- Python script to crossfade two sound strips in the sequencer
- Fix for the libsamplerate code producing awful audio when resampling sequencer strips
- Changed default resampler to a linear one (as temporary workaround for a bug that seems to be in the samplerate code)
- Fix for the OpenAL device to return a more accurate playback position
- recode of the whole sequencer audio handling
- encode audio flag removed, instead you choose None as audio codec, added None for video codec too
- ffmpeg formats/codecs: enabled: theora, ogg, vorbis; added: matroska, flac (not working, who can fix?), mp3, wav
- sequencer wave drawing
- volume animation (now also working when mixing down to a file!)
- made sequencer strip position and length values unanimatable
* Smoke got it's own thread loop now and can be esc'ed now
* Apple OpenMP bug workaround until they fix the GCC (couldn't test this one)
* removing some "static" keyword to prevent crashing on frame display
* should also fix problems with wavelet.noise crashing (Bug #20710)
Fluid:
* sleep delay has been reduced to be more responsive
* Fluid progress is displayed in percent using the mouse cursor (like smoke)
- IK-Solver interfaces were still converting units from degrees to radians. Made these all use radians now.
- Tried to fix the DOF limits drawing. This is still not totally functional again yet, but at least there are visible lines now.
The '+' in the cursor during the DND operation is displayed only if drop is accepted.
(through a previous call to GHOST_setAcceptDragOperation(window, TRUE); )
With continuous grab on, in 2+ window setup, when RMB-dragging an object in a 3D view of a not active (not frontmost) window, mouse cursor was stuck, with no escape.
Cursor grab must be done by the window that is key (able to receive mouse move events).
When the user double-clicks on a document file in the Finder, OSX doesn't simply give the filename as a command-line argument when calling Blender, as it is done in other OSes.
Instead, it launches the app if needed, and then sends an "openFile" event.
The user can also open a document file by dropping its icon on the app dock icon. But as this is not real Drag'n'drop, I've renamed the Ghost event to a less confusing "GHOST_kEventOpenMainFile" name.

Cocoa can still send events (tagged with the correct NSWindow handle) after having sent the window deactivate event.
This caused these events being discarded as there was no active window for GHOST_WindowManager.
Fix is to use this NSWindow handle to retrieve the target window and correctly push the event.
E.g. of effects of this bug: OSKey modifier stuck after having invoked Spotlight through its shortcut (Cmd + Space). This gave the impression the Blender window has not got focus back for the keyboard.
Ton, can you confirm if this fixes the "Cocoa window loses focus permanently on using Spotlight" issue you found ?
Blender too now! :)
** Drag works as follows:
- drag-able items are defined by the standard interface ui toolkit
- each button can get this feature, via uiButSetDragXXX(but, ...).
There are calls to define drag-able images, ID blocks, RNA paths,
file paths, and so on. By default you drag an icon, exceptionally
an ImBuf
- Drag items are registered centrally in the WM, it allows more drag
items simultaneous too, but not implemented
** Drop works as follows:
- On mouse release, and if drag items exist in the WM, it converts
the mouse event to an EVT_DROP type. This event then gets the full
drag info as customdata
- drop regions are defined with WM_dropbox_add(), similar to keymaps
you can make a "drop map" this way, which become 'drop map handlers'
in the queues.
- next to that the UI kit handles some common button types (like
accepting ID or names) to be catching a drop event too.
- Every "drop box" has two callbacks:
- poll() = check if the event drag data is relevant for this box
- copy() = fill in custom properties in the dropbox to initialize
an operator
- The dropbox handler then calls its standard Operator with its
dropbox properties.
** Currently implemented
Drag items:
- ID icons in browse buttons
- ID icons in context menu of properties region
- ID icons in outliner and rna viewer
- FileBrowser icons
- FileBrowser preview images
Drag-able icons are subtly visualized by making them brighter a bit
on mouse-over. In case the icon is a button or UI element too (most
cases), the drag-able feature will make the item react to
mouse-release instead of mouse-press.
Drop options:
- UI buttons: ID and text buttons (paste name)
- View3d: Object ID drop copies object
- View3d: Material ID drop assigns to object under cursor
- View3d: Image ID drop assigns to object UV texture under cursor
- Sequencer: Path drop will add either Image or Movie strip
- Image window: Path drop will open image
** Drag and drop Notes:
- Dropping into another Blender window (from same application) works
too. I've added code that passes on mousemoves and clicks to other
windows, without activating them though. This does make using multi-window
Blender a bit friendler.
- Dropping a file path to an image, is not the same as dropping an
Image ID... keep this in mind. Sequencer for example wants paths to
be dropped, textures in 3d window wants an Image ID.
- Although drop boxes could be defined via Python, I suggest they're
part of the UI and editor design (= how we want an editor to work), and
not default offered configurable like keymaps.
- At the moment only one item can be dragged at a time. This is for
several reasons.... For one, Blender doesn't have a well defined
uniform way to define "what is selected" (files, outliner items, etc).
