Week 4: June 22-27
It’s been a slower week. I fixed a few issues and cleaned up the code a bit.
I added collection colors! Adding that to the Collection struct is simple, but the hard part is proving to be finding a method of displaying it in the outliner that is visible but not overpowering. It’s caused quite a discussion over on the other thread GSoC 2020: Outliner Discussion and Suggestions. I’m reading every reply and will try to make the best decision possible! I’ve implemented many of the suggestions along the way as well, some are easily integrated with the drawing code, and others require a bit of restructuring.
The reminder of my time was spent reading the code for the remaining tasks of my area. I spent a lot of time reading the code in outliner_tree.c and outliner_dragdrop.c and making small changes. I’ve had a few successful experiments with modifier drag+drop in the outliner, but just in a local branch. I’ll be committing it soon. Now that I’ve read the related code and made plans I’m ready to start on the remaining goals of the summer.
