Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
Basically it's a clean keyframes tool, but also removes a channel if the
only remaining keyframe has the default value only and is not used by
drivers or generative modifiers.
It's was used to help with performance of keyframe-heavy scenes in
gooseberry.
Note, as always the curve left after the clean tool is used is not the
same as the original, so this tool is better used before doing custom
editing of fcurves and after initial keyframe insertion, to get rid
of any unwanted keyframes inserted while doing mass keyframe insertion
(by selecting all bones and pressing I for instance)
This works by using the distance in the x axis only (usually artists want to influence nearby
keyframes based on timing, not value). Tweaking handles is the same as tweaking
the central handle. It's a bit ambiguous if proportional editing is really meaningful
for handles but will leave that for artists to decide.
Turned out that I misinterpreted the feature request, plus there are some
minor issues with the commit that would need to be corrected.
After all, I decided to just remove it again as it seems to not be really
useful for the users.
Auto View automatically adjusts the view based on selection, so that the view is
always focused on the current selection.
A checkbox in the header is used to access it and it works for the following
selection methods: Toggle All, Border, Circle, Lasso, Left, Right, More, Less,
Linked, Column (so all except of single selection, in which this can be a bit
annoying)
Reviewed by @Aligorith (thanks for that :) )
For now, did most of the changes in menu entries (i.e. py space UI scripts).
Note we do not get 100% same results as previously, but current situation is
globally better than previous one, though the whole system to retrieve shortcuts
remains a bit weak...
and graph editor.
This was a tricky commit that was not so straightforward to make work.
The information for bones is not easy to come by in the animation curves,
however we do have some string manipulation tricks to make it happen.
Testing in gooseberry worked for the rigs there, commiting to master now
In the process, I've removed the old operator (ANIM_OT_channels_visibility_set)
and folded that option in with the hide operator, to make this consistent
with how this is done in the 3D view and other parts of Blender.
Revised the tools for managing which FCurves are visible in the Graph Editor
curves area. Now, there are the following tools in place:
* V (channels region only) = Hide all curves except those in selected channels [OLD]
* H = Hide all selected curves [NEW]
* Shift-H = Show all previously hidden curves [NEW]
I've removed the old operator to toggle visibility status of selected curves,
as it doesn't seem that useful anymore.
Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

This commit introduces support for a number of new interpolation types
which are useful for motion-graphics work. These define a number of
"easing equations" (basically, equations which define some preset
ways that one keyframe transitions to another) which reduce the amount
of manual work (inserting and tweaking keyframes) to achieve certain
common effects. For example, snappy movements, and fake-physics such
as bouncing/springing effects.
The additional interpolation types introduced in this commit can be found
in many packages and toolkits (notably Qt and all modern web browsers).
For more info and a few live demos, see [1] and [2].

Added two options to a header of FCurve editor:
- Normalize which makes it so every individual
curve is fit into -1..1 space.
- Auto-normalize, which probably is to be called
"Lock" which "locks" curve normalization scale.
This is useful to prevent curves from jumping
around when tweaking it.
It's debatable whether it need to be a button to
normalize curves n purpose only, and it's fully
depends on animator's workflow.
Here during Project Pampa we've got Francesco
who get used to auto-renormalization and Hjalti
who prefers locked behavior.
Docs are to be ready soon by Francesco.
Thanks Brecht for the review!
This commit introduces operators to customise the grouping of F-Curves. As
groups are only available in Actions, these grouping operators only work in the
Dopesheet, Action Editor, and Graph Editor (Animation) modes.
To Use:
* Ctrl-G = Group selected F-Curves
* Alt-G = Ungroup selected F-Curves
* or find these tools from the Channels menu
Notes:
* When invoking the grouping operator from the Channels menu, the name popup
won't show up. Instead, the group(s) created will be created with the default
name. To fix, you can either use the F6 operator properties edit OR manually
edit the names (Ctrl-LMB on the relevant channel)
DopeSheet/Action Editor Channel menus were not working properly
They were not allowing users to choose which setting they affected, which
resulted in "protect" (i.e. the same setting as the editability toggle handles)
always being used.
Also, set hidden flags on a few internally used properties here...
This operator used to be called "Jump to Frame". It basically takes the midpoint
(frame number and/or value) of selected keyframes, and positions the current
frame (or2d-cursor in Graph Editor) at this point.
The hotkey for this is now Ctrl-G (i.e. as it's similar to a "Goto Frame"
feature). It is also now in the Key menu instead of in the relatively obscure
View menu, even though it doesn't actually result in any keyframe edits taking
place.
(Also, fixed a typo/grammer issue with one of Remove Bone Group operator)
This commit restores the group colours support for F-Curves and F-Curve Groups
in the DopeSheet and Graph Editors. Currently the relevant settings for groups
are only exposed via RNA, but a followup commit will add support for
automatically setting these colours. By default, DopeSheet and Graph Editors are
set to display these colours if/when they are available.
This functionality used to be in 2.48, and is a useful mechanism for visually
distinguishing between channels for different controls when animating (if group
colours are used on the rigs too).
from Troy Sobotka (sobotka), with edits
- remove Markers from Ctrl+L menu (was out of place here and was broken from recent changes to marker operators)
- further de-duplicte scripts by having all menus call the same function: marker_menu_generic().
this fixes bug [#29083] too.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
* Code cleanup in the space_*.py files.
* Removed layout.column() statement in _MT_ panels, they are useless.
* Only define variables at the beginning of a function!