Secondly there's potential conflicts on what todo when you drop mixed
drag sets on spots. All undefined stuff... nice for later.
- Example to bypass the above: a collection of images that form a strip,
should be represented in filewindow as a single sequence anyway.
This then will fit well and gets handled neatly by design.
- Another option to check is to allow multiple options per drop... it
could show the operator as a sort of menu, allowing arrow or scrollwheel
to choose. For time being I'd prefer to try to design a singular drop
though, just offer only one drop action per data type on given spots.
- What does work already, but a tad slow, is to use a function that
detects an object (type) under cursor, so a drag item's option can be
further refined (like drop object on object = parent). (disabled)
** More notes
- Added saving for Region layouts (like split points for toolbar)
- Label buttons now handle mouse over
- File list: added full path entry for drop feature.
- Filesel bugfix: wm_operator_exec() got called there and fully handled,
while WM event code tried same. Added new OPERATOR_HANDLED flag for this.
Maybe python needs it too?
- Cocoa: added window move event, so multi-win setups work OK (didnt save).
- Interface_handlers.c: removed win->active
- Severe area copy bug: area handlers were not set to NULL
- Filesel bugfix: next/prev folder list was not copied on area copies
** Leftover todos
- Cocoa windows seem to hang on cases still... needs check
- Cocoa 'draw overlap' swap doesn't work
- Cocoa window loses focus permanently on using Spotlight
(for these reasons, makefile building has Carbon as default atm)
- ListView templates in UI cannot become dragged yet, needs review...
it consists of two overlapping UI elements, preventing handling icon clicks.
- There's already Ghost library code to handle dropping from OS
into Blender window. I've noticed this code is unfinished for Macs, but
seems to be complete for Windows. Needs test... currently, an external
drop event will print in console when succesfully delivered to Blender's WM.
* Better (and windows enabled) OpenMP handling (> 2x-5x speed)
* More Volumetric Texture mapping options (heat, etc) <-- Matt if that's not to your liking, just revert that part, it's separate anyway
* Initial velocity taken from particle settings (no more slow starting)
* Option to select compression method (there seem to be a bug in my high compression usage, at least it's been reported to result in exploding smoke - better use low compression for the time being)
It's been tested since a while but as usual please report any (new!) bugs. ;-)
replaces another so it can do updates (e.g. dopesheet editor can
sync channel selection).
Also coded a simple optimization for allocating small objects,
based on mempools. It's #ifdef'd out, you can enabled it by
defining OPTIMIZE_SMALL_BLOCKS (e.g. adding -DDOPTIMIZE_SMALL_BLOCKS to
your compiler flags).
We suffer from a great deal of performance loss from the system allocator
(vgroups, ghash, edgehash, the singly-linked list implementation in blenlib,
editmesh, and likely a great many areas I'm forgetting), and this is the
common solution for handling the many-small-objects problem. It's not
really production-ready yet (it's long-term memory consequencers need to
be profiled first, and the implementation tweaked as necassary), but for
people on systems with slow system allocators it's worth trying.
Note that since this creates a guardedalloc<->blenlib link, the build systems
need to be updated accordingly (I've already done this for scons, though I'm
not sure if the player builds).
- transform default scale was too hight, calls to random were inconsistant. (fault of own modif's)
- cmake openal include was added twice on recent commit.
- fix race condition between applicationBecomeActive, and WindowBecomeKey events that discarded the modifiers keys status change event message
- workaround for a 10.6 bug that made the Cmd (oskey) modifier erroneously on.
Note: AA is still disabled due to AA creating problems for selection tools. If you must, set AA to 2 or 4 in wm_window.c where the GHOST window is created (line 317).
- 2 fingers scroll (MOUSEPAN / GHOST_kTrackpadEventScroll event) pans/scrolls the view
- 2 fingers pinch (MOUSEZOOM / GHOST_kTrackpadEventMagnify event) zooms the view
And in 3D view:
- alt + 2 fingers scroll rotates the view
- 2 fingers rotation (MOUSEROTATE / GHOST_kTrackpadEventRotate) orbits the view.
The implementation uses a new GHOST event type: GHOST_kEventTrackpad, that is then dispatched as Blender MOUSEPAN, MOUSEZOOM
or MOUSEROTATE events.
This is currently fully implemented for OSX (GHOST Cocoa fires the new events), with auto-detection of the source peripheral, so that a regular mouse still sends MOUSEWHEEL events.
Added GHOST_TUns16 numOfAASamples parameter to GHOST_CreateWindow to specify the number of AA samples (null if no AA wanted)
Implemented it in the cascade of GHOST classes.
Full implementation currently done for OSX/Cocoa, stubs for other OSes.
Moguri : it's ready for your win32 implementation !
Note that fallback to a non AA window (if gfx card doesn't support AA) is done inside GHOST OS specific layer, so that blender windowmanager still gets its window created properly.
