This way we can do predictable key-shortcut-chaining. Eg.
Shift+A, M, O --- adds a metaball cone.
In editmode
Ctrl+V, X, A --- Assign new vertex group.
This commit reshapes a bit runtime button info getter, by adding a new uiButGetStrInfo() which accepts a variable number of uiStringInfo parameters, and tries to fill them with the requested strings, for the given button (label, tip, context, RNA identifier, keymap, etc.). Currently used mostly by existing ui_tooltip_create(), and new UI_OT_edittranslation_init operator.
It also adds a few getters (to get RNA i18n context, and current language iso code).
Finally, it adds to C operators needed for the py ui_translation addon:
*UI_OT_edittranslation_init, which gathers requested data and launch the py operator.
*UI_OT_reloadtranslation, which forces a full reload of the whole UI translation (including rechecking the directory containing mo files).
For the first operator to work, it also adds a new user preferences path: i18n_branches_directory, to point to the /branch part of a bf-translation checkout.
When adding extra context data in a layout using uiLayoutSetContextPointer, this info was not inherited by popup menus generated in this layout. While operators from regular buttons work fine, the data is missing in operators from menus and such. This patch copies the bContextStore from buttons to the new uiLayout used for popups.
from luke frisken (lfrisken), with some edits.
some tooltip colors weren't visible with different backgrounds, now the base tooltip color is used and tinted for python/alert/shortcuts etc. the tint colors are still hard coded.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
- use more logical names for strings, noticed too many strings called `str` when reviewing name patch.
- pass __func__ macro to uiBeginBlock(), quite a few names were wrong (copy/paste error).
bug was that uiPupMenuSaveOver(...) could run the WM API call function which freed the operator, within the low level invoke function which kept using the freed memory.
Changed uiPupMenuSaveOver(...) to only show a popup so the caller needs to check if the file exists and should be immediately written (which was done everywhere except for blend saving anyway).
* added note that operators invoke/exec funcs cant call WM_operator_call(...) on themselves, ends up using freed memory.
* added BLI_is_file(path), checks the file exists and isnt a directory.
If enter is pressed outside of any button in menu, generate two menu return values:
- UI_RETURN_CANCEL so button wouldn't be executed
- UI_RETURN_POPUP_OK so callback associated with popup block would be executed
