nodes and links between them is stored in an offscreen list (not in the library). The Paste operator then in turn copies these into the active node tree in the editor.
Currently does not support copying of animation data. This would require copying of individual fcurves etc. between data block, which is not implemented yet.
Also it is currently possible to circumvent some constraints of the nodes, in particular for node groups (e.g. no groups inside groups, render layer not inside groups).

This patch extends the 'Make Group' operator and adds a new 'Separate' operator to add such functionality.
1) For inserting into existing groups:
The 'Make Group from selected' (CTRL+g) operator shows a selection popup (like the object parenting operator), with options depending on the type of the active node (last selected):
* "New" -> regular operator, creates new group type with all selected nodes inside.
* "Insert" (only if active node is a group) -> adds all other selected nodes into the group.
Currently still prohibits groups inside groups in general, though would be technically possible as long as no actual recursion occurs (group containing itself).
2) For extracting from an existing group:
New 'Separate from group' operator (p), works similar to separating vertices/edges/faces from mesh. Two modes:
* "Copy" makes a copy of the nodes in the parent tree, but keeps the original group intact.
* "Move" removes selected nodes from the node group and adds them to the parent tree

By holding shift and "cutting" a node link a new reroute helper node can be inserted. This consists of a single socket that can be used to insert additional connection points into a link. This can be used to keep a connection point in the tree when deleting a node, or to control the path of long connections for layout cleanup.

in particular.

TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).

socket to socket).
This operator still had some built-in assumptions about the connectivity of input/output sockets (1-to-n in all current node systems). For future node systems (e.g. flow-based particles) and for general customizable nodes the operator is now fully symmetric and supports all kinds of connectivity limits (1:1, 1:n, m:1, m:n).
The operator data can also store a list of node links as opposed to a single link now, so that multiple links can be redirected at once. Holding the CTRL key when clicking a socket, all links from/to that socket are detached and can be moved to a different socket. This is useful for quickly appending a node without moving every individual link.

types and make node code more robust for future nodes with extra socket data.
* Removed the struct_type identifier from sockets completely. Any specialization of socket types can be done by using separate collections in RNA and customized socket draw callbacks in node type. Sockets themselves are pure data inputs/outputs now. Possibly the sock->storage data could also be removed, but this will change anyway with id properties in custom nodes.
* Replaced the direct socket button draw calls by extra callbacks in node types. This allows nodes to draw sockets in specialized ways without referring to the additional struct_type identifier. Default is simply drawing the socket default_value button, only file output node overrides this atm.
* File output node slots now use a separate file sub-path in their storage data, instead of using the socket name. That way the path is an actual PROP_FILEPATH property and it works better with the UI list template (name property is local to the data struct).
* Node draw contexts for options on the node itself and detail buttons in the sidebar now have an extra context pointer "node" (uiLayoutSetContextPointer). This can be used to bind operator buttons to a specific node, instead of having to rely on the active/selected node(s) or making weak links via node name. Compare to modifiers and logic bricks, they use the same feature.
* Added another operator for reordering custom input slots in the file output node.

transform operators when using the select-mouse tweak event. Instead the release confirm setting in user preferences is used in that case. For the alternative action-mouse tweak event the behavior remains the same.

selected as a sub-selection of nodes and are then preferred by the auto-connect operator. This makes it easier to create precise links over long distances as an alternative to the click & hold operator.
Socket selection is indicated by a simple white highlight circle.
Multiple inputs can be selected by holding SHIFTKEY (just like regular node select). Only one output socket can be selected at a time for each node, but several outputs in different nodes are allowed.
The auto-connect operator will prefer selected sockets on nodes for creating links. If either the output or input side have no selected sockets it will fall back to the previous behavior of chosing 'best' sockets first (colors, then vectors, then values). This could be improved in the future, but is out of scope here.

