[Bf-committers] Blender IRC meeting

[Dalai Felinto]

On start.blend:

1) Addons:
1.1) "Copy Attributes Menu"
- not much for the object properties, but more for the Tex Face copy
options. If people are against the Ctrl+C menu by default we should at
least (imho) to branch it out and take the TexFace copy out of the
script. I do want to remove TexFace to 2.58, but in the mean time we
need a workflow to copy face options over and the addon is what we
have afaik.

1.2) "Export Blender Player"

2) User Preferences:
2.1) Can we have "Emulate 3 Button Mouse" on by default?
Not only it makes it work like In 2.49, but also makes people with no
scrollwheel happy (e.g. OSX and mousepad in laptops) and people that
doesn't like to press the MMB all the time (e.g. me ;)

2.2) Can "Tab as Spaces" be off by default?
A "polemic" one. I know why we have it on (pep8 *argh*), but really? I
still think that a Text Editor shouldn't assume we want to add spaces
instead of tabs.

Sincerely,
Dalai
(too bad the meetings are at 7am local time :/ otherwise I would bring
those points there)
