GSoC 2020: Outliner Weekly Reports

Week 2: June 8 - 13

I did not complete all items on my list for the week, but overall it was great. On the bright side I finished my CS algorithms class at my university so now I’m much more free to work on this project! And I’m still ahead of my anticipated schedule.

  • Added walk left/right navigation with arrow keys
  • Switched to radio icons instead of check and dot. The icons aren’t finalized, but this already is better (the check doesn’t get confused with the collection exclude checkbox.
  • Fixed an issue preventing me from properly using icon buttons (thanks @julianeisel!)
  • Cleaned up the code for drawing the column
  • Now every object mode can be toggled with the left column (see video). This makes it much easier to see which object is in a specific mode, and makes it simple to swap to a different object.
  • Removed activation on selection for collections and cameras. Now the only way to set the active collection is with the left column.
  • Created two new design tasks:

Next week’s goals:

  • Start on properties editor syncing: https://developer.blender.org/T63991
  • Hopefully get my cleanup patch reviewed for 2.90
  • Small fixes to make selection more consistent
  • Other smaller fixes on my todo list
