* Buttons header: made tab buttons bigger, remove view menu,
replaced by RMB menu in main region.
* Timeline header: tweak button placement and alignment, added
a play reverse icon.
* Window type chooser menu: removed audio and scripts windows,
change console and logic icons.
* Node space: disable the channel region until it is used.
Summary of ain features:
- Themes and Styles are now editable.
- CTRL+U "Save user defaults" now goes to new .B25.blend, so you
can use 2.4x and 2.5x next to each other. If B25 doesn't exist, it
reads the regular .B.blend
- Press Tkey in 3d window for (unfinished) toolbar WIP. It now only
shows the last operator, if appropriate.
Nkey properties moved to the other side.
A lot of work was done on removing old themes for good and properly
getting it work with the 2.5 region system. Here's some notes;
- Buttons now all have a complete set of colors, based on button classifications
(See outliner -> user prefs -> Interface
- Theme colors have been extended with basic colors for region types.
Currently colors are defined for Window, Header, List/Channels and
for Button/Tool views.
The screen manager handles this btw, so a TH_BACK will always pick the
right backdrop color.
- Menu backdrops are in in Button theme colors. Floating Panels will be in
the per-space type Themes.
- Styles were added in RNA too, but only for the font settings now.
Only Panel font, widget font and widget-label work now. The 'group label'
will be for templates mostly.
Style settings will be expanded with spacing defaults, label conventions,
etc.
- Label text colors are stored in per-space Theme too, to make sure they fit.
Same goes for Panel title color.
Note that 'shadow' for fonts can conflict with text colors; shadow color is
currently stored in Style... shadow code needs a bit of work still.
* Made it based on string lookups rather than fixed enum, to make
it extensible by python scripts.
* Context callbacks now also have to specify RNA type when returning
pointers or collections. For non-RNA wrapped data, UnknownType can
be used.
* RNA wrapped context. The WM entries are fixed, for data context
only main and scene are defined properties. Other data entries have
to be dynamically looked up.
* I've added some special code in python for the dynamic context
lookups. Tried to hide it behind RNA but didn't find a clean way to
do it yet. Still unused/untested.
* Also minor fix for warning about propertional edit property in
transform code, and fix for usage of operator poll with checking if
it was NULL.
Smaller jobs, all in one commit!
- Moved object_do_update out of view3d drawing, into
the event system (currently after notifiers).
Depsgraph calls for setting update flags will have to
keep track of each Screen's needs, so a UI showing only
a Sequencer doesn't do objects.
- Added button in "Properties region" in 3D window to set
or disable 4-split, including the 3 options it has.
(lock, box, clip)
- Restored legacy code for UI, to make things work like
bone rename, autocomplete.
- Node editor now shows Curves widgets again
- Bugfix: composite job increased Viewer user id count
- Bugfix: Node editor, not "Enable nodes" still called
a Job, which didn't do anything
- Various code cleaning, unused vars and prototypes.
use of function pointers in the context callbacks. Apparently
MSVC decides that some of these functions are the same and
makes them into a single function with the same address. I
couldn't figure out if this was a compiler bug or according
to the C spec. Regardless, that means this method can't be
used, so now it uses separate CTX_DATA_DEFINES.
Compositor now uses threaded jobs.
- updates happen per preview node! Check this file for
fun: http://www.blender.org/bf/composite_image.blend
(any compo node could get preview!)
- had to ensure the composite data gets fully copied before
it executes thread, so editing is not frustrated.
- put back node buttons (missing init)
- added WM_jobs api call to check for running job,
illustrated with red light icon in 'use nodes' button.
- added another callback to WM_jobs, to initialize.
use this init to ensure you only do it when job really
starts.
- added an extra notifier option for WM_jobs, to signal
finished job (like redraw image view)
- fixed file read error, it copied the screen it read,
instead of using it.
- commented out annoying prints for missing ops in imagewin
Font object + editing back.
Was quite some work due to a myriad of globals all over!
Works nicely 100% local now.
To enable a single textedit operator, I've added a new
keymap entry KM_TEXTEDIT, which gives all keyboard events
to the handler. Also had to add a new keymap-add function
to force a keymap handler in beginning of region handlers.
In future this can be used to prioritize handlers.
Also: split off the arrow keys (frame change) to a separate
region level handler. Can be set with default flag in
regiontype->keymapflag ED_KEYMAP_FRAMES
Added WM Jobs manager
- WM can manage threaded jobs for you; just provide a couple
of components to get it work:
- customdata, free callback for it
- timer step, notifier code
- start callback, update callback
- Once started, each job runs an own timer, and will for
every time step check necessary updates, or close the
job when ready.
