Added missing entries for adding Force Fields from the Info-header 'Add' menu. At some point we should unify this menu with the popup operator's one, since this is exactly the kind of situation we had hoped in avoid with new UI architectures.
* Moved all the operator defines for keyframing stuff to the 'intern' anim header instead
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.
Editors Modules
* render/ module added in editors, moved the preview render code there and
also shading related operators.
* physics/ module made more consistent with other modules. renaming files,
making a single physics_ops.c for operators and keymaps. Also move all
particle related operators here now.
* space_buttons/ now should have only operators relevant to the buttons
specificially.
Updates & Notifiers
* Material/Texture/World/Lamp can now be passed to DAG_id_flush_update,
which will go back to a callback in editors. Eventually these should
be in the depsgraph itself, but for now this gives a unified call for
doing updates.
* GLSL materials are now refreshed on changes. There's still various
cases missing,
* Preview icons now hook into this system, solving various update cases
that were missed before.
* Also fixes issue in my last commit, where some preview would not render,
problem is avoided in the new system.
Icon Rendering
* On systems with support for non-power of two textures, an OpenGL texture
is now used instead of glDrawPixels. This avoids problems with icons get
clipped on region borders. On my Linux desktop, this gives an 1.1x speedup,
and on my Mac laptop a 2.3x speedup overall in redrawing the full window,
with the default setup. The glDrawPixels implementation on Mac seems to
have a lot of overhread.
* Preview icons are now drawn using proper premul alpha, and never faded so
you can see them clearly.
* Also tried to fix issue with texture node preview rendering, globals can't
be used with threads reliably.
blocking the user when opening a menu. Material and texture buttons now
display these icons in the list. Also fixes#19387, icon and full preview
render at the same time would crash.
I'm not really convinced this is thread-safe, but on the other hand also
not sure regular preview render is really thread-safe yet.
* The code to draw only visible items was not working, giving slow
performance with many files (bug #19469).
* Fix detailed list display on non-windows, would give overlapping text.
* Fix folders with many files not displaying all items, changed short to
int in various places, was overflowing.
* Recreate layout on area resizes, file view gets out of sync otherwise.
* Workaround for v2d height not being correct with image display due to
scrollers.
* Fix view2d code to compute minimum scroller size, this would make the
scroller go outside of its bounds.
Drivers can now be copied/pasted for single properties, allowing drivers set up on one property to be added to a few other properties relatively easily.
Also, added description strings for the other driver-button operators.
* #19459: Shape Keys not Animateable
Shape Keys were missing the appropriate 'path' callbacks.
* #19458: 3D Viewport doesn't refresh when adding new bone in editmode (using Shift-A)
The 'wrong' notifier was being sent. Currently, Armature EditMode only responds to NC_OBJECT|ND_TRANSFORM, which isn't strictly that correct for all cases.
* Alignment code for constraints headers (i.e. enable/disable lumped with the delete constraint button) was causing the delete button to not work anymore. Removed the offending code (it shouldn't have been there to start off with).
* When object's don't have their own AnimData (i.e. if you only animate the values of some shapekeys), a space is no longer left beside the object's name for a visibility toggle in the Graph Editor.
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
(http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Todo/UserInterface)
* Removed panel docking. "It is too easy to do by accident when reordering panels, is very hard to control and use, and has no real benefit."
* Scoll bars have minimum size now, so that the 'thumb' doesn't disappear in long lists.
% sign for percentage assuming it is between 0-100, while factor is
for values 0-1.
Move collision setting absorption from modifier to collision settings,
was inconsistent to have it there as the only one, and made it have
range 0.0-1.0 instead of 0-100.
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.
* Removed some legacy code which is not needed anymore now.
* Move some test_*poin_but functions to logic space code,
since that's the only place using it still.
* uiIconFromID now uses RNA info to lookup the icon, to avoid
code duplication, and means it works for more ID types.
* The image panels in the image editor and texture buttons
should be more complete now, with working new/open,
refreshes, and using the layout engine.
* Paint panels in image editor are now consistent with the
ones in the 3d view toolbar.
* Curves panel also uses layout engine, and doesn't look
squashed anymore.
* Fix problem with curve mapping / color ramps not updating
things like previews propertly. Now it uses the RNA update
of the pointer from the material/texture/.. so each of those
can define their own update, but still share the RNA struct.
* Code for these templates is now in interface_templates.c
* Fix exception for "axis" property, now it always shows normal
widget with the PROP_DIRECTION subtype.
* Remove context from uiBlockLayoutResolve, no longer needed.
- 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.
- 'center', while Ctrl is held select objects from their center location
- 'enumerate', while Alt is held, give a list of objects under the mouse
- Object selection menu now uses icons with names
- operator object.select_name(name, extend=False)
- keybindings so combinations of Ctrl/Alt/Shift can be used (like in 2.4x)
- logic text input field was using deprecated ID_SCRIPT rather then ID_TXT
details
- added comments to DNA_ID.h ID types
- removed unused ID types Sector and Life
- added uiIconFromID() to get an icon from the object.
- using name for selection is weak but currently there isnt a really good way to do this.
#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.
#19345: can't get out of grayed out pointer field.
#19342: item_pointerR fields can't be cleared with one item.
#19341: fix hanging tooltips when manipulating regions.
#19339: context panel still allowed tabbing, but it has no header.
#19334: editing SSS settings crashed previewrender.
#19330: object mode could not be switched on from the header menu.
