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.
Todo for Campbell:
- Make menu context sensitive
- Make menu automatically run the operator if there is only one option
Note: Saved configurations and keymaps with references to "Extrude and Move" operator needs to be updated to either call the menu or one of the new extrude macros.
When combing long hair it will often end up with no volume (flat on the head like its wet).
a way to fix this is to use the puff tool however when applied points at the root only this just gives a bit of volume at the roots and the rest of the hair stays flat.
This option moves the unselected parts of the hair without applying the puff tool to them, giving volume to the hair whilst preserving the desired style.
change how data is added. eg.
bpy.data.add_mesh(name) --> bpy.data.meshes.new(name)
bpy.data.remove_lamp(lamp) --> bpy.data.lamps.remove(lamp)
image and texture stil use add_* funcs
Restored the old Eyedropper tool from the 2.4 colour picker. Now it's an operator,
working nicely using rna properties (fixes#19475 and some todo items)
This ended up being a bit more work than expected, it involved converting the
colour picker to use RNA properties directly, rather than temporary values. This has
several advantages, including being able to type in RGB values greater than 1,
however there are still some redraw issues with sliders.
Also removed the alternate color pickers after this time spent testing, the current one
should be sufficient, or alternatives to the wheel can possibly become preferences
in the current design.
Converting the picker to RNA also made it very trivial to make a cool new
ColorWheel template, which can be embedded in UI layouts. I've enabled it already
in texture/vertex paint brush properties and the sequence editor color correction:

* Fix#20482: grab brush + size pressure sensitivity don't work
together, disabled the pressure sensitivty for that case now.
* Fix for smooth brush messing up mesh sometimes, smooth factor
is now clamped to reasonable range.
* Fix#20449: smooth brush + mirror modifier could crash.
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
Now, there are preset brushes made for each tool type (eg. for sculpt mode, Grab,
Draw, Inflate, etc), and the recommended method for changing sculpt tools is to
change between Brushes. The shortcut keys for changing between tools have
now been changed to change between named brushes - the G key in sculpt
mode now changes to any brush named 'Grab'.
The advantages of this are:
* Changing between brushes remembers the strength/size/texture etc settings for
each brush. This means that for example, you can draw with a strong textured
Clay brush, but then switch quickly to a weaker, untextured Smooth brush,
without having to re-do your settings each time.
* You can now add your own custom shortcut keys to your own custom brushes -
just add a keymap entry similar to the existing ones, that references your own
custom brush names.
To bring over these new default brushes to an existing B.blend setup, just
append them in from the new B.blend in svn.
- remove functions such as operator_int(), operator_enum(), operator_string
this mixed with keyword arguments in a way that made them hard to read.
Instead, have operator() always return properties rather then needing an argument.
- rename prop_pointer() --> prop_object(), pointer is more a C thing.
- missed item_enumR(), rename to prop_enum()
* Added tablet pressure support (size/strength) for weight paint and vertex paint
* Added tablet eraser support for weight paint and vertex paint (inverts the effect of the current tool)
* Removed the old 'soft' option, now weight paint and vertex paint use the influence curve
* Made the default brush use a smooth influence curve, rather than sharp
* "RNA Path" and "Array Index" for the active F-Curve in the Graph Editor are now shown in the properties region. These are greyed out unless the F-Curve cannot be evaluated, in which case they can be edited to make the F-Curve work again
* Made the Push and Relax operators in Pose Mode fit on a single row in the toolbar, since they're opposites of each other.
Included more tools, such as Edge Slide and Shrink/Fatten in toolbar to make them easier to find.
Did some reorganization of tools in the mesh editing toolbar to categorize tools better.
Made some tools like Grease Pencil tools more compact in the UI
