Users can set their machine name to something containing non-ascii characters. In Python this currently causes problem due to
socket.gethostname() throwing UnicodeEncodingError. Work around this by not using platform.system() (which uses internally socket.gethostname()).
See http://www.pasteall.org/16215 for backtrace
also made all other exporters do this.
Made some internal changes.
- moved path functions from bpy.utils to bpy.path (similar to os.path)
- added functions...
bpy.path.ensure_ext(path, ".ext", case_sensitive=False) # simple function to ensure the extension is set.
bpy.path.resolve_ncase(path) # useful for importing scenes made on windows where the path case doesnt match the files.
image.py has a function image_editor_guess(), please test on windows and mac. (using 'startfile' and 'open')
this is only used when the image editor is not set.
Running scripts directly didnt call the register function, even though this is not essential its good to be able to run a script directly and see changes in the UI.
- scene.render_data.frame_path(frame=num), returns the output path for rending images of video.
- scene.render_data.file_extension, readonly attribute, gives the extension ".jpg", ".mov" etc
- player support was guessing names, use the above functions to get the actual names used, accounting for #'s replacing numbers.
Also put a bit more logic for guessing player paths based on my system.
If anyone can make this a bit more clever/bulletproof, please feel free to
get involved in it, it's all python!
customisable player.
You can choose a player in User Preferences -> File Paths. You can
choose a plan custom command line, otherwise there are presets available
for the Blender 2.4 player or DJV (where it will give it the correct filename,
fps, etc on the command line). So for example if you have a Blender 2.4
version installed, you can enter the path to the blender 2.4 executable,
and the playback will work just like before.
Any info on other frame players (FrameCycler? pdplayer?) and their
command line settings could be useful for adding some more presets too,
if anyone knows of them.
It's available in Render->Play Rendered Animation (Ctrl F11)
