set the draw method to triple buffer or overlap depending on the
configuration. Ideally I could get all cases working well with triple
buffer but it's hard in practice. At the moment there are two cases
that use overlap instead:
* opensource ATI drives on linux
* windows software renderer
Also added a utility function to check GPU device/os/driver.
This commit introduces a few cleanups and tweaks to the way that timecodes (i.e. the timing indications used instead of frame numbers) get displayed.
1. Custom Spacing of TimeCodes/Gridlines
Made the minimum number of pixels between gridlines/timecode indications a user-preference, instead of being a hardcoded constant. This allows to set the spacing tighter/looser than the defaults, and is also used for the other changes.
2. Default timecode display style, (now named 'minimal') uses '+' as the delimeter for the sub-second frames. This hopefully makes it a bit clearer what those values represent, as opposed to the '!', which can sometimes look too much like a colon.
3. Added various timecode display styles as user-preference. - These include always displaying full SMPTE, to showing milliseconds instead of frams for sub-second times, and also an option to just show the times as seconds only.
- When changing the timecode style, the spacing setting is automatically modified so that the timecodes are spaced far apart enough so that they won't clash (under most circumstances). This automatic modification is only done if the spacing is too tight for the style being set.
4. Unified the code for generating timecode strings between the View2D scrollbar drawing and the current frame indicator drawing.
- Keyconfig are now marked as user_defined when it is the case
- Import keyconfig operator: select an exported keyconfig .py file, copies it to the scripts folder (keep the original copy if wanted, default True), imports and select as active config. The active keyconfig is stored in the user default file, so that still has to be saved after import.
- Remove keyconfig operator and button next to the keyconfig name (poll False if not user_defined). Removes the keyconfig from the list and deletes the file from the folder.
Remaining bug: The file is copied in the user defined script folder (if present) or the /scripts/ui folder. The problem is that it might be imported before operators defined in python are imported themselves. One solution would be to use a separate folder for keyconfigs that is imported after all others.
Works correctly with menu, keymap definitions and keymap export/import.
Properties set in the macro definition overwrite those set by the user (there's no way to see that in the UI at this point).
MISSING: Python operator calling code to fill in the properties hierarchy.
Also contains some keymap export changes by Imran Syed (freakabcd on irc): the exported configuration will use the name of the file and the exported script will select the added configuration when ran.
This patch by Guillaume Lecocq (lguillaume) adds user preference settings for setting the playback frame-rate and delay between captured frames for the screencasting feature.

I've made a few tweaks for a few minor issues
- Made DNA vars for these settings shorts instead of ints, reducing the number of unnecessary extra pad vars
- Added version patching to ensure that these settings are initialised by default
- Made tooltips for the settings more descriptive
* Added a generic 'histogram' ui control, currently available in new image editor
'scopes' region (shortcut P). Shows the histogram of the currently viewed image.
It's a baby step in unifying the functionality and code from the sequence editor,
so eventually we can migrate the sequence preview to the image editor too,
like compositor.
Still a couple of rough edges to tweak, regarding when it updates. Also would
be very nice to have this region as a partially transparent overlapping region...
* Added Theme support for the console.
You can change:
-Header Color
-Text Color of Output, Input, Info and Error Messages. (Inside the User Preferences -> Themes)
*Some more cleanup.
*Renamed active_theme to theme_area, active_theme will be useful, when we have multiple themes again.
*New layout (Theme Area selection is now expanded).
ToDo:
* Nice wrapping of all options for the different spaces, either manual or via auto generation.
Some items are missing, some are in different positions, altough they are available in different areas.
NVidia (at least) GL drivers don't provide correct picking through GL_SELECT when the GL context is initialized with sample buffers.
So we can't have FSAA on for now as it breaks border,lasso,.. select.
* Moved 'change shortcut' (previously directly RMB on menu items) to a context-menu item, and added Remove Shortcut and Add Shortcut. This is all available now in a RMB context menu for operator buttons and menu entries.
* Renamed a bunch of key maps to be consistent with UI names, and human-readable. Since these key map names are now being directly used in the UI for people to find things, they should be understandable and in plain language.
This renaming may break some older saved key map setups - though previously saved .b25.blends should convert over ok. Exported .py files may need some find/replacing - in this commit check the changes in resources.c to see what's changed.
Takes into account the hierarchical structures of keymaps as well as wildcards (KM_ANY) in event definitions, user remaps (emulate numpad, action/select mouse buttons, ...) and event values that overlap (click, press and release)
For now, doesn't do anything other than print conflicts in the console.
As a result, I cleaned up a lot of keymaps that had double definitions, moved some keymap items in more appropriate places, fixed wrong definitions and removed kmi that were added for testing a long long time ago.
Out of all the remaining conflicts, after removing obvious non-issues, here's what remains: http://www.pasteall.org/9898
New unique ID per keymap item (unique inside their keymap) for default and configuration keymaps.
This allows restoring a single user defined kmi to its previous (default or config) values instead of having to restore the whole keymap.
The restore item button is disabled for kmi added by the users (they don't have an ID).
Also fixes a bug in the rna function for add keymap item (parameter order was incorrect, messing adding back saved configurations).
Now the key maps are displayed in a hierarchical list which you can
browse through. As well as in the main list, modal key maps are also
available in context, for example, if you unfold out a Transform key
map item, you'll be able to fold out and access its modal key map underneath.
More work to do, including search, better operator browsing, etc.
Still need to revise the ordering/hierarchy and clean up naming to be
consistent too, it's a bit of an 'evolved' mess right now.
Thanks to theeth for some initial work here too.
* Added a User-Pref option for the "XYZ to RGB" colour-mode setting for new F-Curves to compliment the one used for Keying Sets. With this option enabled, the builtin Keying Sets also can obey this option.
* Made all places that were previously manually checking the flags for keyframing to use a standard API function to do this now.
* Fixed bug introduced earlier today in commit 25353 by reverting the changes to keyingsets.c. Forgot that delete_keyframe doesn't handle do the "entire array" hack with array_index = -1
* Fixed bug with the insert-keyframe code for the array_index = -1 case, where too many channels were being keyed (i.e. an imaginary channel was often keyed in addition to the valid ones)
On ubuntu/debian install these tools...
sudo apt-get install pylint pyflakes python-setuptools python-pip
sudo pip install pep8
then run from blenders source dir...
python release/test/pep8.py
This searches for the comments "# <pep8 compliant>" and "# <pep8-80 compliant>", running the checking tools on these scripts only.
* some minor pep8 corrections too.
customisable player.
You can choose a player in User Preferences -> File Paths. You can
choose a plan custom command line, otherwise there are presets available
for the Blender 2.4 player or DJV (where it will give it the correct filename,
fps, etc on the command line). So for example if you have a Blender 2.4
version installed, you can enter the path to the blender 2.4 executable,
and the playback will work just like before.
Any info on other frame players (FrameCycler? pdplayer?) and their
command line settings could be useful for adding some more presets too,
if anyone knows of them.
It's available in Render->Play Rendered Animation (Ctrl F11)
* Massive Code Cleanup, still not "Layout Code Guidelines" conform, but much better.
* Commented out buttons that don't work yet, like translation buttons.
* Some minor shuffling around of buttons in "System" Tab. William: Feel free to modify that, still some room for improvements. :)
