* Fractional frames support has been changed to use a new var, scene->r.subframe.
This is a 0.0-1.0 float representing a subframe interval, used in generating a final float
frame number to evaluate animation system etc.
* Changed frame_to_float() and some instances of bsystem_time() into a convenience function:
float BKE_curframe(scene) which retrieves the floating point current frame, after subframe
and frame length corrections.
* Removed blur_offs and field_offs globals. These are now stored in render, used to
generate a scene->r.subframe before render database processing.
path -> filepath (for rna and operators, as agreed on with elubie)
path -> data_path (for windowmanager context functions, this was alredy used in many places)
- added relative option to saving external multires data
- renamed multires external functiosn to have save / pack as suffix.
- added TODO's for file select operators that should support relative paths but dont.
- also disable openmp on linux cross compile, mingw currently isnt linking -lgomp
Animators were having trouble selecting keyframes and their handles when zoomed in extremely. This commit seems to fix these issues, which appear to have resulted from some overflowing ints, which gave out-of-view handles priority quite often.
This panel allows editing of the coordinates of the 'first selected keyframe' on the Active F-Curve. That is, if you've got keyframes A (5), B (7), and C (12), and B & C are both selected, then the 'active keyframe' will be B.
While I still think it's more efficient to use the cursor for batch-setting a bunch of keyframes, there are currently problems using that for sub-frame placement on the x-axis.
Notes:
- There is none of the averaging crap from before, where no accurate value could ever be set.
- Take care when setting the values of the handles, since getting correct F-Curve recalc flushing working via the RNA stuff is VERY TRICKY, and has been left out for now to get something workable. I recommend setting the values numerically, then grabbing these keyframes and immediately cancelling, to get these updates done.
This was caused by the multi-user data appearing multiple times in the channel list. Now most editing functions filter out duplicates before doing anything to prevent these problems.
Hopefully the additional cost of filtering the entire list an extra time won't be too much of a speed/mem hit...
Early when implementing the Graph Editor in 2.5, a key complaint that was levelled at the old 'IPO Editor' was that it was a constant annoyance that adjacent handles were getting selected in addition to the keyframes, when only the keyframes were intended. I solved this by making this default to only selecting keyframes and ignoring the handles, but this means that it isn't possible to batch move several handles at once.
I've now improved this situation by adding an option to the border select operator (involved using Ctrl-B instead of B) which makes the handles get treated separately (as if they were separate verts, as in 2.4x). The default is still to only select keyframes, to have consistency with the DopeSheet...
Also performed some more renaming work in the code...
Curve sampling minimum 'sampling frequency' for display could get too low causing a hang (with really-slow convergence). Clamping with a coarses limit now.
C functions and python used different argument order, this relied on mapping non-keyword arguments to 'REQUIRED' arguments but meant that you could not have an optional, non-keyword argument.
next commit will make order of arguments consistant (currently only changed order that rna wrapped).

Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
* Copy/Paste operators for F-Modifiers
Available in Graph and NLA Editors. Use the Copy/Paste buttons beside the 'Add Modifier' buttons.
Copy copies all the modifiers of the ACTIVE F-Curve or Strip depending on the editor.
Paste pastes modifiers from the buffer to all the selected F-Curves or Strips, adding the new modifiers to the ends of each list.
* 'Stepped Interpolation' F-Modifier
This modifier holds each interpolated value from the F-Curve for several frames without changing the timing.
This allows to preview motions 'on-twos' for example without altering the timing, or having to go through setting heaps of keyframes. In this case, Andy wanted to use this for CG <-> StopMo.
- Replaced hardcoded nurbcol array with theme colors
- Send notification in duplicate curve operator (this operator could
reset/change active nurb)
- Edge seam color added to the user preferences dialog
(A masterclass in killing a bug using a sledgehammer...)
Recoded the way that Graph Editor keyframe selection works, replacing the old penalties + closest vert system with a selection queue.
Perhaps the sensitivity tolerance for picking up when a vert is clicked on is too sensitive now, but this can be fixed easily.
1) Decreased the alpha value for unselected F-Curves in the Graph Editor, making them more invisible to help make the selected ones stand out more.
2) Removed various outdated settings from pose bone RNA
- recode of the whole sequencer audio handling
- encode audio flag removed, instead you choose None as audio codec, added None for video codec too
- ffmpeg formats/codecs: enabled: theora, ogg, vorbis; added: matroska, flac (not working, who can fix?), mp3, wav
- sequencer wave drawing
- volume animation (now also working when mixing down to a file!)
