In response to some of the feedback, I've taken a second look at the situation
when multiple views are open, and indeed in that situation having it display in
every region and blinking was quite overwhelming (admittedly, I've mainly been
testing on single-view setups). Now it only shows for the region that was used
for initiating the transform.
By default, this is enabled, so that newbie users who are most likely to be
caught short by this will get the benefits of this option, while seasoned
animators are likely to know where to go to turn things off (i.e. the scratch-
an-itch urge is quite a powerful motivating force...)
Recently on the bf-funboard list, there have been some requests for clearer
indications for animators that autokeying has been enabled when transforming so
that corrective action can be taken sooner if this wasn't expected. This is
especially important in distributed+collaborative environments where multiple
artists may work on a single shot file: someone working on a shot from
another animator may not be aware that autokeying was enabled, thus accidentally
setting a whole bunch of extra keyframes.
In this current incarnation, we display using red (not hardcoded, but using an
existing theme color) a solid 1px border around the 3D view while transforming
with autokeying enabled. In addition to the border, a blinking indicator (record
icon + "Auto Keying On" text) appear in the top right corner, as inspired by the
traditional recording indicator icons on camcorders.
- make view3d project names more consistent.
- remove apply_project_float() its not needed.
- update comments referencing an old function name.
- move doxygen docs into the C file, prefer they are kept here to avoid getting out of sync with code.
Fix deadlock in drawArc caused by precision error. Helper widget could
look wrong, that's because of not enough precision of floats used by
Blender.
This is known issue of Blender and wouldn't consider a bug.
Only visible edges are used to create the "sliding vector". The test used to detect whether edges were visible or not was working for solid shading, but useless in wire draw mode (as all edges are visible in this mode!)...
This commit adds "shift" and numtype to both Bevel and Inset mesh operators.
It also gets rid of the magicnumber used in NumInput to str operation (currently, 20 chars per element, now defined as NUM_STR_REP_LEN in ED_numinput.h).
