- #2646 reported by Campbell: Python/Fileselector (moving from fileselector called by script to another space caused script to hang around open but not accessible)
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2646&group_id=9
- #2676 reported by Wim Van Hoydonck: 2.37 python scripts gui: event 8 ignored (thanks Ton for discussing / pointing what to do, Ken Hughes for also working on a fix)
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2676&group_id=9
- gui-less scripts with calls to progress bar inside fileselector callbacks didn't return to the previous space on exit (staying on Scripts win), requiring an event to do so (mouse movement, for example). Quick fix for now, will rework a little after 2.37a for a better alternative, not needing to move to the Scripts win at all.
- added syntax colors access to Window.Theme module.
Scripts:
- updates by Jean-Michel Soler: svg2obj (svg paths import), tex2uvbaker, fixfromarmature;
- updates by Campbell Barton: obj import / export, console;
- tiny: converted vrml97 export to unix line endings;
- updates in ac3d exporter, help browser, save theme.
Thanks all mentioned above.
- fixing bug reported by Paolo Colombo: space handler slinks set for a 3d view were not set when the area got maximized;
- Blender.Object: added object.isSB() method to know if an object is a soft body (has ob->soft != NULL). Used in fixfromarmature.py.
Scripts:
- updates: batch_name_edit (Campbell), fixfromarmature (JMS);
- additions:
X3D exporter by Bart;
Envelope Suite by Jonas Petersen;
BVH 2 Armature by Jean-Baptiste Perin;
Camera Changer by Regis Montoya (3R);
Interactive Console by Campbell (ideasman).
- tiny updates in other scripts.
- Scripts:
fixed error in "Save Current Theme" which prevented it from automatically updating script registration in menus.
cosmetic changes in a couple of Campbell's sel_same.py script strings + more descriptive name for its new menu place (3d view, face mode -> select menu).
small updates to help_browser.py script.
The above changes are related to this:
- Added new script menu entries: Render (for exporters to renderers), Themes, FaceSelect (this already at the proper place). Updated Scripts win->Scripts menu so it won't show all available entries, only the ones we mean to see there.
- Updated menu registration so that scripts folders can become trees. The release/scripts/ dir should be updated soon with subdirs like converters/, modifiers/, generators/ or whatever -- better discuss first (or is it? /me afraid of long irc discussions during meetings :) ).
- Modules:
Blender: added 'udatadir' option to .Get() function and added var Blender.mode to tell if Blender is in bg or interactive mode.
NMesh: added Campbell's nmesh.transform(matrix, recalc_normals = False) method (reworked, so my fault if it doesn't work).
- Bugs fixed:
#2123: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2123&group_id=9
Reported by Ken Hughes (thanks!), who also found the exact problem later (it was in Text.Load, not with script links -- if only I had checked emails these days ... lost > 1 hour today to find the problem: passed filename to M_Text_Load was later being written over by a function called by add_text). Also saw that Text.Load wasn't checking existence of passed filename (duh!), now it does.
#1655: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1655&group_id=9
Reported by Chris Want (thanks!): command line "blender -P script" not working properly for bg mode ("blender -b blendfile -P script").
Had to make some small updates to get it working (bg mode for scripts was never explicitely handled, it worked due to collateral effects, let's say), interested readers can check the report after I update it or the API_intro.py doc file. After more testing we can make further updates. Updated many places to not call redraws if in bg mode, now it is officially available. Blender outputs its own info when rendering in bg mode, if that is considered a nuissance we'll have to add a few "if (during_script())" calls outside bpython.
- Removed a few warnings here and there and also updated docs.
- Added Blender.UpdateMenus() + doc: so scripts can automatically update Blender menus when they create (or download or whatever) new scripts to be registered.
- Removed a long deprecated function from the Blender module (release dict).
Matt (broken) mentioned the UpdateMenus function a couple weeks ago. I also updated the Save Current Theme script to use it. This is all related to his ideas to use scripts to save and restore themes and e.g. render presets.
-- adding help_browser.py to show help for installed scripts;
-- updated scripts to include basic doc info to be shown with above script:
script authors can / will / should update with more info, of course;
-- updated some scripts to newer versions: disp_paint, fixfromarmature, hotkeys, etc.
- small updates to the docs;
- Object: small fix to getMatrix: check during_script() to avoid undesired loops; added old behavior (pre 2.34) as option: .getMatrix('oldlocal');
- tentative fix for bug #1275: scene REDRAW scriptlinks were not being executed (the call to do so was missing):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1275&group_id=9&atid=125
added the call in drawview.c, in drawview3dspace(). This causes the scriptlink to be called for each visible view3d, but that's what happens with object redraw scriptlinks, too. Anyway, this is still a test. The place was chosen based on the idea that a scene redraw scriptlink is like an object redraw one, but for all objs in the scene at once.
- Window.Theme: new submodule, to get/set theme options in Blender;
- Added the script save_theme.py (Help menu for now), to save the current theme in Blender as an executable script (currently shown in the Scripts->Misc menu).
There's more work to do for themes, like defining a proper place for them in the interface, adding documentation (for now the added script and the ones it generates can give a pretty good idea of how to use the new module), probably extending themes to support SpaceScript and so on.