1) Old CMP_NODE_OUTPUT_FILE and CMP_NODE_OUTPUT_MULTI_FILE have been merged,
only CMP_NODE_OUTPUT_FILE remains. All functions renamed accordingly.
2) do_versions code for converting single-file output nodes into multi-file
output nodes. If a Z buffer input is used, the node is made into a multilayer
exr with two inputs. (see below). Also re-identifies multi-file output nodes
with the CMP_NODE_OUTPUT_FILE type.
3) "Global" format is stored in node now. By default this overrides any
per-socket settings.
4) Multilayer EXR output implemented. When M.EXR format is selected for node
format, all socket format details are ignored. Socket names are used for layer
names.
5) Input buffer types are used as-is when possible, i.e. stored as B/W, RGB or
RGBA. In regular file output the format dictates the number of actual channels,
so the CompBuf is typechecked to the right type first. For multilayer EXR the
number of channels is more flexible, so an input buffer will store only the
channels it actually uses.
6) The editor socket type is updated from linked sockets as an indicator of the
actual data written to files. This may not be totally accurate for regular file
output though, due to restrictions of format setting.

the node muting system as well.
There are a number of features that use a kind of "internal linking" in nodes:
1. muting
2. delete + reconnect (restore link to/from node after delete)
3. the new detach operator (same as 2, but don't delete the node)
The desired behavior in all cases is the same: find a sensible mapping of inputs-to-outputs of a node. In the case of muting these links are displayed in red on the node itself. For the other operators they are used to relink connections, such that one gets the best possible ongoing link between previous up- and downstream nodes.
Muting previously used a complicated callback system to ensure consistent behavior in the editor as well as execution in compositor, shader cpu/gpu and texture nodes. This has been greatly simplified by moving the muting step into the node tree localization functions. Any muted node is now bypassed using the generalized nodeInternalRelink function and then removed from the local tree. This way the internal execution system doesn't have to deal with muted nodes at all, as if they are non-existent.
The same function is also used by the delete_reconnect and the new links_detach operators (which work directly in the editor node tree). Detaching nodes is currently keymapped as a translation variant (macro operator): pressing ALTKEY + moving node first detaches and then continues with regular transform operator. The default key is ALT+DKEY though, instead ALT+GKEY, since the latter is already used for the ungroup operator.

Unlike the existing file output node this node has an arbitrary number of
possible input slots. It has a base path string that can be set to a general
base folder. Every input socket then uses its name as an extension of the base
path for file organization. This can include further subfolders on top of the
base path. Example:
Base path: '/home/user/myproject'
Input 1: 'Compo'
Input 2: 'Diffuse/'
Input 3: 'details/Normals'
would create output files
in /home/user/myproject: Compo0001.png, Compo0002.png, ...
in /home/user/myproject/Diffuse: 0001.png, 0002.png, ... (no filename base
given)
in /home/user/myproject/details: Normals0001.png, Normals0002.png, ...
Most settings for the node can be found in the sidebar (NKEY). New input sockets
can be added with the "Add Input" button. There is a list of input sockets and
below that the details for each socket can be changed, including the sub-path
and filename. Sockets can be removed here as well. By default each socket uses
the render settings file output format, but each can use its own format if
necessary.
To my knowledge this is the first node making use of such dynamic sockets in
trunk. So this is also a design test, other nodes might use this in the future.
Adding operator buttons on top of a node is a bit unwieldy atm, because all node
operators generally work on selected and/or active node(s). The operator button
would therefore either have to make sure the node is activated before the
operator is called (block callback maybe?) OR it has to store the node name
(risky, weak reference). For now it is only used in the sidebar, where only the
active node's buttons are displayed.
Also adds a new struct_type value to bNodeSocket, in order to distinguish
different socket types with the same data type (file inputs are SOCK_RGBA color
sockets). Would be nicer to use data type only for actual data evaluation, but
used in too many places, this works ok for now.

- make sure defaults are not assumed (so reuse last settings doesnt
override)
- replace 0/1 for TRUE/FALSE defines.

Another bunch of fixes for select keymaps (sequencer, node, nla, graph, action).
|
|
The buttons for "hiding" (collapsing) a node, hiding unlinked sockets, additional options, the preview and for opening a node group were all using a custom mouse test function, which was broken. They now use actual buttons instead of just displaying icons. Before executing the respective operators the button's node has to be selected and activated, so the buttons use an intermediate handle function, which selects the node and then calls the operator.

