Fix [#25473] 64bit Windows installer for version 2.56 is not working
patch submitted by Caleb (Dobz)
The thumbnail patch adds a thumb handler DLL that adds .blend thumbnail support in Windows Explorer. A -r option is added to do registration in background. The patch also improves icon building and metadata for blender.exe.
Caleb fixes and cleans up our installer to an acceptable state. The patch uses the new -r option to do the .blend extension and thumbnailer registration.
Thanks to both Caleb and Tom for their efforts!
restore, would not get their dependencies updated when they became visible.
It happend with a shrinkwrap modifier in these reports, but could happen with
other modifiers too.
Now we keep track of which layers have ever been updated since load, and tag
objects on them to be recalculated when they become visible.
For cmake users, you should now use "make install" instead of "make". This was
already changed for Linux and Windows. Same for Xcode, use the install target.
Changes:
* CMake install mechanism, resulting bundle was verified to be indentical here.
* For cmake, include Info.plist in bundle using builtin mechanism for that.
There was some code in packaging.cmake, but it wasn't correct as these
properties need to be set on the executable.
* For scons, fix app bundle version, was still using removed release/VERSION.
* Remove unused blendercreator.app and blenderpublisher.app.
* Fix Info.plist being set as a binary file in svn, should be plain text.
- opening a file with blender by passing it as an argument would and loading it once in blender left script auto execute flag in a different state.
- command line args --enable/disable-autoexec were being overridden by the user prefs.
* Don't use "make install", doesn't work yet.
* Use total number of cores rather than number of processors.
* Quicker number of cores query, by not asking for all system info.
change how the extraction commands are presented (old BUILD_TYPE was empty all the time here) and
ensure also that python/lib subdir under versioned dir gets actually created.
use 'install' target rather then copying files with post-build commands.
Main change is that you need to run 'make install', which copies files to ./bin by default
unless WITH_INSTALL_PORTABLE is OFF, where CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is used for a typical unix-system install.
CMake build option WITH_PYTHON_MODULE, will build ./bin/bpy.so
This allows 'bpy' to be imported from python or other applications/IDE's which embed python, eg:
python -c "import bpy ; bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)"
This runs in background mode and has similar restrictions to running a script:
blender --background --python test.py
TODO:
- install to site-packages with blender scripts
- add support for imp.reload()
- WITH_OPENJPEG wasn't defined for creator.c with CMake.
- remove shadowed/redefined vars.
- remove some unused RNA report args.
- re-arrange IMB_FILE_TYPES so IRIS is not the first format tested, since its not very common test JPEG and PNG first.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
- modifier code was using sizeof() without knowing the sizeof the array when clearing the modifier type array.
- use BLI_snprintf rather then sprintf where the size of the string is known.
- particle drawing code kept a reference to stack float values (not a problem at the moment but would crash if accessed later).
- move test -> tests, this name is used elsewhere in lib/tests.
- change interface code not to loop on a float value (clang warning), harmless, but with extreme cases an eternal loop would still be possible though unlikely.