- made sequencer strip position and length values unanimatable
This commit adds a few more execution contexts for operators, given the increasing tendency for some special regiontypes to exist within areas that must have their own set of special operators.
Examples of these include the "channel" operators in the Animation Editors (i.e. those in the 'Channels' menu), and the "Fit to Preview Window" operator for the Sequencer.
Previously, operators such as these would not function when clicked on from the menus, and they would not show the hotkeys they were mapped to.
Also, fixed a few operator definitions in the Animation Editors which were missing ot->prop defines. This meant that some hotkeys (mainly selection) were shown incorrectly in the menus.
This commit introduces the Select More/Less Operators (Ctrl +/-) for keyframes. This works like the ones for curves, by only selecting/deselecting keyframes lying in the same F-Curve. Inter F-Curve selection is not done by this operator. That is the job for another one.
This is especially useful for F-Curves set in the 0-1-0 pattern (i.e. 3 keyframes forming localised peaks), where the peaks can be selected by clicking on them individually, and immediately surrounding '0' values are selected too using "Select More".
Thanks to a great doc from Bassam (slikdigit) on the different types of handles (which should probably become/be part of future 2.5 docs), I've revised the code again so that this works well again.
The doc:
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dvgkxj6_1d8cpfw79
Fixed the operators for DopeSheet/Graph Editors responsible for setting the "auto-clamped". This option is actually per F-Curve instead of per handle, and the code here should function like it did in 2.4x
However, despite this, it still appears to work oddly IMO. Any comments Bassam or animators familiar with the intentions of this?
* Old files imported to 2.5 with curves that got cycles FModifiers added during version patching, would not have their keyframes shown for editing.
* #20893: Can't see/show the Properties area in the NLA
I don't know why this worked on a few of my test files several months ago, and yet now fails for many files today.
This commit introduces a few cleanups and tweaks to the way that timecodes (i.e. the timing indications used instead of frame numbers) get displayed.
1. Custom Spacing of TimeCodes/Gridlines
Made the minimum number of pixels between gridlines/timecode indications a user-preference, instead of being a hardcoded constant. This allows to set the spacing tighter/looser than the defaults, and is also used for the other changes.
2. Default timecode display style, (now named 'minimal') uses '+' as the delimeter for the sub-second frames. This hopefully makes it a bit clearer what those values represent, as opposed to the '!', which can sometimes look too much like a colon.
3. Added various timecode display styles as user-preference. - These include always displaying full SMPTE, to showing milliseconds instead of frams for sub-second times, and also an option to just show the times as seconds only.
- When changing the timecode style, the spacing setting is automatically modified so that the timecodes are spaced far apart enough so that they won't clash (under most circumstances). This automatic modification is only done if the spacing is too tight for the style being set.
4. Unified the code for generating timecode strings between the View2D scrollbar drawing and the current frame indicator drawing.
The 'save over' popup was only appearing based on a string comparison of the operator name ("Save"). Changed this to use a hidden operator property: "check_existing". Python operators must
have this property for the file selector confirmation too.
This property can also be set to false, to prevent checking for existing files, useful in the File->Save menu item to prevent the dangerously missable confirmation popup.
Blender too now! :)
** Drag works as follows:
- drag-able items are defined by the standard interface ui toolkit
- each button can get this feature, via uiButSetDragXXX(but, ...).
There are calls to define drag-able images, ID blocks, RNA paths,
file paths, and so on. By default you drag an icon, exceptionally
an ImBuf
- Drag items are registered centrally in the WM, it allows more drag
items simultaneous too, but not implemented
** Drop works as follows:
- On mouse release, and if drag items exist in the WM, it converts
the mouse event to an EVT_DROP type. This event then gets the full
drag info as customdata
- drop regions are defined with WM_dropbox_add(), similar to keymaps
you can make a "drop map" this way, which become 'drop map handlers'
in the queues.
- next to that the UI kit handles some common button types (like
accepting ID or names) to be catching a drop event too.
- Every "drop box" has two callbacks:
- poll() = check if the event drag data is relevant for this box
- copy() = fill in custom properties in the dropbox to initialize
an operator
- The dropbox handler then calls its standard Operator with its
dropbox properties.
** Currently implemented
Drag items:
- ID icons in browse buttons
- ID icons in context menu of properties region
- ID icons in outliner and rna viewer
- FileBrowser icons
- FileBrowser preview images
Drag-able icons are subtly visualized by making them brighter a bit
on mouse-over. In case the icon is a button or UI element too (most
cases), the drag-able feature will make the item react to
mouse-release instead of mouse-press.
