Now the active monitor size is used on startup.
Currently the cursor position is checked for intersection with the monitor bounds to find the active screen.
This returns the desktop size, not just the size of the active monitor, useful since this constrains the mouse and we dont have to detect the active monitor (which isn't so straightforward with xlib).
carbon/cocoa are TODO, they still use getMainDisplayDimensions().
This didnt work well with making blender areas into windows.
Real fix: check such minimums based on what's in the window itself... or just
make scaling work flawless.
When you open a Blender window larger than a screen, Macs clip it to match the height,
but they allow the width to be more.
Problem is that this clipping happens after all window opening code. That causes
check for HiDPI mode to fail.
Now it checks it again on event GHOST_kEventWindowUpdate, which is only on startup.
Notices this while using continuous-grab, since this is disabled when the tablet is being used.
Quite often I would use the tablet then drag a button with the mouse but blender would still have the tablet enabled.
This error would cause other parts of blender to behave incorrectly too since wmEvents would have wmTabletData set, operators check for this in some cases.
The problem was blender didn't reliably get ProximityOut events, eg:
moving the cursor outside the window with the tablet, then back over the window with the mouse -
meant blender didn't get a 'ProximityOut' event and would keep the active stylus value set.
For now, when the processing events and the active stylus is set, run a check that the tablet is still in proximity.
Touch input events map nicely to trackpad input now.
However, I noticed the event values are a factor 10 scaled larger compared
to other touch delta's. Makes using touch input on the tablet not so nice.
I found a hack to detect Wacom events, but if it works for more devices?
Anyway - for me the Wacom works perfectly smooth for view manipulations now.
Issue was caused by opening the same device id twice and closing one of
descriptors on closing window. This used to close device used by other
windows.
Now moved all device-specific code to SystemX11, so opening and closing
happens only once.
OK - so you have this nice crisp screen, and still you want to add extra
monitors to the laptop! That means Blender should switch back and forth to HiDPI
modes, when you move a window to another monitor.
This code makes the pixelsize scale factor a window property, and handles
an event when a window moves to another monitor. It then changes the
native pixelsize nicely and refreshes entire UI.
You can also have one Blender window on high, and other on low resolution.
Stretching a Blender window from 1 monitor to the other works too, but that
is Apple magic handling it.
That change made all scrollwheel events be handled as if it was a swipe gesture.
Old style mouse wheel didn't work anymore.
This version should work for everyone, but we need more mac testers :)
scrolling and inertia.
Now Blender uses this - if you have 10.7. Otherwise it just falls back on the
old code.
Try it, makes a huge difference :)
Next todo: how to configure this well, so you can have trackpad (or mighty mouse)
zoom as default in 3d views.
Now:
- code is wrapped for OS X releases (10.6 and 10.7)
- It now detects scrollwheel (old mouse) and gesture strokes (mighty mouse or trackpad).
If you have 10.6, things will work as for release.
Next todo for tomorrow: make trackpad work actually smooth and not with steps.
Will also try to figure out the device type, to handle mighty mouse differently.
Blender didn't detect properly whether event came from a mouse-wheel or
from a trackpad in OS X.
Now you can both, and both are handled independently.
Removed back hack from 2 years ago - which disabled mouse wheel for laptops.
remove it, but still stick around listed in the Window menu.
Fixed by removing the setReleasedWhenClosed:NO hack and using the proper cocoa
window delegate mechanism.
Mac OS X trackpad and 'mighty mouse' fix.
An old commit from Damien in 2010 tried to make mighty mouse touches work as if
this is a scrollwheel. The error in that code was that the "kinetic scrolling"
feature failed. When releasing your fingers, the events passed on to Blender
then switched from "trackpad pan" to "mousewheel zoom".
This commit makes trackpads and mighty mouse behave identical. Only difference
is that trackpad panning needs 2 fingers, mighty mouse only one.
Note that trackpad and mighty mouse 3d zoom works with holding ctrl!
All works nice with this kinetic feature now. Fun :)
(Error in 2.65 release too)
Mac OS X: on closing Blender, it 'flashed', which appeared to be a white window opening
and closing quickly. Caused by code trying to send focus to another opened window, and
accidentally focusing the closed one - causing it to reopen.
