After discussing with campbell, I'm adding a menu in the addons panel to help people to find the addons development pages
This should give more visibility to the bf-extensions project so that people know where they can share their scripts "officially".
(userpref->system), with a great help from brecht (its been way too long
for me).
However as brecht pointed out that the non-AA text is slightly lareger
then AA'ed Text :S, i did not do anything about this as this commit was
just the option not the text drawing.
this commit also makes it possible to do all kinds of UI textrender options
Added two user preferences for filebrowser:
1. Hide Recent Locations
Requested by Kernon Dillon. Reason: People doing video tutorials might not want to expose the name of other projects they are working on.
2. Open Filebrowser in thumbnail view for images and movies
Requested by Sebastian König at the Blender Conference. Reason: In the past (and most likely still) some corrupt images or movies could crash the filebrowser when generating thumbnails. (crashes in ffmpeg, libtiff, libjpg). While many of those were solved, artists in a production environment might want to use this setting to prevent any crashes.
NOTE: the second setting should probably be set next time we create a new default startup.blend. Until then users need to switch this on manually in the User Preferences.
now addon path is created using the same path functions and selecting where to save the startup.blend
also made some minor changes to path handling funcs.
modified the patch to store the string internally rather then an array of allocated string pointers, less hassle with memory allocation.
changed to use fnmatch, so *.foo is needed (not .foo as with the patch)
- use preset subclass with funcs for updating the keyconfig
- keyconfig filenames are used for the UI names as with presets (so separation anymore)
- keyconfig's are stored in the preset dir (scripts/cfg dir removed)
- only the active keyconfig script is loaded
- some bugfixes for saving keymaps
- user interactions no longer saves keyconfigs too, I think this needs to be re-worked.
developer note...
multiple keyconfigs at once are not really needed now that they are stored & accessed directly in python.
for now I left it alone but we could consider to remove this capability in the future.
Now reloading the user defaults also unloads/loads addons, resetting the state to the one set in the user preferences.
moved addon functions into bpy.utils
- bpy.utils.addon_enable(name, default_set=True)
- bpy.utils.addon_disable(name, default_set=True)
- bpy.utils.addon_reset_all(name, default_set=True)
the user preference operators now just wrap these.
- better error reporting when an addon fails to load
- upload an addon which loads partly but then fails (eg, module loads but class register fails)
- bugfix addon loading, failier to load would leave _bpy_types._register_immediate = False
- added which change on disk are reloaded when enabling.
- bpy.path.module_names() now returns (module_name, module_path) pairs.
- From now on addons bl_addon_info['name'] doesn't need to specifcy also the category, it is put automatically in the addon box title
In some script category and the category in the title were not matching, this had to be fixed manually.
- The warning icon is at the right of the addon box title, so that it cant disalign the addon name anymore when we have a warning.
- After discussing with Campbell, I've added the field bl_addon_info['api'] where we should specify the Blender API version number the addon is
compatible with.
This is certainly useful for clarity, and also I need it in place while preparing the downloadable addons.
- Also, bl_addon_info['version'] is now assumed to be a tuple of integers as it is bl_addon_info['blender'].
Any important text should be placed in the bl_addon_info['warning'] field, not in the script version anymore.
I'm going to reflect this change in bf-extensions so that scripts won't suddenly break.

Adds a field where the user can put in name/nickname that exporters
then can use to write authoring information, where possible.
- replaced PySys_GetObject("modules") with PyImport_GetModuleDict()
- use defaults for keymap import/export rather then setting the same value every time from the UI scripts.
- 2 panels implimented in properties_render_test.xml (Render Dimensions and Stamp)
- only enabled in debug mode.
- poll() functions are not supported yet.
- as stated above experemental, we'll see if this is at all useful, remove if not.
- XML could be replaced with JSON or YAML.
- re-arranged UI in a way that gave far too much vert scrolling.
- was added all over for simple things like making text="", layout engine should handle this.
- Ton and Brecht are ok with removing this now. Ton would like to work on the layout engine to make it better support these cases.
poll() function is now a static method in python, this is more correct, matching C where the operator is not created to run poll.
def poll(self, context): ...
is now...
@staticmethod
def poll(context): ...
Pythons way of doing static methods is a bit odd but cant be helped :|
This does make subclassing poll functions with COMPAT_ENGINES break, so had to modify quite a few scripts for this.
