- for adding an operator, start with a blank name and dont write the default one. (still writes each name you type in, will need to fix this properly)
- move the AddPresetBase class into presets.py since all the presets are defined there.
however this meant the invoke function could not modify properties for exec to use (unless it called exec directly after)
since the popup for eg would re-instance the python class each time.
now use the operator properties directly through rna without an automatic copy.
now an operator attribute is accessed like this...
self.path --> self.properties.path
- python defined classes will be used when available (otherwise automaically generated metaclasses are made as before)
- use properties rather then functions for python defined rna class's
- call the classes getattr AFTER doing an RNA lookup, avoids setting and clearing exceptions for most attribute lookups, tested UI scripts are ~25% faster.
- extending rna py classes this way is a nicer alternative to modifying the generated metaclasses in place.
Example class
--- snip
class Object(bpy.types.ID):
def _get_children(self):
return [child for child in bpy.data.objects if child.parent == self]
children = property(_get_children)
--- snip
The C initialization function looks in bpy_types.py for classes matching RNA structure names, using them when available.
This means all objects in python will be instances of these classes.
Python properties/funcs defined in ID py class will also be available for subclasses for eg. (Group Mesh etc)
- separated python console from the interactive console
- added shell console type (simple example)
- console types are autodetected and can be selected in the menu
- more detailed exceptions (always give file:line incase the python exception doesnt)
- fix some errors in the edit docs
editing docs still fails, need to figure out why.