- No drawing happens in jobs, that's for notifiers!
- Every job stores an owner pointer, and based on this owner
it will prevent multiple jobs to enter the stack.
Instead it will re-use a running job, signal it to stop
and allow caller to re-initialize it even.
- Check new wm_jobs.c for more explanation. Jobs API is still
under construction.
Fun: BLI_addtail(&wm->jobs, steve); :)
Put Node shader previews back using wmJobs
- Preview calculating is now fully threaded (1 thread still)
- Thanks to new event system + notifiers, you can see
previews update even while dragging sliders!
- Currently it only starts when you change a node setting.
Warning: the thread render shares Node data, so don't delete
nodes while it renders! This topic is on the todo to make safe.
Also:
- bug in region initialize (do_versions) showed channel list in
node editor wrong.
- flagged the channel list 'hidden' now, it was really in the
way! This is for later to work on anyway.
- recoded Render API callbacks so it gets handlers passed on,
no globals to use anymore, remember?
- previewrender code gets now so much nicer! Will remove a lot
of stuff from code soon.
* [Use nodes] added. For future improvements: a panel which enumerates
materials, textures and scenes for selection and editing in the opened
node-editor without having to set it in Buttons (or 'global' scene).
Commit of WIP code (what code isn't wip, these days ;)
- only drawing code as basis to work further from (and have less conflicts between different systems I work on)
Small area/space api fix: space->new() callbacks now require
Context pointer. Too many cases you want to initialize stuff...
Also: added dummy draw function for NLA channel region, was
too ugly.
Context API
This adds the context API as described here. The main practical change
now is that C is not longer directly accessible but has to be accessed
through accessor functions. This basically adds the implementation of
the API and adaption of existing code with some minor changes. The next
task of course is to actually use this design to cleanup of bad level
calls and global access, in blenkernel, blenloader.

Error, Warning and Debug Info Reporting
This adds the error reporting API as described here. It should help
clean up error() calls in non-ui code, but eventually can become used
for gathering messages for a console window, and throwing exceptions
in python scripts when an error happens executing something.

Now, preset view configurations are only to be used if they define all (scrollers not included) relevant settings for the view they are set for. This should be less confusing than in the previous situation with V2D_COMMONVIEW_TIMELINE stuff.
One implication of this though, is that all Animation Editors (for example), will have to define their own version of the relatively commonly shared info. However, given the great diversity in the range of settings each have, this should not be too much of an issue.
Also, added a 'standard' view config for main 'window' regions. At this stage, it is recommended that this view config should be used only as a placeholder template on which a set of custom settings could be based. I've put it into use for the buttons window/scripts window/info window so far.
Improved the View2D API so that initialising View2D data in init() callbacks (called on new regions and also on resizing regions) for regions is easier.
Added a few preset view configurations for use when initialising new views. Views with the V2D_IS_INITIALISED flag set will not be reinitialised in the init() callbacks. Currently, some of these configurations will set/override all settings (like V2D_COMMONVIEW_LIST and V2D_COMMONVIEW_HEADER), while other ones serve a more supplimentary role (i.e. V2D_COMMONVIEW_TIMELINE only sets the x-axis settings, relying on the region to have already set the relevant y-axis settings).
The future of such supplimentary configurations is yet to be seen, as I'm currently not sure whether they will cause the code to become too confusing, as you'd have to keep track of which settings belong/are set where. So far, only a few areas have been ported to use this. Tomorrow I'll check on a few more.
As this commit touches a lot of files, hopefully there aren't any critical bugs I've missed here.
* Scrollers now draw using nice rounded+shaded style everywhere
* When scrollers 'bubble' completely fills a scroller or is completely out of view, the view zooming using the handles is now only activated if the mouse is within a quarter of the total length of the scroller on either end of the scroller. Otherwise, pan is activated. This should make the scrollers more usable in anim editors.
* Fixed drawing of gridlines in TimeLine - needed to adjust ymin value of cur and tot rects to accomodate for the new mask/cur adjustments as old TimeLines didn't draw with 'real' scrollbars. Also, adjusted min/max values to fit these new tot/cur rect y-sizes.
* Tidying up vars and fixing errors in declaring new View2D types in preparation for simpler method of initialising views...
