Issue was caused by b62c2a9 and root of it goes to the fact that text
info is stored in the "main" scene, not the currently rendering one.
This is a bit annoying but making it so text and result are coming
from the same scene is a bit dangerous to do now. Will re-visit this
change after the release and see if it might be done in a more clear
fashion.
Scope update is very slow for high resolutions, and currently blocks
the UI thread(!). This is especially terrible in paint modes, where
each stroke causes a scope update and unacceptable freezing.
The scopes update method tries to avoid this somewhat by skipping if the
toolbar is disabled, but this doesn't help when painting where brush
tools etc. are frequently needed. It's also a bad-level poll, with the
core system accessing a UI element.
Eventually scope updates should become a low-priority background job,
as well as becoming threaded. Until then this polling provides a usable
workaround to the most outrageous cases.
* Same issue as T42760 was also reproducible in some cases in 3DView.
* You got an error message about missing RNA prop in some drop-called operators.
* You could not drop a movie file in nodes, (some cases of) 3DView, nor ImageEditor.
too crowded.
UVs in the same layer can be used for many images. It used to be
possible to filter UV faces based on the image, but this is impossible
now due to the way the system works, so I added an option to allow
filtering UVs based on active material index.
Rationale on using option and not being smart here (options are bad tm)
is that for some workflows, such as preserving image space by using the
same image for many materials, people might want to turn this off.
Basically the title tells it all, quite straightforward implementation.
The only thing is the image.render_slot which used to represent the active
render slot index is now moved to image.render_slots.active_index.

This way it is possible to define render border directly from the image editor,
which is useful for at least three things:
- If viewport is really optimized out (simplified etc) then it might be hard to
guess which exact area you're mainly interested now.
- No need to switch to the viewport to do render border tweaks, could be useful
when doing compositing.
- If one need to look at particular pixel(s) which is real handy for debugging
render engines (both Cycles and BI).

Added a special notifier now NC_WM|ND_UNDO in order to deal with such cases
and now compositor/image will refresh when undo happens.
There are much more ways to fail compo to update the resul, like undoing
while it's not visible and so, but as mont29 said -- let's at least fix
obvious crap in the workflow.
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.
For full list of features see:

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
Simply add an option to render settings to save an EXR cache,
just when the render is finished. Also changed RE_ReadRenderResult() to read
cache instead of temp sample files (those are fully volatile now anyway).
Path to save cached render results is an UserPreferences setting.
Also added 'Reload render' feature to the Image Editor (so one can now re-open a blend,
and in an Image Editor hit ctrl-R to (try to) reload last render from cache).

This commit organized panels for image editor to new tab categories dependent
on the image editor mode:
View Mode:
Tools - contains UV tools (currently only transform and UV Sculpting)
Scopes - contains scopes
Grease Pencil - contains Grease Pencil operators
Paint Mode:
Tools - contains brush options
Scopes - as above
Grease Pencil - as above
Mask Mode
Mask - contains mask tools
Scopes - as above
Grease Pencil - as above
Grease Pencil panel/tab now includes operators, not view options which have been
moved to the UI region on the right.
To make this work better, image editor toolbar now is of type TOOLS instead
of PREVIEW as was the case previously. A nice version patch makes sure all
works predictably, but opening newer files with older blender executables
could backfire.
This commit does not address which UV Tools will be included in the
Tools tab for the view mode, but does include some basic tools (transform)
and provides a class to inherit from to avoid conflicts with UV Sculpting.

