Blender Git Loki

Pointcache / Smoke:
* Disable "step" setting for smoke on GUI

Smoke:
* Making edge and vertex arrays local to avoid problems

2 Animation Fixes:

* Auto-keyframing for Paste Poses and PoseLib works again. Unfortunately, it doesn't take into account whether the transforms were changed or not...

* 'Stick to View' setting for Grease Pencil has now been inverted, since the old order was confusing.

Smoke:
* Bugfix for drawing issues when having the domain transformed (editmode + object mode, both were buggy)

2.5 filebrowser
* Fix for space init when loading with pupmenu (without operator) - parameters now get reset
* experimental: made new director operator jump directly into renaming

svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/branches/blender2.4 -r23172:HEAD

merging now to save confusion later since the changes between last merge and 23172 shouldn't be merged.

brings 2.4 and trunk in sync aside from sequencer edits from Peter.

[#19290] Blender.Load(filename) -> FILE_MAXDIR to FILE_MAXDIR + FILE_MAXFILE and unused argument removed

only changed the FILE_MAXDIR -> FILE_MAXDIR + FILE_MAXFILE part
since its possible scripts use this undocumented arg.

Patch [#19293] NearSensor: Changing distance and resetDistance from Python did not take effect immediately
from Frank Papenmeier (hodka)
--- from the submission
Changing the distance and resetDistance Properties of a NearSensor from Python did only take effect, once there was
a collision within the old radius.

Reason:
The radius of the PHY_IPhysicsController was not set to the new values.

Solution:
It is set at the end of the CheckResetDistance function. I moved the relevant code snippet from the Evaluate function
into a new function called SetPhysCtrlRadius in order to avoid duplicating code doing the same thing.

2.5 filebrowser
Fix crash when loading old files with filebrowser UI
Partial Fix for invoking filebrowser via spacetype pupmenu: reset directory in filelist
Make paths relative in 'path' return when requested by 'relative_paths' property in operator

Patch [#19315], Fix for Jpeg2000 alpha channel bug [#19280]
thanks to Albertas Vyšniauskas (thezbyg)

remove minimal twist from 2.4x, is too much in development which changed in 2.5, better keep in 2.5x then try have them in sync.

2.5 filebrowser
fix operator property name 'type' was used by sequencer for strip effect type. Changed to 'filemode' for file browser.

Crash Fix: Sequencer Add->Effects->... menu crashed.

Unfortunately, this menu is now empty, but this shows that the sequencer code is probably doing something funky...

2.5 - UI Bugfixes

* Loading newly saved files (where linked-libs were used) crashed.
However, libraries still don't get loaded correctly yet for some reason...

* Pointer layout-items now draw without their UI text if their name is set to "" (i.e. text=""), making the ones with icons appear normal. This is kindof a hack, since it would be better to expose icon_only, but this way is less work.

* Gave the region icons a bit more padding for the clickable area

Compile fix: silencing warning due to /*.../* in a header

(It's strange seeing/making commits in trunk again after ignoring it as 'inferior' stuff for over a year now XD)

* Removed the grey overlapping 'region manipulation' triangles.

- They were causing unnecessary visual noise, breaking up the lines of the region edges
- Now you can just drag anywhere on a region edge to resize it, like existing area edges
- To minimise a region, click once on the region edge, or resize it down to nothing. For minimised regions, a (+) icon will appear, which you can click to restore it to the size it was before it was minimised.

Pointcache:
* Flagging object caches as outdated and use PTCACHE_RESET_OUTDATED as reset event

Bugfix: Append crashed because of wrong parameters passed.

2.5 filebrowser
Appending and Linking
* Linking Operator, invokes filebrowser for Append/Link
* Separated the append/link function into three parts:
** BLO_library_append_begin finds main for appending
** BLO_library_append_named_part appends one Object,Group, Material, ...
** BLO_library_append_end actually reads and expands the libraries

NOTE 1:
I also changed the returned properties for the filebrowser operators to the following convention:
"path" - the full path to a file or directory, means what is in directory + filename buttons in filebrowser
"directory" - the content of the directory button in filebrowser
"filename" - the content of the filename button in filebrowser
Usually only path should be required, but in some cases it might be more convenient to retrieve the parts separately.

Ton, Brecht: If you have time to take a look, let me know if anything needs to be fixed.
