The dragging sequence is performed in four phases:
- Start sequence (GHOST_kEventDraggingEntered) that tells a drag'n'drop operation has started. Already gives the object data type, and the entering mouse location
- Update mouse position (GHOST_kEventDraggingUpdated) sent upon each mouse move until the drag'n'drop operation stops, to give the updated mouse position.
Useful to highlight a potential destination, and update the status (through GHOST_setAcceptDragOperation) telling if the object can be dropped at the current cursor position.
- Abort drag'n'drop sequence (GHOST_kEventDraggingExited) sent when the user moved the mouse outside the window.
- Send the dropped data (GHOST_kEventDraggingDropDone)
- Outside of the normal sequence, dropped data can be sent (GHOST_kEventDraggingDropOnIcon). This can happen when the user drops an object on the application icon. (Also used in OSX to pass the filename of the document the user doubled-clicked in the finder)
Note that the event handler is responsible for freeing the received data.
And the mouse position is sent directly in blender client coordinates (y=0 at bottom)
The GHOST_setAcceptDragOperation(TRUE) call must be placed before the user drops the object for it to be accepted.
Current handled data types :
- Text string
- Array of filenames (full paths)
- Bitmap image (not implemented yet)
There was very little structure in this code, using many globals
and duplicated code. Now it should be better structured. Most
things should work, the main parts that are not back yet are the
python plugins and markers. Notes:
* Blenfont is used for drawing the text, nicely anti-aliased.
* A monospace truetype font was added, since that is needed for
the text editor. It's Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. This is the
default gnome terminal font, but it doesn't fit entirely well
with the other font I think, can be changed easily of course.
* Clipboard copy/cut/paste now always uses the system clipboard,
the code for the own cut buffer was removed.
* The interface buttons should support copy/cut/paste again now
as well.
* WM_clipboard_text_get/WM_clipboard_text_set were added to the
windowmanager code.
* Find panel is now a kind of second header, instead of a panel.
This needs especially a way to start editing the text field
immediately on open still.
* Operators are independent of the actual space when possible,
was a bit of puzzling but got it solved nice with notifiers,
and some lazy init for syntax highlight in the drawing code.
* RNA was created for the text editor space and used for buttons.
* Operators:
* New, Open, Reload, Save, Save As, Make Internal
* Run Script, Refresh Pyconstraints
* Copy, Cut, Paste
* Convert Whitespace, Uncomment, Comment, Indent, Unindent
* Line Break, Insert
* Next Marker, Previous Marker, Clear All Markers, Mark All
* Select Line, Select All
* Jump, Move, Move Select, Delete, Toggle Overwrite
* Scroll, Scroll Bar, Set Cursor, Line Number
* Find and Replace, Find, Replace, Find Set Selected,
Replace Set Selected
* To 3D Object
* Resolve Conflict
it is now in a state where it can be safely
merged with trunk.
Note: basic icons were provided but I'm not
an icondesigner and working in a 16x15 grid
is way too small for me, so feel free to
change them.
- Moved WIN32 code to ghost and added code for other systems.
- Added functions getClipboard(flag), and putClipboard(buffer, flag)
-Flag is used on X11 to request selection buffer or clipboard.
-If any other system uses flag = 1 the function returns doing nothing.
- Changed ctrl +c/v and shift+ctrl + c/v to do the same thing (use the clipboard).
- Changed the menu items (copy, paste) to use the clipboard.
work only in non camera mode in 3D view
need the external plug-in to be compiled separately
line 894 of ghostwinlay.c must be replaced with
values adapted at your system
see mailing list for features planned and how
to use
notes :
it compiles but is non functional
lacks the platform specific changes in ghost ( i cant test windows)
lacks the code for plug-in.
the platform specific code will be added when we sync with Ettore work
the plug-in itself cannot be added here
I took out the following from the includes in the intern dir that still had
it:
-#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
-#include <config.h>
-#endif
