- 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.
added _prop suffix to ui functions which take a prop rather then a propname, may change this later since its not that nice but for gsoc branches this keeps existing UI functions working the same.
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
* they were too slow for dynamic python enums, calling the callback
to list the items for each button, to get a tooltip
* enum tooltips sometimes were showing the same description twice
mouse coords would with cont. grab would wrap at short.
use mouse coords as int rather then short.
this problem still happens on linux because of XTranslateCoordinates
- ghost C api, BLI_get_folder_version() could assign garbage values.
- pointcache ptcache_find_frames_around() had a superfluous NULL check which would have crashed anyway if actually NULL.
Disable this for pointer buttons since this was intended for vgroups & uvlayers.
Pointer buttons often reference ID's which can be in the 1000+, lookups like this on each button draw is not useful since invalid pointers here will likely crash on scene evaluation.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
- modifier code was using sizeof() without knowing the sizeof the array when clearing the modifier type array.
- use BLI_snprintf rather then sprintf where the size of the string is known.
- particle drawing code kept a reference to stack float values (not a problem at the moment but would crash if accessed later).
Report was that move-to-layer menu failed. The real cause was
more complex; had to dive deep in the dungeons of the interface
code that handled undos and operators. Found several issues:
- popup menus (like redo operator, color picker) executed again
on a mouse-exit
- far too many buttons were sending undo pushes; even worse, in
the operator redo-panel each button action was pushed twice
- in case operator redo-buttons have own callbacks (like layer
buttons) the redo wasn't working
- layerbutton menu was called without creating a proper undo/redo
case
Things should all work smoother now!
On todo:
- better definition and handling of all versions for operator menus
(four types now, not fun)
also: make operator "do" menu, which on first action does operator
and then switches to redo-ing
- bring back Undo menu, to list the undo stack and jump in it.
UI name buttons with Search callback show red when item couldn't be
found. The check was too simple though, since the searches also find
partial matches. This caused KeyingSet browse to show red for "RotScale".
Now 10 matches are stored, and each match is being checked. Still a
bit weak for cases with more than 10 matches, but in that case it
won't show red-alert.
[#25159] Vertex locations dont read correctly and are not labeled correctly in the properties bar.
- non rna buttons can now have units set.
- calls with invalid units system now raises an assert().
- include .mxf in filter.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
WM_operator_poll() could fail in cases WM_operator_name_call() would succeed because calling the operator would setup the context before calling poll.
this would result in python raising an invalid error or menu items being greyed out.
now python can also check with an operator context:
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle.poll('INVOKE_SCREEN')
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
