This commit basically implements frames prefetching for
movie clip datablock.
Number of frames to be prefetched is controlled in User
Preferences, System tab, Prefetch Frames option.
Currently prefetching is destructive-less for movie cache,
meaning mo frames will be removed from the cache when while
prefetching. This is because it's half of simplier to
implement, but it also makes sense from tracking point of
view -- we could want to playback in both directions and
removing frames from behind time cursor is not always a
good idea.
Anyway, smarter prefetching strategy could be developed
later.
Some implementation notes:
- Added MEM_CacheLimiter_get_memory_in_use function to get
memory usage of specified memory limiter.
- Fixed prototype of MEM_CacheLimiter_get_maximum which
was simply wrong (used wrong data type for output).
- Added some utility functions to movie clip and movie
cache for direct cache interaction and obtaining cache
statistics.
- Prefetching is implemented using general jobs system.
which is invoking from clip draw function.
- Prefetcing will stop as soon other job or playback starts.
This is done from performance point of view. Jobs will
likely require lots of CPU power and better to provide
whole CPU to it.
Playback is a bit more complicated case. For jpeg sequence
playback prefetching while paying back is nice. But trying
to prefetch heavy exr images and doing color space
conversion slows down both playback and prefetching.
TODO:
- Think of better policy of dealing with already cached frames
(like when cached frames from other clips prevents frames
from current clip to be prefetched)
- Currently a bit funky redraw notification happens from
prefetch job. Perhaps own ND_ is better to have here.
- Hiding clip while prefetch is active in theory shall stop
prefetching job.
- Having multiple clips opened on file load will prefetch
frames for only one of them.
To make circle select allow pass-through for view events, several issues have to be
tackled.
1) other modal ops run on top (border select),
2) middlemouse is used now
3) and what for tablet/trackpad or people without middlemouse?
The MMB deselection for border/circle is not optimal now... needs rethinking this.
Better would be to check on non-persistant-modality for circle, to start with gesture style
event like lasso or border can do now.
Zooming in on images in Image window now shows pixels again (was filtered).
Now the glaDrawPixelsTex() and glaDrawPixelsAuto() have an argument to
define if images should zoom in with linear filter, or draw pixels.
This patch allows Blender to display i18n monospace font in the text
editor and the Python interactive console. Wide characters that occupy
multiple columns such as CJK characters can be displayed correctly.
Furthermore, wrapping, selection, suggestion, cursor drawing, and
syntax highlighting should work.
Also fixes a bug [#34543]: In Text Editor false color in comment on cyrillic
To estimate how many columns each character occupies, this patch uses
wcwidth.c written by Markus Kuhn and distributed under MIT-style license:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c
wcwidth.c is stored in extern/wcwidth and used as a static library.
This patch adds new API to blenfont, blenlib and blenkernel:
BLF_get_unifont_mono()
BLF_free_unifont_mono()
BLF_draw_mono()
BLI_wcwidth()
BLI_wcswidth()
BLI_str_utf8_char_width()
BLI_str_utf8_char_width_safe()
txt_utf8_offset_to_column()
txt_utf8_column_to_offset()
- RGBA images (without alpha) now don't draw with alpha blending enabled
- Checkerboard backdrop for alpha images now shows on size of image
- Window always clears now, in very dark grey (so you can see black)
- On resizing window, the aspect of image is being kept, keeping the
image always visible within the window frame
- Image now centers OK.
- On pause, playback now halts (it was drawing same image all the time)
This adds border option to compositor, which affects on
a backdrop and viewer nodes, which is useful for faster
previews and tweaks.
Final compositing still happens for the whole frame, but
if it'll be needed it's not so difficult to support it
as well.
To use border there's Ctrl-B shortcut in the compositor
editor, which i used to define region you want to restrict
compositing to. There's also "Viewer Border" option in
the N-panel in case you'll want to disable border
compositing.
Some areas could be cleaned a bit, like ideally it shall
not be viewer image clearing in viewer_border_update RNA
callback, but currently it's not so much clear how to
make it the same fast as simple memset and glue it
somehow to compositor. Will think of nicer solution a
bit later.

More use of bool type, necessitating adding inclusion of BLI_utildefines.h, or moving it up in the inclusion order if it was already included, in various places
- storage.c: make some variables only used in bli_builddir local to that
- storage.c: BLI_file_descriptor_size should allow 0 as a valid file descriptor
- path_util.c: make pointers to non-reentrant storage returned from folder routines const, necessitating making variables holding these returned pointers const elsewhere as well
- path_util.c: BLI_string_to_utf8 closes iconv context in case of conversion error
- blf_lang.c: fill_locales routine now has its own "languages" local variable to construct paths (was stealing internal storage belonging to BLI_get_folder before)
This makes it easier and useful to investigate alpha channels,
without this straight colors are displayed on the screen which
are completely useless in case of player.
besides performance in some cases.
* DAG_scene_sort is now removed and replaced by DAG_relations_tag_update in
most cases. This will clear the dependency graph, and only rebuild it right
before it's needed again when the scene is re-evaluated.
This is done because DAG_scene_sort is slow when called many times from
python operators. Further the scene argument is not needed because most
operations can potentially affect more than the current scene.
* DAG_scene_relations_update will now rebuild the dependency graph if it's not
there yet, and DAG_scene_relations_rebuild will force a rebuild for the rare
cases that need it.
* Remove various places where ob->recalc was set manually. This should go
through DAG_id_tag_update() in nearly all cases instead since this is now
a fast operation. Also removed DAG_ids_flush_update that goes along with
such manual tagging of ob->recalc.
ShrinkFatten operator now uses scale key to toggle 'Even thickness' option.
With the default keymap this is Alt+S,S.
Added functionality so the header print can get the key used for the modal keymap, some other operators should make use of this too.
* Color picker cursor was too small, and color cirle was not smooth enough.
* Border select gesture cross before first click did not reach to the border
of the window.
* Buttons were not drawing emboss properly (also for non-retina actually).
Note it doesn't draw entirely right for aligned buttons, but this was also
the case before it got broken.
