This removes auto-registration, committed by Martin r30961.
Realize this is a contentious topic but Brecht and myself both would rather opt-in registration.
TODO:
- addons need updating.
- class list will be modified to use weakrefs (should have been done for existing system too).
- will move bpy.types.(un)register functions into bpy.utils.(un)register_class, currently including these functions in a type list is internally ugly, scripts which loop over types also need to check for these.
- rather then use unlink="None", just don't pass unlink as a keyword. This is more pythonic.
- added an RNA flag for properties which cant be unlinked by setting to None.
Property buttons: the "ID template" allowed to unlink data from object,
like Mesh or Curve etc, which is not supported. Button now is hidden.
Thanks Dan Eicher for patch.
Also: improved tooltip for 'data browse'. It was generic, now it gives
specific per-type information.
* Fixed some panel ordering after recent register changes.
* Placed "Custom Props" to the bottom again, where possible
This fixes [#23171] Material context is messed up.
- 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.
*The narrowui value was hard coded in all ui scripts, made an user preferences option. Basically this value determines on which area width, it should switch between dual/single column layout.
ToDo: The Changes only take effect when reloading scripts/restarting Blender (after saving as default). Will maybe add the "Reload Scripts" operator next to the button in the future.
* Small fix for Fluid Add Button, when in single column mode. Didn't expand like the other "Add" Buttons.
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.
Contributors list isnt used much in our C code so probably its easier if people just use svn blame for this.
Can change if this isnt acceptable but I guessed people didnt care so much since most scripts had no header.
