* Moved ICON_BLENDER away from (0,0) spot in blenderbuttons, since ICON_BLENDER=0 define is conflicting ICON_NULL define as well as with logic checks for nonzero icon id.
* This solved bug where ICON_BLENDER can't be set from Python as well as when using new UI functions from within Blender.
Now, rather than the bit-too-alarming stop sign, threaded wmJobs
display a progress indicator in the header. This is an optional feature
for each job type and still uses the same hardcoded ui template
(could use further work here...).
Currently implemented for:
Render - parts completed, then nodes comped
Compositor - nodes comped
Fluid Sim - frames simulated
Texture Bake - faces baked
Example: http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/progress.mov
* new icon for split view (at least temporary)
* icon buttons in header rather than popup menus for better efficiency (can easily be changed in python UI script again)
Now, temp screens are hidden from being accessed directly, with a new 'Back to Previous' button appearing in place of the screen menu when (for example) fullscreen render image areas are present. Window type menus also get disabled here too, to prevent things from getting too mixed up.
* Buttons header: made tab buttons bigger, remove view menu,
replaced by RMB menu in main region.
* Timeline header: tweak button placement and alignment, added
a play reverse icon.
* Window type chooser menu: removed audio and scripts windows,
change console and logic icons.
* Node space: disable the channel region until it is used.
This includes a bunch of new object primitive icons
which would be great to get into the 'add object' menus,
they're not there yet. The specific lamp data type icons
are now used in the outliner though, which is very helpful.
- cleaned up warnings (mostly unneeded variables)
- new icons for filebrowser (large refresh and parent icons missing though)
- fixed error in large icon drawing due to texture coordinates calculated outside subpart of texture.
- removed library loading stuff from filelist
Brecht, please let me know if I haven't done the right thing with the RNA stuff - I thought it was easier to ask for forgiveness than approval in this case :)
* Added a cute 'RNA' icon
* After several hours of manual dragging and typing the icon file is now
enlarged and completely reorganised logically, rather than scattered
throughout. This should provide a lot more room for growth, and is a
lot easier to work with (also allowing more space for toggle buttons
that require two icon slots next to each other). The icon grid has now
25 x 24 icons - hopefully this might last us for a couple more years :)
Some of the naming of icon defines is a bit ancient and can be cleaned
up a bit further. Other devs, if when bringing spaces back, it's
finding the wrong icon, or missing a define, try and look to see if
it's already existing in the new icon file, or drop me a note and I'll
fix it up.
Note: after these changes, older custom blender 2.4 icon
files won't work and will need to be updated to the new layout.
* Enlarged the icons themselves from 15x16 pixels to 16x16 pixels (icon
designer request). This is a more standard size, and is easier to fit
stuff in proportionally.
* Added a bunch more of jendrzych's icons that weren't added previously
since there wasn't space in the icon file (including a few more
modifier icons)
* Tweaked the outliner somewhat, so that instead of just showing a
generic 'object' icon for all objects, it shows 'object type' icons,
per object type. This makes the outliner a lot more useful for browsing
at a glance - a huge row of identical 'object' icons doesn't really
give much useful information. See here:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/outliner_obtypes.png
Part 3/3: new icons
- Icon set done by jendrzych! Great job!
- cleaned up unnecessary includes and removed commented out code
- preview icons (for materials, textures,..) don't work yet, have to be ported to new event system
=======================
Merge of branch soc-2008-quorn to trunk:
Merged 14970:16308 to trunk@16307, updated to HEAD.
Merged 16318
Main features from this branch:
- Python text plugins
- Suggestions and documentation elements
- Improved syntax highlighting
- Word wrap
- Additional editing tools
- Various undo and clipboard fixes
- File header info and modification checks
---------------------------------------------------
Snappy stuff
* Align rotation with snapping target: rotate the object, aligning it with the target (object mode only - temporarily) (New icon in the header when snap is turned on)
* Snap to different mesh elements (face, edge, vertice): snapping target slide on faces and edge or use exact position of vertice. When using Align rotation with edge snapping, the normal is interpolated as you slide along.
Snaps correctly to derived mesh (sculpt, modifiers, ...) and duplis. In object and edit mode.
NOTE: The snapping code is now based on faces, so even if you're snapping to vertices or edges, it will not work on meshes without faces. This might change if needed.
The latter is now obsolete and will be soon
removed.
Some tiny build tweaks for darwin committed
in preparation of bigger changes for proper
SDK suport both on intel and ppc
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.
added icon for 'Toggle Bookmark Area'
disabled the bookmarks for databrowse
allow to add path inside .blend file (could be nice to use as material library for example)
Based on feedback from Ton, I've recoded the way "PoseLibs" are implemented/exposed. Therefore, quite a bit of code has been changed to fit this in better.
Now, ANY ACTION can be a "PoseLib". A set of Markers which belong to the Action (it's taken a year, but they're finally back), are used to tag "poses" in the Action. These markers are shown using diamond-shaped blue icons (designed by Matt Ebb) in three shades - unselected/normal, selected, active.
Notes:
* Each Armature Object has an Action which acts as a PoseLib.
* Improved UI presented in buttons panel for this
-- added proper buttons for action assigning
-- renamed "Validate PoseLib" to "Auto-Sync PoseLib" (this option auto-tags poses based on keyframes found)
Like in the 3d-view, use the hotkeys:
* Shift-L to add a local marker
* Ctrl-Shift-L to rename a local marker
* Alt-L to delete selected local markers
Note: transforms, etc. are not currently available with these markers
== PoseLib Preview ==
Added a few features here:
* Left/Right-Arrow keys now change the poses too (previous and next respectively)
* Up/Down-Arrow keys also change the poses, but "jump" to a pose 5 steps away in their respective directions
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewritehttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.
Changed how the sticky setting is stored in DNA - (as a char rather then 2 flags).
replaced the UV/FACE icon with another needed for the sticky menu.
removed 2 unused icons.
commented the UV transform panel since it only had 2 buttons in it.
depgraph update calls needed to be added to Ctrl+V/E/F menu's because some commands were crashing.
Added new defines for the icons used to show this, on the request of Matt Ebb. For now, the eye icons have simply been duplicated to the new spaces, but 'more descriptive' icons should be made.
Added new icons by 'jendrzych' for sculpt mode and transform snapping. I'll be
doing a lot more on this in the next release cycle, but I'm bringing these icons
over now since they're new features and we don't really have any icons for them
at the present.
Snap/Grid icon button in 3D view header (edit mesh). FIXME NOTICE: make nice looking icons (yes, that's for you Matt)
When snap is on, a drop down appears for the target method (closest, median, center)
Hotkey to toggle snap is Shift-Tab (this was previously used for a not totally equivalent to Tab. Ton said OK to scrap it). That hotkey is currently restricted to edit mesh (where snap is currently restricted).
Changed a couple of ugliness on how snap settings are stored.
