* UI layout for scene buttons has quite some changes, I tried to
better organize things according to the pipeline, and also showing
important properties by default, and collapsing less important ones.
Some changes compared to 2.4x:
* Panorama is now a Camera property.
* Sequence and Compositing are now enabled by default, but will only
do something when there is a node tree using nodes, or a strip in the
sequence editor.
* Enabling Full Sample now automatically enables Save Buffers too.
* Stamp option to include info in file is removed, it now simply always
does this if one of the stamp infos is enabled.
* Xvid, H.264 and Ogg Theora are now directly in the file format menu,
but still using FFMPEG. Unfortunately Ogg is broken at the moment
(also in 2.4x), so that's disabled. And Xvid crashes on 64bit linux,
maybe solvable by upgrading extern/xvidcore/, using ubuntu libs makes
it work.
* Organized file format menu by image/movie types.
Added:
* Render layers RNA wrapped, operatorized, layouted.
* FFMPEG format/codec options are now working.
Defaults changed:
* Compositing & Sequencer enabled.
* Tiles set to 8x8.
* Time/Date/Frame/Scene/Camera/Filename enabled for stamp.
* Fix poll() callback changes in recent commit, note that these have
to work with pinned context too.
* Hide header for context panels in py layout.
* Don't jump back when collapsing a panel, allow the view to be
over some empty space until you scroll back.
* Fix follow context icon, order had to be reversed in icon file.
* ID template now has icon as part of browse button instead of
outside the buttons.
* Fixed some Bugs from Commit 21458.
* Show Preview Render only when there is an active id block.
* Some Code Cleanup (especially in polls). Please try to keep it clean ;-)
"moving the ID browser into its own panel. Eventually these panels should loose their headers to distinguish them from other, normal panels. Also a few other fixes for bones and armature panels."
* Fix context.cloth, was not being set correct.
* Fix errors with context pinning, scripts should
not assume context.object to be there.
* Always show preview even if e.g. the material is not
set, to keep ID buttons from jumping while you're
using them.
* Added more material buttons by William. Thanks.
I made some minor adjustments and added Specular Shader Model RNA.
* Code cleanup and some consistency tweaks of button files.
Notes: Preview render now only shows up when there is an active world, material, texture or lamp.
* Made sure initial panels with ID Datablocks are shown, even when no block is active.
* Context now allows pinning a datablock, independent of
selection.
* Initial ID browse buttons for most buttons tabs.
* Browsing from world to texture now displays world textures
again, but is a bit of a hack, not sure there is a right
way to do this.
* There's a button to switch between active materials and
textures now, only temporary though.
* There's some code to put context part in own region,
disabled still because it doesn't work that well yet.
* Fix buttons jumping around when resizing and zoom. Part of this was
adding a tiny a 0.001f offset in UI_view2d_view_ortho, otherwise the
rounding is unpredictable (used to be 0.375f, but that was disabled).
* Fix various issues with zooming, panning panels. V2D_LOCKOFS_X/Y is
now taken into account in more places in the view2d code, to avoid
zooming into the center or panning out of the view.
* Remove "Free" align mode in buttons window (it's not really useful).
* View3D/Graph/Image editors now use the same PanelType system as the
buttons window, means some deprecated panel code could be removed.
* Some small visual tweaks for panels.
* View 2D Reset operator (Home key), to reset zoom and panning for panels.
* Added argument to set number buttons as sliders (slider=True for itemR).
* Ignore labels for button alignment (doesn't look right).
* Fix some use of context.main in py scripts, should get data from active
object instead.
* Fix autotexspace -> auto_texspace in py script.
* Added new Buttons Tab "Bone" for Armature objects.
* Validation of buttons selection, when object selection is changed.
* added missing notifier for camera type and small layout change to the panel.
* more shading color changes for menu and checkbox.
* Buttons are now created first, and after that the layout is computed.
This means the layout engine now works at button level, and makes it
easier to write templates. Otherwise you had to store all info and
create the buttons later.
* Added interface_templates.c as a separate file to put templates in.
These can contain regular buttons, and can be put in a Free layout,
which means you can specify manual coordinates, but still get nested
correct inside other layouts.
* API was changed to allow better nesting. Previously items were added
in the last added layout specifier, i.e. one level up in the layout
hierarchy. This doesn't work well in always, so now when creating things
like rows or columns it always returns a layout which you have to add
the items in. All py scripts were updated to follow this.
* Computing the layout now goes in two passes, first estimating the
required width/height of all nested layouts, and then in the second
pass using the results of that to decide on the actual locations.
* Enum and array buttons now follow the direction of the layout, i.e.
they are vertical or horizontal depending if they are in a column or row.
* Color properties now get a color picker, and only get the additional
RGB sliders with Expand=True.
* File/directory string properties now get a button next to them for
opening the file browse, though this is not implemented yet.
* Layout items can now be aligned, set align=True when creating a column,
row, etc.
* Buttons now get a minimum width of one icon (avoids squashing icon
buttons).
* Moved some more space variables into Style.
* Split the buttons_data.py into separate files, this makes it easier to maintain them.
Notes: Added an extra modifier file, because modifiers are for different object types.
* Added basic lamp buttons and Sun/Sky settings.
As the camera buttons they only work for the default light object for now.
* Some minor code cleanup