Drop options:
- UI buttons: ID and text buttons (paste name)
- View3d: Object ID drop copies object
- View3d: Material ID drop assigns to object under cursor
- View3d: Image ID drop assigns to object UV texture under cursor
- Sequencer: Path drop will add either Image or Movie strip
- Image window: Path drop will open image
** Drag and drop Notes:
- Dropping into another Blender window (from same application) works
too. I've added code that passes on mousemoves and clicks to other
windows, without activating them though. This does make using multi-window
Blender a bit friendler.
- Dropping a file path to an image, is not the same as dropping an
Image ID... keep this in mind. Sequencer for example wants paths to
be dropped, textures in 3d window wants an Image ID.
- Although drop boxes could be defined via Python, I suggest they're
part of the UI and editor design (= how we want an editor to work), and
not default offered configurable like keymaps.
- At the moment only one item can be dragged at a time. This is for
several reasons.... For one, Blender doesn't have a well defined
uniform way to define "what is selected" (files, outliner items, etc).
Secondly there's potential conflicts on what todo when you drop mixed
drag sets on spots. All undefined stuff... nice for later.
- Example to bypass the above: a collection of images that form a strip,
should be represented in filewindow as a single sequence anyway.
This then will fit well and gets handled neatly by design.
- Another option to check is to allow multiple options per drop... it
could show the operator as a sort of menu, allowing arrow or scrollwheel
to choose. For time being I'd prefer to try to design a singular drop
though, just offer only one drop action per data type on given spots.
- What does work already, but a tad slow, is to use a function that
detects an object (type) under cursor, so a drag item's option can be
further refined (like drop object on object = parent). (disabled)
** More notes
- Added saving for Region layouts (like split points for toolbar)
- Label buttons now handle mouse over
- File list: added full path entry for drop feature.
- Filesel bugfix: wm_operator_exec() got called there and fully handled,
while WM event code tried same. Added new OPERATOR_HANDLED flag for this.
Maybe python needs it too?
- Cocoa: added window move event, so multi-win setups work OK (didnt save).
- Interface_handlers.c: removed win->active
- Severe area copy bug: area handlers were not set to NULL
- Filesel bugfix: next/prev folder list was not copied on area copies
** Leftover todos
- Cocoa windows seem to hang on cases still... needs check
- Cocoa 'draw overlap' swap doesn't work
- Cocoa window loses focus permanently on using Spotlight
(for these reasons, makefile building has Carbon as default atm)
- ListView templates in UI cannot become dragged yet, needs review...
it consists of two overlapping UI elements, preventing handling icon clicks.
- There's already Ghost library code to handle dropping from OS
into Blender window. I've noticed this code is unfinished for Macs, but
seems to be complete for Windows. Needs test... currently, an external
drop event will print in console when succesfully delivered to Blender's WM.
* Adding new Keying Set paths didn't initialise the id-type setting. Make this default to Object
* Fixed bad poll callbacks for Graph Editor operators working on keyframes, which were expecting F-Curves to be selected too to be eligible for editing. This was often too restrictive, resulting in nothing happening.
* Fixed error with default property for Debug Redraw-Timer Operator not being set. However, this operator is currently still no use, since the info popups are now disabled.
Added flags for the mapping function offering more control over what values were affected and when. In the WIP code, the values for unselected verts were getting the restoration conversion being repeatedly applied, resulting in the values tending to zero.
F-Curves now internally store radians again instead of degrees.
- This solves problems with inconsistencies when working with drivers.
- No need to version patch old files, potentially screwing them up. As such, removed the version patching for F-Curves.
- Is better suited to optionally showing radians throughout the UI instead or degrees.
As a result, values are now converted on the fly in the Graph Editor for display and operators that operate on values. I've made the conversion system for this rather general, so that other unit type conversions can also be hooked up with the type conversion backend.
Also, made some tweaks to F-Curve RNA wrapping to make it represent the data better.
TODO:
- Transform code currently still needs to be corrected to work with these changes. Currently moving keyframes for rotation curves will make them change too rapidly vertically when using degrees.
Wrong filters were used for F-Curves for adding the modifiers. Now the Graph Editor curve visibility settings are only taken into account for this when the hotkey version (i.e. only_active == False) is used, which means that the button works again.
Pushed limits for Graph Editor view extents to proper limits, and fixed clamping used in View2D code which was preventing height of View2D viewports from getting below 1.0