The scene pointer used for looking up the appropriate source of render result images in the image editor was always taken from context. This means that render results for a different scene would never be
displayed in the image editor.
To give feedback on running renders, try to get the running render job's scene pointer in the image editor for render result type images. This only happens during rendering, apart from that the regular
context scene result is displayed.
Currently supports only two modes:
- Show alpha channel of the mask
- Multiply footage by the mask, which will give
you final-looking combined image.
TODO: Currently rasterization happens on every
redraw, need to cache rasterized mask
somewhere to make redraw more realtime.
Currently only circle and square, might be easily
extended in the future.
New primitives are creating at cursor location.
This also implied adding 2d cursor to space clip.
Also fix set 2D cursor location which didn't work
in image editor's mask mode since 2.67.
TODO: draw_image_cursor better be moved to some
more generic file, but it's not so much
important for now and might be solved later.
Thanks Campbell for the review!
This mimics the behaviour we have in the Clip Editor.
I personally would prefer if we had no border once in fullscreen
(current border is 5 pixels).
I will consult Sergey Sharybin first to see if we can change that in the clip editor as well (though there I
believe the border is useful - the bottom of the editor is used to indicate 'tracked' frames.
of the active object in the 3D view. This was due to sharing a global G.moving
flag to indicate that transform is active, now it's only set per transform data
type so different editors don't influence each other.
node materials.
Area and region listener callbacks now get the screen and area pointers passed, so
they can do more fine grained checks to see if redraw is really needed, for example
depending on the 3D view drawtype.
After the paint refactoring for 2.67, the OpenGL texture was getting updated for
every stroke point, rather than once for every redraw. With a small brush radius
and low spacing the number of stroke points can be quite large, which might have
a big performance impact depending on the graphics card / drivers.
Also for 2D image paint, avoid redrawing the button panels and properties editor
during painting.
There is another possible cause for slowdowns with 3D texture painting which was
not fixed. Projection painting is creating and destroying threads for every stroke
point. Depending on the CPU/OS there might be a lot of overhead in doing that if
the brush size is small.
active image texture node in the material, now this is removed and the image in
the image editor is decoupled and not changed upon entering edit mode.
This system caused more confusion then it's worth, changing or removing textures
would modify the material but users would often not be aware of this.
This was a regression since 55719 and the reason is:
- image_refresh() will tag combo for re-calc when editing mask.
This is a feature, so you could have immediate feedback on masking
and compositing while editing mask. This is done from image_refresh().
- Color management sends NC_WINDOW notifier, so the whole window is
updated when changing color management settings. Image editor used
to refresh space when this notifier is sent.
The same notifier is sent by compositor job to redraw all possible
viewers.
Simple fix: don't refresh image space for NC_WINDOW, there's nothing
in image_refresh() which we would want to happen on NC_WINDOW event.
The Scopes and Histogram (Image editor, Sequencer) were not updating on
changes in color or display settings.
- Missing notifiers for refreshing
- Missing code to draw correct for managed byte buffers.
Previous alpha-overing on black for RGB display wasn't so much useful
for artists, changed in a way:
- Made RGBA display default for node editor backdrop and image editor,
so it'll be clear that image does have alpha channel
- RGB display will ignore alpha channel completely
Reshuffled buttons for RGBA/RGB so now the order is following:
RGBA | RGB | Alpha | Z
Still to come: startup.blend shall be altered to make RGBA default.
- Drawing masks in image editor requires LOCK_DRAW_IMAGE around
ED_space_image_get* functions since they'll acquire image buffer.
Lock is needed because viewers will be modified directly in
compositor (see commend in draw_image_main)
- Seems that was wrong order of invalidating render result and
viewer image invalidation happened in Composite node, which
could easily lead to thread lock.
- 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 :)
With the view3d 'Render Only' option, grease pencil wouldn't draw, but for OpenGL render it did.
Since grease pencil can be very useful in opengl renders, enable grease pencil drawing with 'Render Only' option in the viewport,
and add a checkbox in the grease pencil header not to draw (unchecking each layer is annoying and applies to all spaces).
This commit makes BKE_image_acquire_ibuf referencing result, which means once
some area requested for image buffer, it'll be guaranteed this buffer wouldn't
be freed by image signal.
To de-reference buffer BKE_image_release_ibuf should now always be used.
To make referencing working correct we can not rely on result of
image_get_ibuf_threadsafe called outside from thread lock. This is so because
we need to guarantee getting image buffer from list of loaded buffers and it's
referencing happens atomic. Without lock here it is possible that between call
of image_get_ibuf_threadsafe and referencing the buffer IMA_SIGNAL_FREE would
be called. Image signal handling too is blocking now to prevent such a
situation.
Threads are locking by spinlock, which are faster than mutexes. There were some
slowdown reports in the past about render slowdown when using OSX on Xeon CPU.
It shouldn't happen with spin locks, but more tests on different hardware would
be really welcome. So far can not see speed regressions on own computers.
This commit also removes BKE_image_get_ibuf, because it was not so intuitive
when get_ibuf and acquire_ibuf should be used.
Thanks to Ton and Brecht for discussion/review :)
