This commit refactors the way that the Motion Paths GUI works. The key problems
this tries to address are:
1) Mode error - Confusion about whether we're dealing with the Object or Pose
level Motion Paths panel
2) Display settings vs Baking Settings
In line with the original design intentions for the 2.5/6 Properties Editor,
I've now split out the actual baking-related settings away from the Properties
Editor:
* Now, when clicking "Calculate Paths" from the toolbar, you'll be prompted with
a dialog to select the start/end frames (and for bones, whether to bake from
heads or tails). This is less confusing than relying on firstly setting the
range via the display range settings (and baking using that), since many people
apparently only used the "around current" mode, and were confused why things
weren't working
* Added a display of the frame ranges of the current baked Motion Path on the
active Object/Bone. This makes it clearer/easier to debug if the path suddenly
starts disappearing after a certain frame.
* Replaced Calculate/Clear Paths in the panels with a single "Update" button if
there's already a baked Motion Path.
Hopefully these changes (in combination with some of the other bugfixes) will
make it more obvious how everything works.
Previously it used to use cursor location from time when panel was drawn,
which in some cases lead to using previous cursor location instead of current.
This commit:
* Removes the Wire and Color options from the UI for all object types but meshes, curves/surfaces/texts, and metas.
* Adds a basic bounding box drawing (and computing) for armatures.
incompatible, and unmaintainable Time Offset cruft.
- Slow Parenting lives another day (just), although it now carries
appropriate cautionary disclaimers. It's only really for the Game
Engine nowadays, as that's the only place where it can possibly work
with any reliability.
- "Animation Hacks" panel is now "Relations Extras". I could've merged
the two panels, though I figured these options weren't that frequently
used to justify taking up screen-space by default along with the panel
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
- Assigning local materials to library objects disabled
(crashes on undo/redo cases)
- Disabling options in Material buttons to add/remove slots
on library data
- Drawing Object ID template in Object properties, this
allows browse active Object, but especially shows library
status then.
ui/ --> startup/bl_ui
op/ --> startup/bl_operators
scripts/startup/ is now the only auto-loading script dir which gives some speedup for blender loading too.
~/.blender/2.56/scripts/startup works for auto-loading scripts too.
