--- from his patch
All the functionality is in the console
folder:
- intellisense.py: the central module which loads others on demand
- complete_namespace: more or less a replacement for the old autocomplete.py
- complete_import: module completion (I find this very handy, not just luxury)
These complete_* modules work very simple and should also work outside blender. You give some input and it returns a list with possible completions.
autocomplete.py is now deprecated.
- undo stops all running jobs (operator redo was crashing with threaded render)
- adding new armatures was crashing if there was no valid view3d
- transform with an active hidden object would crash
- replace libtiff by calls to Cocoa services to load/save tiff files
(Libtiff, dynamically linked is not distributed with OS X, and would have had to be shipped for all four architectures)
The imb_cocoaLoadImage & imb_cocoaSaveImage are generic towards the bitmap format, and thus can handle TIFF, GIF, JPG, JP2000, BMP and raw camera formats (read-only for these), even if today only TIFF is used as the other formats are already handled.
- CMake updated
- scons updated (Thx to Jens Verwiebe)
The aim of this is to avoid having to set the selection each time before running an operator from python.
At the moment this is set as a python dictionary with string keys and rna values... eg.
C = {}
C["active_object"] = bpy.data.objects['SomeOb']
bpy.ops.object.game_property_new(C)
# ofcourse this works too..
bpy.ops.object.game_property_new({"active_object":ob})
# or...
C = {"main":bpy.data, "scene":bpy.data.scenes[0], "active_object":bpy.data.objects['SomeOb'], "selected_editable_objects":list(bpy.data.objects)}
bpy.ops.object.location_apply(C)
Will use rotation gimbal axis when an object or bone set to Euler rotation mode is selected (global axis otherwise)
Use case: being able to do rotations that only affect one animation curve in the 3d view instead of just in the curve editor.
I'm committing this right now despite what follows because it's already useful as is.
Known bug: manipulator arrows can look slightly skewed (not really a big problem), but more importantly, rotation circles for the rotation manipulator are skewed and will not perfectly reflect the rotation axis (it will still use the correct one though). That will be fixed shortly.
To do: This orientation should act like Local, where each object/bone uses its own orientation and not just the one of the active object/bone.
Note: Saved files with custom orientations might end up with other orientations selected when being opened up. I don't think it's that useful to make a do_version for that, but I can if warranted.
I tried to make it integrate more with regular render but couldn't
do it well, it still needs a 3D view to take the settings from, and
can't run in a separate thread due to OpenGL.
However, it is now rendering to an offscreen buffer which then gets
displayed in the image window. This requires FBO's to be available, so
a fallback creating a new window is still needed. Currently available
from the Render menu in the top header.
-Continuous Grab is now on by default
-Opened scene panels by default
-Multiple new screens:
*Default (same as before)
*Animation
*Compositing
*Quad View
*Scripting
*UV Editing
*Video Editing
These have been inspired by other Open Movie artists, and their B.blends, including Nathan Vegdahl, Andy Goralczyk, and Bassam Kurdali. The new screens are designed to make optimal use of the new 2.5 UI, and expose newer areas like the compositor, new animation editors and console.
Boolean settings now use TOG instead of ICONTOG when they have icons, since ICONTOG was causing too much trouble with icons changing when they shouldn't be. Perhaps in future there should be some flag for specifying from RNA/UI-Layouts which one you want, but for now, this will do.
Reverting r23936 since that fix depended on ICONTOG behaviour.
* AutoKeying was broken after the fix to get automerge working again in 3D view. The 3D-View check was swallowing the processing before autokeying could be done. Separated these out again.
* The error print when some external data couldn't be found for objects was missing a newline.
