Request from mindrones :)
* Next to the Wiki URL, it's now possible to have a link to the tracker, for bug reports.
"bl_addon_info" dictionary:
* Renamed 'url' to 'wiki_url'
* Added 'tracker_url'
Now, rather than the bit-too-alarming stop sign, threaded wmJobs
display a progress indicator in the header. This is an optional feature
for each job type and still uses the same hardcoded ui template
(could use further work here...).
Currently implemented for:
Render - parts completed, then nodes comped
Compositor - nodes comped
Fluid Sim - frames simulated
Texture Bake - faces baked
Example: http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/progress.mov
*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.
Curve->lastselbp field was renamed to Curve->lastsel and now not last
either BPoint or BezTriple is storing here. It's not easy to determine
type of selected point, but operator which depends on such point reviews
the full nurbs, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Made changes to curve undo stuff to restore last selected point on undo/redo.
Added new theme color for curve last selected point.
This adds a new presets menu in the splash screen and the Input section of
User Preferences to choose a preset interaction style, consisting of key configurations
and also other user preferences such as select mouse button, view rotation style, etc.
Currently, just 'Blender' and 'Maya' presets are included, hopefully we can have more
presets contributed (and maintained!) by the community.
It's best to keep these presets minimal to avoid too many key conflicts. In the Maya one
I changed the view manipulation key/mouse combos and also the transform
manipulator keys, not much more than that.
To save an interaction preset, open the user preferences Input section, and press the
[ + ] button next to the presets menu. It will save out a .py file containing any edited key
maps and navigation preferences to the presets/interaction folder in your scripts folder.

Part of this commit changes the way that key maps are exported/displayed in
preferences - now partial key configs are allowed. Previously it would export/import the
entire key configuration, regardless of whether individual key maps were edited or not
(which would make them more susceptible to conflicts in unexpected areas).
(note, in blender terminology, a key map is a category of key items, such as
'Object Mode' or 'View 2d'.)
Now, the export and the UI display work in a similar way to how key maps are
processed internally - Locally edited key maps (after pressing the 'Edit' button) are
processed first, falling back to other key maps in the current key config, and then falling
back to the default key config. So it's possible for a key config to only include a few
key maps, and the rest just gets pulled from the default key config. The preferences
UI display works like this too behind the scenes in deciding what to show users,
however using it is just like it was before, the complexity is hidden.
This commit fixes reports #21638 and #21818, which were both also Durian feature requests.
Cbanges:
* Added new default setting for the type of handles created when creating keyframes. This can be found in the user-preferences, and is used whenever existing keyframes aren't being overwritten (instead of the value being always taken from the keyframes either side, #21638).
* When keyframing over existing keyframes, only the values will be changed. The handles will be offset by the same amount that the value of the keyframe changed, though how well this works in practice still needs to be tested more thoroughly (#21818, already fixed earlier, but this commit is the full fix).
* When 'free' handles are added by default, they are offset to be +/- 1 frame on either side of the keyframe so that it is obvious that they can be moved. However, they just take the same value of the keyframe since this is easiest.
* Properly initialising handle colour defaults for 3D-View and Graph Editor. Graph Editor's theme userprefs also show these settings now, though the layout is really quick hack-style.
Emulate 3 button mouse is now disabled when Left mouse select is used, to
prevent keymap conflicts. Configs for single button macs etc we can do with
keymap presets.
Theme colours were getting overwritten on startup with defaults (as in 2.4
system). Changed this to allow changing the default theme, and added a
'Reset to defaults' operator in user prefs. Perhaps next step to look into the
py presets system for themes too (nice and easy to share).
If you're using a custom B.blend you may get some strange theme colours on
startup if they weren't saved properly before. 'Reset to default' button in theme
preferences should fix it back to defaults.
For some reason, __import__ doesn't recognize the cfg folder as part of the part.
Using exec("import " ... fixes that, but should be investigated further.
Some code changes:
* Every Add-On now needs a dictionary with several infos, which are then displayed in the Blender UI and/or are used internally.
Example:
bl_addon_info = {'name': 'Measure panel',
'author': 'Buerbaum Martin (Pontiac)',
'version': '0.6.3',
'blender': '2.5.2',
'location': 'View3D > Properties > Measure',
'url': 'http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.5/Py/Scripts/Panel_Measure',
'category' : 'UI'}
Unfinished/Not working yet
* The 'blender' tag is compared with the internal version number, it raises an error if the add-on was written for a newer Blender version.
* The 'category' tag will be added to the filter, so the add-ons can be searched/filtered.
This patch adds following features:
- Filter Add-ons by a category.
- Search Add-ons by Name and Author.
- Possibility to expand an Add-on, displaying more information like author, version, description, etc.
- Warns when a user wants to enable a script that was written for a newer version of blender
- Replaced hardcoded nurbcol array with theme colors
- Send notification in duplicate curve operator (this operator could
reset/change active nurb)
- Edge seam color added to the user preferences dialog
image.py has a function image_editor_guess(), please test on windows and mac. (using 'startfile' and 'open')
this is only used when the image editor is not set.
* I put it under General->System. Not sure is the better place for it though (space_userpref.py)
** also: creator.c fix to avoid autoplay of games when scripts are disabled.
* Added a user-preference setting which disallows setting the current frame number to a negative number. This setting only applies when setting the current frame by scrubbing the time cursor in a timeline view, or by typing a value into the current frame number field.
* Made the minimum frame number for the start frame to be 0, which should make setting keyframes by a regular step size less confusing. Also changed the MINFRAME define to 0 for consistency. Hopefully this doesn't cause any problems with any output formats.
* Fixed some missing channel selection cases in animation editors.
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.
