[Bf-committers] PATCH: Frame Rate Presets User Interface

[Troy Sobotka]

Summary: This patch provides an audience specific minor modification
to the user interface. For most audiences familiar with frame rates,
Blender's representation can be potentially confusing. This patch
provides seven default presets and hides the complexity of the
fps_base and fps values in the default view. The advanced settings are
quickly exposed when one selects a Custom preset value. The entire
patch is implemented at the UI layer, and as such, it does not alter
any default Blender behavior. The default frame rates provided are
23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60. They are also now easily
extensible simply by adding a preset to the scripts/presets/framerate
directory.

Further Information: The patch could be made more effective as it
makes a comparison of the presets via a series of Python values.
Ideally, it would iterate over the presets listed in the
presets/framerate path.
