This commit refactors the way that the Motion Paths GUI works. The key problems
this tries to address are:
1) Mode error - Confusion about whether we're dealing with the Object or Pose
level Motion Paths panel
2) Display settings vs Baking Settings
In line with the original design intentions for the 2.5/6 Properties Editor,
I've now split out the actual baking-related settings away from the Properties
Editor:
* Now, when clicking "Calculate Paths" from the toolbar, you'll be prompted with
a dialog to select the start/end frames (and for bones, whether to bake from
heads or tails). This is less confusing than relying on firstly setting the
range via the display range settings (and baking using that), since many people
apparently only used the "around current" mode, and were confused why things
weren't working
* Added a display of the frame ranges of the current baked Motion Path on the
active Object/Bone. This makes it clearer/easier to debug if the path suddenly
starts disappearing after a certain frame.
* Replaced Calculate/Clear Paths in the panels with a single "Update" button if
there's already a baked Motion Path.
Hopefully these changes (in combination with some of the other bugfixes) will
make it more obvious how everything works.
- Make sure functions are named in way BKE_<object>_<action> (same way as RNA callbacks)
- Make functions which are used by mball.c only static and remove their prototypes
from public header file.
Further cleanup is coming.
also made some other improvements
- make it work in weight paint vert sel mode (some unused code for this was in the function).
- add factor slider.
- add to weight paint toolbar.
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
problem was that BMesh had tessellation call when undo pushes were called.
if python called an operator with no undo push, tessfaces would not be created.
fix this by making it the responsibility of each editmesh operator to re-tessellate, as it is with notifiers and depsgraph.
added EDBM_update_generic() function to add notifier, tag for depsgraph update and optionally re-tessellate.
Was missed check for if modifier is available for particular object type
which ended up with unpredictable results when modifier which isn't supported
yet for some object type as linked to that object type.
