Simply add an option to render settings to save an EXR cache,
just when the render is finished. Also changed RE_ReadRenderResult() to read
cache instead of temp sample files (those are fully volatile now anyway).
Path to save cached render results is an UserPreferences setting.
Also added 'Reload render' feature to the Image Editor (so one can now re-open a blend,
and in an Image Editor hit ctrl-R to (try to) reload last render from cache).

After some discussion it seems both are valid defaults but useful for
very different purposes.
- 'free' lets you explore the scene with full 6dof (like fly mode)
- 'orbit' is closer to typical mouse view orbit, constraining to orbiting about a central location.
This doesn't effect orbit/pan which are available with modifier keys.
This aligns the User Preferences > File > Author field and label horizontally, saving space and making it more consistent with author text fields within the same section.
This commit adjusts the spacing of the items in User Preferences > System. The spacing is adjusted via separators between each section of options. This better differentiates between groups of options. It also removes a few extra separators for more consistency.
This is a addtion to the dynamic fly mode.
It behaves as the first person navigation system available in most 3d world games nowadays.
You can alternate between the old mode (Fly) and the new mode (Walk) in User Preferences > Inputs

Shortcuts:
----------
WASD (hold) - Move forward/backward and straft left/right
QE (hold) - Move up and down
Tab - Alternate between Walk and Fly modes
Shift (hold) - Speed up movement
Alt (hold) - Slow down movement
Space or MMB - Teleport
V - Jump
+/- or mouse wheel - speed increase/decrease speed for this Blender session
User Preferences Options:
-------------------------
Navigation Mode - fly/walk navigation systems (fly is the old, walk is the new, next options are for walk mode only)
Gravity - alternate between free navigation and walk with gravity modes
Mouse Sensitivity - sensitivity factor to mouse influence to look around
Teleport Duration - how long the teleport lasts
Camera Height - camera height to use in gravity mode
Jump Height - maximum jump speed in m/s
Move Speed - base move speed in m/s
Boost Factor - multiplication factor when running or going slow (1/boost)
Development Notes:
------------------
* The initial code was based on view3d_fly.c.
* The NDoF code was not touched, so it most likely is not working.
Pending Issues:
---------------
* Draw in the UI the shortcut options, and current values (e.g., Mode: Fly/Walk)
(we need a proper API for that)
* OSX seems to present issues if we re-center the mouse every time. We implemented a workaround for that, but a real fix would be welcome.

- move addon refresh button into header
- uilist, use icon for sorting by name (gives more room for name, icon is used in fileselector for same purpose).
- rename orderby to sort in rna and flag names.
- simplify BKE_nurb_handle_calc_simple
The addons panel draw function calls addon_utils.modules() which in turn retrieves a list of fake modules from the script paths every time. This can become costly when network paths are included for
addons. Solution is to put the scanning process into a dedicated "refresh" function and disable it in frequently called draw and filter functions, i.e. in these cases the cached addons_fake_modules list
will be used instead.
Note that this may lead to invalid addon lists if script paths are changed (which is not working 100% without restart anyway according to Campbell). For this there is now a "Refresh" operator button in
the addons preferences. If necessary and feasible such forced refreshes can be added later too.
Notes:
* Made those edits by full checking of py files, so I should have spoted most needed edits, yet it remains quite probable I missed a few ones, we'll fix if/when someone notice it...
* Also made some cleanup "on the road"!
- making this change now because some addons developers are interested in showing keymap UI in their addons prefs and using the class involved making a fake class instance which isnt needed.
This option replaces previously added GPU limit
option, which became tricky to follow after GLSL
display space conversion.
There're 4 modes available:
- AUTO which will try to guess which mode is
best to use.
Currently It'll try using GLSL and if it fails,
will fallback to 2D textures.
Probably it'll make sense checking on whether
2D textures works well but currently such behavior
shall be sufficient.
Later we could make this method smarter (for example
don't try to use GLSL on certain GPU or so).
- GLSL will currently behave the same way as AUTO,
but it is intended to always try using GLSL
(unless it can not be used because of existing
limitation of dither and RGB curves).
- 2D Textures will use CPU-based color space conversion
and use OGL 2D Texture to display the image.
Image will be displayed in tiles, so there shall be
no big GPU memory consumption.
- DrawPixels will straightly fallback to glDrawPixels
without trying to use any fancy GPU stuff.
Hopefully this will also fix
#34943: Blender crashes when resizing the Compositing Screen Window
* Reflect changes stated in prev commit about contexts in py code.
* Add a "Plural" context, to handle cases where english does not mark plural at all (e.g. shorten labels of only one adjective). Not so happy with that, but can't see any other way to do it, for now.
* Abuse "ID_CURVE" context for all falloff curves (this should solve some confusion issues, e.g. "sharp"...).
This simply adds a third "translation type" (in addition to iface and tip), "new data", with relevant user settings flag and helper funcs/macros (and py api).
Currently implemented name translation when adding new objects, as well as modifiers and constraints, will add the others (cd layers, scenes, perhaps nodes [though I think they do not need this], etc.) later.
(Did not add those when I created that module, because I did not thought we would actually need them in usual UI code, but turned out I was wrong).
Also made some optimizations in those py gettext funcs, when i18n is disabled at build time, no need to do pyobject -> cstring -> pyobject conversions!.
As per discussion and analysis of all trackpad usage, we now
follow this convention:
- Blender follows system setting for trackpad direction preference.
- If you set your system to "natural" scroll, we need to invert a couple
of cases in Blender we do "natural" already. Like:
- view rotate (the inversed option just never feels ok)
- scroll active items in list or pulldown menu (up/down is absolute)
- ALT+scroll values in buttons (up/down is absolute)
The new User Preference setting "Trackpad Natural" handles this.
For 2.66 we only have trackpad handling for OS X... so this isn't
affecting trackpad usage in Windows and Linux, which stick to be mapped
to Scroll Wheel still.
(Note: viewrotate now is "natural" always, changing how it worked in the
past weeks).
Added "Panel Title" style to Theme settings.
Allows to make these nice larger or draw differently.
Also tried to put hinting in Style, but this needs to be a per-font
setting. uiFont data is still not being saved (also not allowing
to set own font files for UI). That's a todo for 267 then.