This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
Detailed information can be found on the wiki page:

ctrl+shift+dkey, to avoid conflicts with alt+dkey for linked duplicates.
|
|
behavior (shift+dkey) is now to copy nodes and internal links, but not the input links from unselected nodes. This feature is available with the alternate duplicate operator (alt+dkey).

this will reconnect nodes as if the deleted node is muted.
Operation is added to the space_node node menu and to the keymap as CTRL-X
to test this just add some nodes to the space_node
select one or multiple nodes and press CTRL-X
It should reconnect the nodes as they were muted
limitations:
1. it performs a delete and reconnect per node. It does not evaluate all selected nodes as one whole
2. mute only supports Value, Vector and Color data types, so does this feature
3. not usable for nodes where input and output does not match (like colorToBW)
Where reconnect could not be preformed the links will be removed from the model.
Undo works with this delete with reconnect.

of input/output sockets. Those can be linked to internal nodes just like links between regular nodes. In addition group sockets can be renamed and have a defined order, which can be modified, and they can be removed again.
More details can be found in the patch tracker description (#24883) and on the code.blender.org development blog.

When using masks or other simple 3D elements in composites, doing
a layer re-rendering on a node is a bit clumsy all the time.
This commit does two things to help:
- new hotkey "Z" in node editor automatically finds render layer
that changed and re-renders it + composites
- option "Auto Render" does same, but then after every transform
edit in 3D window
The latter is experimental; real & proper system for this requires
full threaded render support (like previews). But it works!
Demo file:
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/auto_composite.blend
Important fix:
After any render, all the render layers were tagged "changed", which
caused any edit to first totally recomposte everthing. Now it only
composites changes.
Implementation notes
- DAG scene flush now sets 'changed' flags in render layer nodes
- Added notifier for 'transform finished' to trigger the update,
this is temporarily.

We already have 2 keys for delete, no need to add a 3rd, better use backspace only when it makes sense or allow users to hook it up to something.

"Select all of the same type" now is binding to Shift + GKEY
Two new function, select next and prev node of the same type.
Select a node and press Shift + [ or Shift + ] go to the
previous and next node of the same type (of the active node).
|
|
This is a small request from Venomgfx, select a node
and then press Shift + F to select all the nodes of the
same type (of the active node).
The key binding can be change, we thing in a "Find Next" (that is
way the FKEY) with venomgfx, but no problem with change that.
Also I add the entry in the select menu.

Allow dropping image files from outside blender, or image datablocks from inside blender
to the compositing node editor, to add an image node.
Also small tweak: Only set 'path' properties on drops, if the drag->path isn't empty.

Scrollwheel is being fully swallowed there now...
|
|
- ALT+Scrollwheel zooms backdrop in node editor
- Blender -d debug print will also print every event except mouse moves
(needed to debug WM, some events are catched by OS)
- Changed order of keymaps... the default maps now are evaluated *after*
the own custom maps, so you can make overrides or defaults.
|
|
For now it is on ALT+MiddleMouse. The view2d code eats the shift+mmb,
which is not necessary, but will have to ask Joshua to be sure.
Probably tomorrow it's shift+mmb as for 2.49.

Node R-key: read scene layers (from temp buffers)
SHIFT+R: read full sample layers.
|

shift+ctrl+click, because the ctrl_click goes to knife cutting.
Implementation note: this is a macro, select + link.

Add hidden property to be able to force confirm on release (drag immediately is a silly name) on or off.

* Cleaned up dead code, removed all traces of socket selection
* Modified border select so it's possible to have border select on mouse tweak.
With this change, by default, click+dragging on a node will select and move it,
but click+dragging on empty space will border select.

Testing a new method that hopefully will be faster to use than finicky socket
selection - now just select multiple nodes and press F - available output sockets
on the selected nodes will get automatically connected to the active node.
It works for one socket type each time, to avoid getting lots of extra connections
when you join up, but as a shortcut you can easily press F again to connect up
other socket types. For example, to connect a render layer node (with vector pass)
to a vector blur node, select the render layer then the vector blur, and press F
three times to connect up the Image, Z and Vector sockets. It now also
preferences sockets with the same name to connect up first.
There's also another option (ctrl F) which will replace existing input links, rather
than only connecting up links to available input sockets.
* Also changed socket link knife cut to a more convenient shortcut - Ctrl LMB tweak
