The bug was 'write_still' was incorrectly being initialized to 'view_context'.
'write_still' should always write an image, so failing silently here is bad behavior.
Also, opengl render and internal render engine operator should use this option the same way.
- OpenGL still render failed when output format was set to Movie.
Now it just doesn't save a file and renders anyway.
- Bone heat weight was missing 'wait cursor'.
- Waitcursor for Mac Cocoa is back! Made all OS's use the same
nice hourglass cursor.
(Note: this violates Mac UI guidelines, we should rely on the
spinning wheel of death instead. Highly disputable that.)
A note for branch users: CMake 2.8 on 64-bit Windows Vista raised
an error in line 948 of soc-2008-mxcurioni/CMakeLists.txt due to
an invalid argument for the blender_include_dirs macro:
blender_include_dirs(${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
The command above should be:
blender_include_dirs("${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR}")
Having 2 windows open, rendering to image editor, activate other
window and press F11 -> UI went haywire. Simple fix prevents
render output to be closed in this case.
Material Node trees:
SSS wasn't displaying in Nodes.
Implementation notes:
- Currently copying local data for preview render, only copies
the base material. Node materials are re-used.
- This causes data to be in 2 "main" databases... complex.
- To make it work for preview, I had to add another loop in the
SSS code that checks the original Main dbase. That's marked
as warning in code to be fixed up.
Another bug:
- Material properties "SSS presets" copied settings to the
active material, not to the displayed one. Added RNA call
to retrieve this from Objects.
(Next commit will fix preset scripts)
Preview render for node shaders broke, caused by localizing
materials last week, to prevent thread crashes. Fixed now.
Also added a temp fix to draw color-management corrected
node previews default. Will follow scene setting tomorrow.
Also: SSS in nodes doesn't render yet. Was issue in 2.4 too...
SSS preview render didn't happy.
Was caused by using a Material copy for preview renders (to prevent
crashing in other cases). There were actually 2 errors:
- material copy should be added to preview-main database
- the render was invoked using wrong main database even!
only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.
Material Node shaders: displaying GLSL + rendering previews crashed.
Reason was non-safe threaded access to material nodes. Now, on a preview
render, a full copy of Material is being made.
OpenGL viewport render gave squeezed results in cases.
Reason: some graphics cards only give offscreen buffers in multiples
of 256 or 512 (my case).
Current fix uses the actual size returned by graphics card, which
is also safe for too large renders.
More elaborate cropping or matching is for another time.
(Added printf for feedback on this, might disappear)
The main reason to have this is so renders can be scripted to write to a specific file without having to do annoying tricks like set a dummy start/end frame range, render an animation and work out the current frame image will be written to, then rename after rendering.
Also made some 'char *' args into 'const char *'
Issue: in user preferences window, using file selecting caused the
the userpref window to be saved, and not closing.
Reason: design error (by me) in using screen->full tag for denoting
a temporarily screen (like file window). Fixed by using a new
screen->temp variable for it.
System remained unstable though, noticed another issue with freeing
temp screens in wrong places. Seems nice stable now! Will check on
the wiki for relarted issues now.
The scenes 'Render' is kept by blender while blender runs but the callbacks were not cleared when the render was done.
In this case the callback would reference a freed render job.
This isn't normally a problem because on re-rendering new callbacks are set, however the sequencer can render a previously rendered scene without setting up callbacks.
Simple fix is to to dummy callbacks applied onto the scenes 'Render' struct once its finished.
globbing vs explicit is discussed here.

Practical implications are:
- developers need to keep CMakeLists.txt files up to date.
- Users wont get strange linking errors if they build after a file is added, since CMake detects CMakeLists.txt is modified and automatically reconfigure.
Both stored the filename of the blend file, but G.sce stored the last opened file.
This will make blender act differently in some cases since a relative path to the last opened file will no longer resolve (which is correct IMHO since that file isnt open and the path might not even be valid anymore).
Tested linking with durian files and rendering to relative paths when no files is loaded however we may need to have some operators give an error if they are used on the default startup.blend.
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
- 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
