Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
To make it easier to synchronise timing across multiple strips, if you add
markers locally to an action, these will show up in the NLA strip in the
NLA Editor. These markings can then be used to line up the start/end of
another strip, or even to make sure that the markers from two different
strips end up lining up.
By default, this is turned on, but it can be disabled (via the View menu)
if it adds too much visual noise.
* Reshuffled code for existing "View Frame" implementations, and removed leftover
comment from some of the the copy-and-paste used to build it.
* Added support for this operator in the NLA and Timeline
To help make it more convenient to edit stashed actions, Shift-Tab
(i.e. holding down the Shift key, which "tabbing" into tweakmode as
usual to edit the action referenced by the active NLA strip) now flags
the NLA Track that the strip occupies as being "solo" too.
This allows you to use the NLA to select a stashed action, then Shift-Tab
to start editing it without any other actions in the NLA stack interfering.
Like the "Next/Previous Layer" tools in the Action Editor, this is designed
to help with checking on stashed actions.
For now, did most of the changes in menu entries (i.e. py space UI scripts).
Note we do not get 100% same results as previously, but current situation is
globally better than previous one, though the whole system to retrieve shortcuts
remains a bit weak...
Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D678
It is sometimes possible to end up with a lot of datablocks which have old + unused
"AnimData" containers still attached. This most commonly happens when doing motion
graphics work (i.e. when some linked-in objects may have previously been used to develop
a set of reusable assets), and is particularly distracting in the NLA Editor.
This commit adds an operator which removes AnimData blocks (restricted to only those
which are visible in the animation editor where it is run from) which are "empty"
(i.e. that is, have no active action, drivers, and nla tracks or strips).
This operator can be found from the "Edit" menu in the NLA Editor. Although it also
works when run from the DopeSheet or Graph Editors, it is of less use there since
those won't show these empty AnimData blocks by default (since by definition, such
AnimData blocks necesarily have no keyframes or drivers that can be shown), hence
there will be no feedback if the operator fails or succeeds.
This operator is used to make sure that if/when you have multiple strips
using the same action, if you select these and run this operator, each
strip will be given its own copy of the action. This is useful if you
decide later that you want to start using an existing action as a base.
NOTE: This does not recursively go inside meta's, so care is still advised
in that case.
This commit changes the default strip duplication behaviour (Shift-D) so that it will
create a copy of whatever action it uses. Previously, it was very hard, if not impossible
in some cases to create a new copy of an action to start working on in the NLA.
If you want the old behaviour, you'll need to use ALt-D (Linked Duplicates).
(Note: Although the new Shift-D may not be so optimal in all cases, I've decided to go
with this version since it aligns better with the way this works for objects. Doing the
opposite for NLA would just have added to the confusion)
This commit introduces an operator in the Add menu - this operator ensures that
all selected objects have AnimData attached to them (even if they don't have any
actions/drivers yet). By doing this, these objects can at least appear in the
NLA Editor, which will allow them to have strips added to them in future without
having to create throwaway actions first (NOTE: there's still some stuff coming
to allow that).
Also, renamed NLA_OT_delete_tracks -> NLA_OT_tracks_delete
from Troy Sobotka (sobotka), with edits
- remove Markers from Ctrl+L menu (was out of place here and was broken from recent changes to marker operators)
- further de-duplicte scripts by having all menus call the same function: marker_menu_generic().
this fixes bug [#29083] too.
- 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.
* Code cleanup in the space_*.py files.
* Removed layout.column() statement in _MT_ panels, they are useless.
* Only define variables at the beginning of a function!
These are basically just for specifying when a speaker should fire off
it's soundclip, and as such, many NLA operations are irrelevant for
it. They can only be specified on object-level for speaker objects.
I've still got some UI tweaks I'll need to work on in order for these
to be able to be added even when the speaker doesn't have any NLA
tracks yet. (EDIT: while typing this, I had an idea for how to do
this, but that'll be for next commit). In the mean time, you'll need
to add a single keyframe for the object, snowflake that action and
delete the NLA strip before you can start editing.
Two part bug:
Part 1) NLA Editor menu was calling wrong operator
Part 2) r35829 broke NLA scaling, since it only checked that the
transform mode used was allowed in the Action Editor (probably
confused by Part 1)
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.
