* Extrude and Duplicate for Armatures now use proper macros instead of manually calling transform themselves. This means that repeating these operators now works properly.
** NOTE: there's a bug with macros now which prevents the 'forked' extrude operator working correctly. Bug report filed for this.
* Included the proper operators for extrude and duplicate in the toolbar + menus. The operators used there did not activate transform, which meant that users often could not tell that the operation had occurred at all.
- Generated and uploaded api docs - http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc
- Added Edit docs menu item & operators as discussed with Mindrones, Brecht, Stani & Letterip @ bconf, needs some web backend. python operator can aparently use xml/rpc to upload docstrings.
- Added operator invoke function - context.manager.invoke_props_popup(self.__operator__, event)
this calls a popup for invoke by default (which intern calls execute())
- Own recent commit to game framing applied to non-camera views too.
- v3d->persp is deprecated but still used in some places.
- Transforming strips could overlap 1 frame if moving them below frame 0
- Transforming overlapping strips could go into an eternal loop (though overlapping strips should not exist)
* Restored the Grease Pencil tools to the toolbar
Probably, if the reason they were commented out before was so that the repeat stuff is visible, we can swap the order of those two. Otherwise, it's good to have somewhere for the operators now (so that the hotkeys can be found)
* Hotkey displays in the tooltips now show the keymodifier too
For example, "D LeftMouse" or "Ctrl D LeftMouse" for the Grease Pencil operators, instead of just "LeftMouse" or "Ctrl LeftMouse".
Active shape key can now be changed while in edit mode. This is based
on exit/enter editmode again in the background, which is not ideal,
as that loses the undo history. But that already happened anyway when
you did exit/change-active/enter manually.
Blended shape keys can now be displayed & edited in edit mode. This
is much like showing an armature modifier in edit mode, and shape keys
now are a applied as a virtual modifier (for mesh & lattice only, curve
doesn't fit in the stack well due to tilt).
The main thing missing still is being able to switch between the active
shape key in edit mode, that's more complicated.. but the weights of
other shapes can be edited while in edit mode.
One thing to be careful about is that this does automatic crazyspace
correction, which means that if you edit a shape key with a low value,
the actual vertices will be moved to correct for that and actually move
a (potentially much) longer distance.
Also includes some UI tweaks, mainly placing some buttons horizontally
since the vertical list was getting too long.
This means if you refer to a member of an object it will fail silently if there is no active object, but if you use an invalid attribute of the object it raises an error.
The method to check this is not nice but works well enough.
also removed pageup/down keys for changing the active shape since listviews can do this now.
* Curves/Surfaces now have the shape key panel as well, this
is new compared to 2.4x.
* The previous commit also fixed curve tilt blending for relative
keys, this was writing to the wrong memory location.
* Minor button tweaks
* Driver adding/removing operators in the Outliner now work properly for arrays
* Renamed these operators so that their names are more indicative of how they work (i.e. based on the data in the Outliner that is selected)
* Added a menu labelled 'Edit' in the Datablocks view which gives access to (and includes the hotkeys for) these tools.
- weight blending (Vertex specials menu), currently blends from surrounding unselected verts (nice for blending edge loops), but will eventually support face mask mode.
Added an option for normalize_all that keeps the active group at its existing weight while normaling all other groups around it.
Thsi makes it easy to paint up to 100% where all other groups will use progressivly less until the active group is 100% and all others are 0.
Added weight operators to the toolbar
Auto save is now working again in 2.5. It will also remember now what
the location of the original file was when recovering it, so that
library links still work and saving the restored file does not save to
the temp directory. There is also a new Recover Auto Save operator
which will open the filebrowser in the temp directory and show the
auto saved .blends.
Implemenation Notes:
* Timer storage was moved from window to windowmanager, so we can have
windowmanager level timers too now, doesn't make sense to have
autosave timer attached to a particular window.
* FileGlobal now has a filename field storing where the file was saved.
Note that this is only used when loading a file through the recover
operators, regular file read doesn't use it, so copying the quit.blend
manually over the original file will still work as expected.
* Jobs timer no longer uses operator now, this seems more like an
internal thing, changing keymaps should not make it possible to break
the jobs manager.
* Autosave is postponed by 10 seconds when a modal operator is running,
e.g. transform or file browsing.
* Moved setting G.sce in setup_app_data before depsgraph updates, these
can use the filename for pointcaches.
Removing old add tube operator and replacing it with add cylinder. The resulting operator is called add tube, since that's the name in the menu. Other people can debate about the name and change it later if they feel like it.
- invalid pointer was used for getting the sequencer length crashing blender or setting the length to negative values.
- printf_strip(seq) for debugging sequence strip locations
